I hear people often say there is nothing to Vegas but the strip. How do you define 'nothing'?
The Metro has 1.9 million people, so it's hard to believe NOTHING is going on outside of the strip. So, my question is, would you compare off-strip Las Vegas to mid-sized cities like Charlotte or Orlando...

..or is it even less than that?
Orlando, maybe. Charlotte, no.
The fact that Charlotte is larger than both Orlando and Vegas, and doesn't promote or rely on tourism as much as the other two is a big difference.
Charlotte is also home to many Fortune 500 companies, one of the largest energy sectors in the country, ect.
The main activity in Charlotte isn't at the amusement park, and there are no casinos. Charlotte is the typical American city and functions as that.

Residential Las Vegas off strip? I'd say more like CA's Inland Empire. It's Western , not Southern.
