With its gleaming casinos, growling F1 race cars, giddy roller coasters—in short, glittering toys—Sin City laughs out loud at the desolation of the desert. In , writers from Las Vegas and beyond drop into the Mojave’s vast sandbox and ask what it means to chase pleasure in a place that punishes extravagance.
