Adolescents in Adult City
Topic: Society 9:28 am EDT, Jun  1, 2004

City elders tried marketing Las Vegas as a family destination. The scheme was jettisoned for a new campaign that hypes Las Vegas as America's grown-up romper room, the center of sin and indulgence.

Now the hotel rooms are full, and people keep moving here. Las Vegas grows at a supersonic rate. But within this growth lie seeds of conflict. One in four Las Vegans is a minor.

Who needs high school anyway? teenagers ask. Not when valet parking attendants tell stories about making $100,000 a year. Here, stripping and blackjack dealing are viable career choices. To a teenager, adult life in Las Vegas can look easy.

IT? Who needs IT?
