well, if i were an evil manipulating liar with a lot of power and capable of the most heinous kinds of acts in the pursuit of personal gain and profit i'd set up my headquarters in Washington DC. i'd have a grand White House with fancy pillars out front and an extensive rose garden all paid for by the very people i exploit. i'd smirk a lot as i strutted around my mansion headquarters, smug in the knowledge that i can do any nasty illegal thing i want and get away with it simply by signing a statement that says i'm above the law of the land.

I think the devil is sort of like God. He can set up shop wherever he chooses. Vegas has a lot evils already, with gambling and other vices very abundant.
It is also a town populated by many good people, and that needs to be remembered.
I am not the devil and cannot in any way think as he does, but Las Vegas is just one of several places I might consider if I were him. I would also consider cities like Paris, Rio de Janeiro, New Orleans or San Francisco, not because these are bad cities, or because they are populated by bad people, but because many bad people are attracted to them.

The Stand is a good Book! You know there is a place in Michigan called Hell, Michigan not far from Detroit...LOL...I would set up Hqtrs in the least obvious place, in the middle of America, probably Arkansas. Maybe Mexico.
If he did set it up in Las Vegas, he did it for Economical reasons and everything is already set up, gambling, prostitution, you name it! He read Faustus, promise them everything and give 'em Nothing, except a hard time, stupid employers with no mercy or heart, Low wages, rotten housing, bad food , high gasoline prices and a bad case of dysentery!

He probably heard that Vegas in the summer was hot as hell, and so he felt at home.

OK if he's over there - then we're safe in Australia.
