  • Las Vegas and Houston: Global Command Centers in the Sun Belt
    Las Vegas and Houston: Global Command Centers in the Sun Belt Bo J. Bernhard, Ph.D. Mikael Ahlgren, Ph.D. (candidate) Abstract Apart from their notoriously hot summers, Las Vegas, Nevada and Houston, Texas appear to have little in common. Upon further scrutiny, however, the two cities have followed strikingly parallel trajectories. As a hub of commercial gaming today, Las Vegas faces challenges comparable to the obstacles Houston encountered in the 1970s and 1980s as a hub of oil and energy. The story of Houston since this downtime reflects a stunning transformation into a modern-day international city, and one that both parallels and portends a new Las Vegas. In this article, we argue that Houston provides a viable model for Las Vegas as a “global command center” of a major international industry – and that in many ways Las Vegas is already following this path.1 Introduction Today, Las Vegas faces a seemingly endless pummeling of bad-news developments, and a local and national media all too eager to pounce upon them. First and perhaps most obviously, Sin City and its core gaming industry have found themselves firmly entrenched in the “Great Recession.” In 2010, Las Vegas gaming revenues were at approximately 81% of their peak levels -- reached just three years earlier – and unemployment in the city hit highs unseen by any metropolis in the U.S., including Detroit2. Worse, international competitors have appeared at a stunning and lucrative rate, and gaming revenues in Macao and now Singapore dwarf those of the “gambling capital of the world.” On a more local front, residents have started to abandon ship: Las Vegas’ 9% annual population growth rates in the decade of the 1990s are a distant memory, and growth actually turned negative for the first time in 20083.

  • Summerlin-Overview-101 Updated5
    COMMUNITY BUILDER Since Summerlin® began development in the late 1980s, the community has become home to more than 100,000 Southern Nevadans who enjoy an unparalleled quality of life within one of the country’s most dynamic and exciting cities. As one of the nation’s best-selling master-planned communities for nearly two decades, Summerlin has set the standard both locally and nationally for award-winning master-planned development. Situated along the western rim of the Las Vegas Valley in the shadow of the Spring Mountain Range and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Summerlin is unfolding on 35 square miles of desert land acquired by Howard Hughes in the 1950s. It is one of the nation’s largest contiguous properties under single ownership adjacent to a major metropolitan area. The Howard Hughes Corporation spent more than three years developing a community master plan that set the standard for master-planned communities nationwide. The result is the stunning and vibrant community of Summerlin – a place where residents learn and live in harmony with the environment, their neighbors and their families. A multi-generational community, Summerlin abounds with parks, trails, sports fields, golf courses, natural open areas and its own live, work, play urban core in the heart of the community. The community boasts more educational choices than any other in Las Vegas with more than two dozen schools, including the city’s finest private schools and top-ranked public schools. Summerlin is also home to a growing number of national and local businesses that choose to make it a place to work as well as live.

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.
