Vegas is in decline not because of lack of pedestrian capability, is just kind of pointless.
Gambling? Well you can gamble much closer to home.
Shows? It's kind of arbitrary that Vegas was the hotspot, but the residencies are pretty much the same ones they had twenty years ago, and everything else you can find essentially the same show on tour.
Accommodations once luxurious haven't really kept up, again mostly monuments for how they were two decades ago. Preserving some of the ambition of back then but tossing a lot of it toward the end of saving money, and not really investing in keeping things as nice as you'd expect.
So what you have is the hubris of "look how far we pushed a city on the middle of the desert".
