“Las Vegas doesn't allow ( tourism ) to dictate the social norms of their community. We don't have to be a boring town that no one is willing to come to. ( But, ) we can't let tourism be the reason for not taking action. Accountability is not there. As a community we can be different. We don't have to be what our visitors are. We can work at policies that will make us a vibrant healthy resort community.” DifferentReasonActionSocialCommunityPolicyWillingCommunicationHealthyTownsBoringAccountabilityNormResortsVegasLas VegasTourismTaking ActionVisitorsSocial Norms Author:Eric Thomas

“I've consciously taken on material that's a bit too much for me but not an overreach. The first movie, just about performances. 'The Town,' I learned how to work broader material, develop tension, direct bigger scenes, action sequences.
