Cool seeing the major change! Clarification on 'population of Las Vegas' please. Thousands? Millions?

Neither. Just thirty. The Strip and Henderson and I-15 and Luxor came along a bit later.

interesting to see the reported murder statistic, extremely low in the united states at the time, maybe just because they weren't all reported. but even stranger is that the UK has actually gone way down in comparisons to the states.
