“A resumption of nuclear tests, even below ground, would cast a shadow over the city’s [Las Vegas] image, raising fears about radiation exposure and environmental degradation. This is not an unfounded concern — Nevada’s history with nuclear weapons testing has left a deep and lasting stigma. The mushroom clouds of the 1950s and ’60s turned the state into an international symbol of nuclear Armageddon, a reputation that Las Vegas has worked tirelessly to shake.”
