News Flash: Vegas a den of crass commercialism

You can’t sneak the sun past reporting rooster John Silvester of the Brisbane Times of Australia. Perhaps after slapping his forehead with the palm of his hand, he concludes “Las Vegas is simply stupid” and is secretly interested in separating tourists from their “holiday funds.”

“Las Vegas is simply stupid. It makes no sense, dropped as it is in the middle of the desert on the road to nowhere. The area was once considered so barren the US government chose a spot just 100 kilometres away to explode nearly 1000 nuclear weapons during 40 years of testing.”

This is dynamite stuff. It’s well worth a read, eye roll, and chuckle.
