Las Vegas according to the New York Times

Well, it's not a hot news (I saw these articles while I was on holidays in Hawaii) but it's still a very interesting eye on Vegas. The NY Times, which I consider the most useful and interesting newspaper (after the Las Vegas Sun and the Las Vegas Review), published for an entire week a serie of interview with people who moved to Vegas. See why they came, what they got, why they stayed. *Registration to the NY Times is free but required to read these articles*.

Quoted from the site: "Las Vegas is at the center of a population boom that has transformed the American desert over the last three decades. This series will examine what a few typical dreamers have found in this place of unmatched opportunity and extreme dysfunction".

Index of NY Times articles:
Crossing the Border Into the Middle Class In Las Vegas, unlike most U.S. cities, busboys, dishwashers and janitors can easily gain a foothold in the middle class.

The Pied Piper of Las Vegas Seems to Have Perfect Pitch In Las Vegas, the job of mythmaker falls to Billy Vassiliadis, adman, huckster, deal maker and fixer extraordinaire.
