In under a year it has established itself as the Vegas destination for style-sensitive 20- to 40-year-olds. Until now they would have thought of Vegas as the capital of shlock, possibly quoting Hunter Thompson’s damning description of the city: “Las Vegas is what the whole hep world would be doing on a Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war.”I checked out of the 3,000-room Treasure Island with its skull-shaped door handles and rows of pirate-themed stores and restaurants (Damsels in Dis’Dress, Black Spot Grille). Replicas of Paris and Monte Carlo are also being built, these four alone adding 11,000 rooms to the city’s capacity.The most surprising development of all, however, is the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino a few blocks away from the Strip. Here, demand follows supply – the more rooms that are added, the more visitors come. So the Strip will soon see Lake Como brought to the desert with the billion-dollar Bellagio resort, while the New York, New York hotel will recreate the Manhattan skyline. Hence Las Vegas’s turreted Excalibur hotel – an Arthurian confection with touches of King Ludwig; Caesar’s Palace with its Forum arcade of shops from Versace to Gucci, talking Roman statues and an artificial sky where the sun sets every 10 minutes; and the Mirage – a Polynesian paradise with white tigers prowling behind glass and a 40ft flaming volcano that erupts every quarter of an hour at night time.How can any new hotel beat that? In recent months, entrepreneurs have been focusing hard on the problem Las Vegas seems to have its own unique law of economics. The MGM Grand – whose 5,005 rooms make it the largest in the world – has its own sports stadium and is surrounded by a 33-acre theme park where the star attraction is not Sammy Davis Junior, but the 90ft tall lion who stands guard over the Yellow Brick Road.What is going on in Glitter Gulch? Nevada, which until 10 years ago enjoyed a monopoly on gambling, had to come up with new attractions when the activity was legalised in 22 other states.

Treasure Island (a mock 18th-century pirate village on the edge of an artificial Buccaneer Bay) is another themed hotel which appeals to families rather than to gamblers. The Luxor, which is the boldest and brashest, has a 360ft black glass pyramid with a faux- Egyptian theme; inside you can sail in a barge around a mock river Nile, while two giant talking camels greet visitors in the lobby. Once there were only 24-hour gambling joints, topless bars called Boobs-R-Us, tacky wedding chapels and tired showbiz stars squeezing the last few dollars from their fading careers. Now there are family hotels, theme parks with an educational or environmental theme, the politically correct Cirque du Soleil circus, Michael Crawford musicals and venues designed to appeal to smart young professionals with an unexpected sense of, well, style.The higher evolution of Las Vegas began in 1993, with the launch of three mega-resorts offering an alternative to gambling. On page 58, literary Key WestForget the tarot stalls, crystal vendors and wind chimes of San Francisco: ironically, it’s in Las Vegas, traditionally known as Sin City or Lost Wage$, that a New Age has begun. The Hard Rock Hotel is setting a new trend in Glitter Gulch.

Less good ones tend to be either dilute, or tannic in a tough, dry sort of way.

When I was a gawky teenager, my parents took me to Europe, broadened my horizon, and changed my life. After I graduated high school, I was ready to travel to Europe on my own, but my parents were nervous. To earn their blessing, I had to make two promises: I wouldn’t go to Turkey (because they were worried I’d be sold into the white slave trade) and I’d write home every other day. My dad figured that if the postcards stopped coming, at least he’d know where to begin looking.
