Publisher: New York Times, 2004ISSN: 1522-3205;.Subject(s): American dream (Philosophy) | Cities and towns -- Growth | Las Vegas (Nev.) | Metropolitan areas -- Population | Migration -- Internal | Social problems | Suburban sprawlDDC classification: 050 Summary: "South on Las Vegas Boulevard, well beyond the casino-scraped skyline, there is a three-story hotel where tourists seldom go. The parking lot is sprinkled with U-Haul trucks and trailers. A school bus stops at the front office. A sign on the lawn offers discounts for guests who stay a week or more. Inside the no-frills rooms, where sheets and blankets cost extra, a desert city's promise of new beginnings is regularly put to the test. This busy hotel and others in the Budget Suites of America chain are the cinder-block equivalent of circled wagon trains, a community of dreamers, pioneers and strivers pulling up for a while en route to someplace and something better."
