OVER THE YEARS, Las Vegas has accumulated many nicknames, including Sin City, The Strip, City of Entertainment, City of Lights, Neon City, The Entertainment Capital of the World and, if you include Downtown, Glitter Gulch. But the city may be well on its way to adding another to this lengthy list ... Comeback City, if the rumors about Britney Spears and Michael Jackson come true.
