Developing a REAL Las Vegas Downtown

San Diego, Los Angeles and Denver: These cities, like many others across the country, have been working on revitalizing their downtown areas. There's been work on cleaning up streets and getting rid of crime. There's been a push to attract businesses, create parks and increase entertainment, all in the name of generating civic pride. Las Vegas is now more than a decade into its redevelopment and we'll take a look to see if the city best known for "The Strip" can create a cool downtown residents want to spend time in.
