Talk About Las Vegas With Ira

This week, Ira spoke with Daniel K. Bubb, author of “Landing in Las Vegas: Commercial Aviation and the Making of a Tourist City.” In this 30-minute episode of Talk About Las Vegas, Bubb talks about the impact of commercial aviation on Las Vegas and how the West was a perfect fit through speed, space, and time; the development of package deals; the symbiotic relations between airlines and Las Vegas resorts; the choice between cars and planes when coming to Las Vegas from Southern California; the impact of the coronavirus on air travel to Las Vegas; and the future of Las Vegas when dealing with a public that is hesitant to fly.
