Panel discussion entitled Las Vegas: Past, Present, Future with Frank Wright, Richard Bryan, and Thomas J. Hickey moderated by Robert Tracy on January 11, 2002 for the American Institute of Architects (AIA) of Nevada annual meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada. In this discussion, the three panelists discuss Las Vegas' past and the history that both created the city and informs public opinion about it, the present and the challenges the growing city faces socially and economically, and the potential future directions the city might take to ensure continued prosperity.
