Las Vegas

I first went to Las Vegas in my sophomore year of college. A friend and I were hitch-hiking to work on combines "following the wheat crop North." We were picked up by small-time New York hustler, who claimed to have bedded every girl in the Copacabana chorus line. (Sure he did.)

He convinced us to join him in Las Vegas. I got a job as a cub reporter at the Las Vegas Review Journal.

I loved it, the gambling, the shows, whatever.

Vegas was a relatively small city then. Now I believe it is the fastest-growing city in America.
It has family entertainment, as well as high rollers.

And how about this anomaly? It has a large Mormon population.
