More Thoughts on CNN’s Las Vegas History Documentary Series

VEGAS: THE STORY OF SIN CITY (EP 3)

Episode 3 of the quasi-History of Las Vegas documentary aired last night on CNN.

As with the first two segments, there were many revelations and even a few surprises. I tend to be cynical about these dumbed-down, spoon-feeders for the masses. However, this CNN production has done a terrific job (so far) in capturing the evolution of Las Vegas — melding the worlds of gambling, entertainment, social evolution, crime, business, and politics.
