If Las Vegas had found itself in the West Midlands conurbation of England, I would have avoided it like a crevasse. But out there in American red rock country, it exerts a pull even on those who, like me, have more in common with John Muir than Donald Trump. The secret affinity between gambling and the desert: the intensity of gambling reinforced by the presence of the desert all around the town. The air-conditioned freshness of the gaming rooms, as against the radiant heat outside. The challenge of all the artificial lights to the violence of the sun's rays. Jean Baudrillard |
