Las Vegas didn’t need any extra publicity to attract tourists. The state of Nevada, whose motto is All for our country , is keeping its promises. In addition to slot machines, Las Vegas tourists will be able to get high.
Fifth state to legalize marijuana sales
After Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska, Nevada is the fifth state to legalize the sale of marijuana. Las Vegas, which is located in this state, will fully benefit from this novelty.
