> It'll be really hard to ever make that appealing

How about folks drinking beer on the street, the ceaseless outside speakers, and totally shameless flaunting of the sex trade on every corner? I'm not a prude, but there is something to be said for a little class. I didn't even notice the block/street size when I was there.

I didn't find the sex trade particularly off-putting my only time in Vegas; what I did find awful was the constant hustle and hard sell. The public transport actually seemed pretty good, and I would have been quite comfortable walking about if it weren't for people constantly, constantly in my face, trying to sell me something.

Nothing wrong with drinking outdoors (though Vegas probably brings out the worst in it), but I agree with you on the rest.
