A new report lists Las Vegas as ninth in the nation for the likelihood of a terrorist attack. The Rand Center for Terrorism made the ranking from a two-year study.

The mega-hotel/casinos on the Las Vegas Strip are the reason Las Vegas ranks so high on the list. Las Vegas’ resorts attracted 39 million visitors in 2006, and world wide attention. The report says the hotel/casinos also may have attracted the attention of terrorists both domestic and foreign.
