> Without modern machinery and a national network keeping this place supplied with essentials there’s no way the current population of 2,200,000 people could survive in this environment. Las Vegas is basically a space colony.

Isn't that true of every large city? Is there any city of millions of people where you could put a wall around it and it would be self-sustaining? All cities rely on having food trucked in, use electricity mostly generated elsewhere, rely on water that comes from outside the city, etc...
