Tourists at The Venetian take rides in a makeshift canal system built to resemble Venice, marvel at one of the largest fountain shows in the world at the Bellagio and cool off in dozens of pools that evaporate gallons of fluids in the oppressive heat.
Residents of Las Vegas feel neglected as the city focuses on attracting newcomers and tourists for major events, leading to rising housing costs, lower wages, and a decline in their quality of life. Despite the significant revenue from events like the Super Bowl and Formula 1 Grand Prix, locals believe their needs are being overlooked in favor of catering to non-locals.
