Summary:
The fifth in a series documenting the Edward P. Bass Visiting Fellowship in Architecture at Yale, this book chronicles the collaboration of Fellow Chuck Atwood, the former vice chairman of Harrah's board of directors, with Davenport Visiting Professor David M. Schwarz, assisted by Brook Denison and Darin Cook. Focusing on Las Vegas's lack of pedestrianism, they asked the students to investigate vital urban sites around the world and then apply theses lessons learned to the automobile-centric Strip. The students met with Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, Harrah's CEO Gary Loveman, and private-equity managers David Bonderman and Marc Rowman as they devised ways to transform the world's premiere themed playground into a livable and pedestrian-oriented city.

Summary:
For a considerable period of time, looking at things has been considered a form of work. Visiting famous buildings and thinking about various things, looking for western-style buildings secretly hidden away in towns and investigating their origins, as well as writing about such thoughts and opinions, have become an occupation. This is what the «professional watcher» does.
