Even during the worst recession in decades, Las Vegas is projected to host about 36 million visitors in 2009.

During a 1983 Democratic National Committee fundraiser, 800,000 of the 1 million callers rang in just to declare their support for their Republican President Ronald Reagan.

And in 1998, it joined the computer age when it became the first telethon to be seen worldwide via Internet simulcast...
