Vegas the perfect stage for Conor McGregor’s ultimate challenge

The Las Vegas news cycle doesn’t roll around quite like the rest of the United States. Even a brief few minutes stuck sitting in an airport terminal stateside, with just a TV locked on a 24-hour news network for company, can shred the soul. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, choose your poison.

But don’t dwell too long on the decision. Because it doesn’t really matter which particular variety of ‘news’ you happen to find yourself trapped in front of. The news is the same — bad. Destruction. Damnation. Doom. A dash of weather if you’re lucky.

Vegas, though, does things differently. That is, of course, in keeping with the place — the world capital of WTF. It’s not that it’s immune to bad news. Any city of two million plus people in this, a country that with each passing week seems to be closer to tearing itself apart at the seams, couldn’t be that lucky.
