The Strip – a jumbled visage of cranes, traffic, people and neon; posters, screens, screams, fountains, gawkers, touts, tourists; a pyramid, a roller coaster, an imitation Statue of Liberty, a fake Eiffel Tower and all the rest.

Las Vegas is returning to its roots. Gone is any pretence of a family destination. And don’t the punters love it.
