I'm John Bachelor. Jeff Bliss is Pacific Watch, on location in Las Vegas, on the strip, looking around him,

he's going to take us a tour of the towers of Las Vegas. This is a city Jeff has introduced me to

these last years, and we've approached it in a puzzle. What is Las Vegas of the future? It would

appear from all of the activity these last

years that it's going to be turning itself into a sports capital more than a gambling capital,

but there will be gambling available. There will be lots of things to do for families.

The baseball stadium is the most important thing I've seen because it'll be the newest version of what baseball can turn itself into, which is an entertainment that is quite dumbfoundingly sophisticated.

Of course, there is the sphere which dominates the skyline when it wants to.

Jeff has introduced me all these things, but now

let's go live to Jeff Bliss. He is on the strip, which is a road, I believe, and he'll spin around

and take us on a tour of what he can see over his shoulder. Jeff, a very good day to you.

What lights do I see behind you now?

Can you tour for me?

Good day, John.

This is the Flamingo Hotel behind me.

That's the one that was made famous in movies and in gangster lore.

It was really kind of people view it as one of the founding hotel casinos here in Vegas. Of course, it's changed

over the years, but it's still a very important landmark. And now as I turn, what is over my

shoulder as you go down the strip is you have the Paris Hotel, which includes a replica of the

Eiffel Tower. You can even pay a lot of money like you do in Paris to go up to the top.

Nothing's free here in Vegas anymore. And then farther down the strip, you'll get to places like

the MGM Grand, which is very large. It was rebuilt after a big fire in the late 70s, early 80s.
