What a map, it even has Vegas on it although I think it should have an Entertainment value as well as Light Industry Value. Also has Regina which I believe is where the uranium came from for the bomb. Does this mean if the Japs can attack and destroy it then no A-Bombs

Didn't Las Vegas have a population of something like 100 until the 1940s or early '50s?

Pretty much. IIRC, Las Vegas got its start as a refueling hop for aircraft flying to the West Coast during WWII. No Entertainment Value, alas!

Vegas was established as a railroad town in 1905. Gambling was legalized in the city on March 19, 1931.... But it wasnt a dense population :
1930 : 5165 ppl lived there...in 1940 some 9000 lost souls lived there....in the middle of nowhere.
