In the Desert of Desire: Las Vegas and the Culture of Spectacle
William L. Fox
Examines how Las Vegas' culture of spectacle has obscured boundaries between art and entertainment, as well as public and private interest. This work offers an insight into the increasing commercialization of nature and culture across America, and the ways Las Vegas has manipulated them to achieve ever-higher levels of extravagance and spectacle.
