He also considers the advantages and perils of living in a nonstop twenty-four-hour city rich in entertainment options and easy access to gambling, drugs, and other addictions. His examination includes the prior to now unstudied role of neighborhood casinos patronized by locals somewhat than tourists and the have an effect on that a very mobile population has on schools, churches, and community life.
