What happens in Sin City may not stay in Sin City...
Vegas ranks ninth among American cities most likely to suffer a major terrorist strike, according to a newly released report by a government-funded think tank.
The Rand Corporation report notes Vegas has having a large number of likely targets when compared to other major U.S. cities. The Rand report noted the targets, the hotels on the Vegas strip. The study looked at the potential losses if terrorists used two different truck bombs, “5″ and “10″ ton truck bombs. An airliner striking a hotel and the doomsday scenario of the devastation of a 5 kiloton nuclear bomb.

OJ got setup.
After insisting that he was setup, word leaked from an FBI report that OJ Simpson was setup in the Las Vegas memorabilia bust. The FBI was informed of the planned OJ break-in and bust three weeks prior to the event.
A dealer planned to tape the entire thing and televise it.
OJ planned to tape the entire thing and televise it.
So, OJ set himself up.
More from the NY Daily News:O.J. Simpson and a memorabilia dealer initially hoped to videotape The Juice's Las Vegas hotel heist and televise the operation to make money, an FBI source said Friday. What's more, federal agents learned about the ludicrous scheme three weeks before it took place Sept. 13, but did not pursue the matter beyond a written report, the source said.
Many people did not believe OJ. Now some evidence comes to light to support the "setup" charge. And this time, it was OJ that did the set up.
Dealer Thomas Riccio told FBI agents Aug. 21 about Simpson's plan while talking to agents about another matter, the source said. Riccio did not mention that the confrontation would involve guns or Simpson taking items that did not belong to him.
