Las Vegas looks to stimulus for "Mob Museum"
Work out the cost-benefit ratio for this one: a new mob museum in Las Vegas. I just came across the item in Vegas' KXNT radio site:
Mayor Oscar Goodman is looking to bring more tourists and more traffic to the downtown area, and he says if federal stimulus money can help fund some big-ticket projects, such as the Mob Museum, the Smith Center for the Performing Arts, and the proposed new city hall, then they'll take it. Goodman hopes to speak with Senator Harry Reid about the three projects, which he says will pay for themselves by attracting more development, residents, and businesses to the downtown area. Goodman says he hasn't submitted any requests, nor is anything formal yet.
My complaint isn't that the Mob museum won't bring jobs and tourists to Las Vegas. It probably will. But shouldn't those jobs in... Jersey?
