In an interdisciplinary approach this book for the first time
explores frontier-related elements in « real Las Vegas as well as
its representations in literature and film. Drawing on a broad
range of sources, the analysis reveals that, although Las Vegas
highlights its new frontiers in the entertainment industry, the
city operates within a framework that builds on Old Frontier
concepts adapted to meet the needs of present-day Western
experience culture. The Outer Edge of the Wave therefore suggests
that the concept of the American frontier as a cultural symbol has
continued to be at the very core of the success of the cultural
symbol Las Vegas. Today's Las Vegas, with its kaleidoscopic
assemblage of frontier interpretations and adaptations, thus
represents a unique version of the American frontier.
