  • Las Vegas As a Symbol: Goffman and Competing Narratives of Sin City
    Las Vegas as a Symbol: Goffman and Competing Narratives of Sin City Michael Green Dmitri Shalin has demonstrated the importance of Erving Goffman to the field of sociology, and in this case to the sociology of Las Vegas as a gambling, resort, and urban center. But Goffman also was part of a trend, or more accurately what became a trend, and he played an important role in it. When Goffman came to Las Vegas in the late 1950s and early 1960s in connection with his field work as a downtown casino dealer, “the city of non-homes,” as he called it, was at a turning point in a variety of ways. When he published his findings in the late 1960s, including his essay “Where theAction Is,” Las Vegas was positioned for another turning point that he helped to coax onward: becoming an important field for scholarship. This essay attempts to explain the Las Vegas in which Goffman found himself, and the Las Vegas whose understanding he went on to enhance with the publication of his work.1 By the late 1950s, when Goffman began plotting his field work, LasVegas had given him a field to work in by managing to become part of the national consciousness.That road had been less likely than it seemed at the time or since. Since the town’s founding on May 15, 1905, as a repair stop on the Los Angeles to Salt Lake railroad, Las Vegans promoted an image of their area. At first they sought new industry, along with touting the town’s possibilities as a mining center, an agricultural community, and a health center.2 While early Las Vegans sought to promote an image of their community, the next generation and those that followed would prove more adept and successful in that quest.

  • 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.

If you look, you will notice that it says “Summer 2010,” and you might think to yourself, “But it’s 2012.” We know! Like you, we have felt the effects of the economy, and this led to staffing and financial issues that delayed publication of the Quarterly. But we are still here, and we plan to stay here. Whether it is 2010 or 2011, Las Vegas is a subject of great historical interest, and it is the subject of this issue. In 2005, Las Vegas celebrated its centennial, marking its development from the May 15, 1905, auction that created the town. But other centennials have happened since: in 2009, the hundredth anniver- sary of the creation of Clark County, and in 2011, the centenary of Las Vegas’s incorporation as a city. Since Las Vegas long has put a premium on celebrating just about anything, we will join in with three articles about tourism, broadly conceived.
