Mullen uses interviews with numerous persons who work in the local media to create a new oral history of Las Vegas and give voice to the city's inhabitants. An examination of the newspaper, television, radio, and political dimensions of Las Vegas gives new perspective to life in this fascinating place. | Las Vegas by Lawrence J.
