The paradox: “It is by its very sustenance a city teeming with losers, yet the tallest residential structure in town has Trump’s name on it. People flock here in hopes of something gained, of some miraculous transfer of wealth, of beating or evening the odds rigged against them, of leaving inhibitions behind, in fear and loathing, in remembrance of things lost.”

Another insightful source of background info on Las vegas is the BBC documentary by Louis Theroux. "These shiny hotels were not built with the money of the winners".
