The line between Las Vegas (along with maybe Reno) and Nevada moves every time we land there and head out of the city. Each time, we have to go a little bit further, the suburbs marching in lockstep towards the mountains and the west, the “55-plus community” billboards going up well out along 95 North now, while that “community” is, right now, nothing more than a rusting water tanker, spilling water on the dirt grid roads of the neighbourhood to keep the dust down, and the stick-frame houses that will eventually all share stucco of a small range of acceptable colours.
