I am the greatest Vegas showman you will ever meet.

25 Years of Growth in Vegas

More than a few things have changed in Las Vegas in the past 25 years. The people, the music, and of course, the landscape, have all underdone dramatic transformations. The images below, very much an “outside looking in” perspective on Vegas, are courtesy of NASA’s Earth Observatory. For an “inside looking out” perspective, come to any one of my shows.

    The insistence that we live in an uninhabitable desert like where Vegas is going to have a long-lasting ecological repercussion. These photos are mindblowing.
