Las Vegas in digital times

Abstract

In his brief Commentary in this issue of the Journal of Urban Design, Jonathan Barnett recalls the communities of architects and planners’ excitement about the Scott/Venturi book Learning from Las Vegas, and asks what could be learnt from the city in the Mogave Desert today, 50 years later. He is observing a gradual change of the strip and the transition of the entertainment city into a normal American community that is threatened by a shortage of water. This brief Commentary is a response to his observations. It reminds the reader that entertainment habits are changing, that travelling to Las Vegas has lost its appeal, as Las Vegas is all over in the digital world of the twenty-first century.
