* I feel Vegas is doing fine without any building
restrictions. Let the city grow at the pace the developers want to
put their money into the project. Anna D. NY
* To ask Las Vegas to stop
building new casinos is like asking Disneyworld to stop adding new
rides. Sandy Nicholson
* No way, there is a whole
desert out there waiting to be developed. Walt Cooper

* I believe Vegas is and
will continue to be way overbuilt in nightclubs and casinos because many
states are getting their own casinos. People will decide eventually to
stay home and lose their money in their home state. Vegas is already
overpriced on buffets, shows and rooms and developers like Steve Wynn
don't make it any easier for the working class to enjoy Vegas, unless
you don't care about the little guy. When the hammer falls, guess who
has to bail Vegas out? Not Steve Wynn!! Thank You, A Vegas Lover.

* We've been visiting LV for the
past 18 years. Some changes are good, but if you aren't very young and
healthy, it's difficult to get around the "too large" casinos. You can't
locate your partner and the distance between casinos is awful. For the
past 4 years we have stayed on Freemont St. It's more convenient and
friendlier. Distance between casinos is much better. We seldom visit the
"Strip". These new places are nice to see once, but I wouldn't spend
much time gambling in them. Pat Grieves Wapakoneta OH
* To me Vegas is and always will
be about the biggest and best there is, so why should their buildings
not reflect this? After all the casinos where there long before most of
the residences. Vegas has had a steady population growth and it is now
these newcomers, who were initially attracted to the big city lights and
glamour, who now want things to change. I say lets see what they can
dream up next. Every time I come to Vegas I am amazed at the new
buildings that have sprung up, the imagination of the designer and the
expertise of the builders and the architects who bring the dream to
life. I say, 'the sky's the limit!' Kim French
* I don't think there
should be any restrictions on the building of high rise condos or
casinos in Vegas. The people with the money to build new structures have
most likely done their homework and will not spend their money to build
something that will not be necessary. It's all a matter of supply and
demand. Jan Harris Tucson AZ
* I think there needs to be
a moratorium placed on the building of timeshares in Las Vegas. When my
husband and I visit Vegas we have to pretend to either not know each
other or pretend every day of our trip is our last so we don't get
hounded every 10-20 steps we take. As for building casinos, I don't
think Vegas is being overbuilt. If a new casino goes up, it's probably
because they knocked one down to make room. As for high rise condos
there are too many but we all secretly wish we owned one! Tammy

* I think that if they can
keep renting the new rooms and solve the problem of getting a water
supply that can handle the growth then the growth should continue.
It will help make Las Vegas a major city in the United States besides
being a vacation site. David Ralls Eagan Minnesota
* I like Vegas the way it is, I
think they should stop building and cater to the existing customers
rather than build icons to themselves and then expect the players to pay
for them. D. A. IL
