The Washington Post has an article on how Vegas is abandoning the family appeal that was pushed in the 1990's and going back to more adult-based attractions.
The 1990s effort to build a "family-oriented" Las Vegas was always a challenge to the town's flamboyant history. Ever since mobster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel erected the first oversized sign outside a casino here in 1931, Las Vegas has been a place for adult pursuits -- and it remains so today.Link (thanks, Pyrate!)
If true, I'm fine with it. I think Vegas is not really a great place to take kids anyway. But I also think Dave Schwartz is right on the money when he says it's a "now-tired observation that Las Vegas is becoming less family-friendly and more adult oriented. Just like the 'family fun' story was overstated in the mid-1990s, the 'skin city' angle is getting more print than it deserves now." These stories make it seem like all Vegas resorts were converted to Disneylands in the 1990's, and now they're being converted to Bunny Ranches. To me, Vegas feels almost identical now to how it felt in the 90's.
