Or maybe that is just part of the experiement - to find out for sure IF Las vegas is the right place to hold a regional...

All the previous discussions about Las Vegas as a possible venue for a FIRST event have drawn upon the "Sin City/Family Town" reputation. But no one has had any real DATA to show how well a FIRST event might fit in if held in Las Vegas - just speculation. What better way to find out if it would work or not than to just try it and see what happens. As Grandma used to say, "empirical data is better than no data at all." (OK, she didn't really say that, but it sounded good... )
