"Vegas with a population about 1/20th of LA"
Hey, I resemble that remark! Can't let my fabulous Las Vegas take one on the chin.
Truth be told, with about 2,000,000 folks in the Las Vegas metro area compared to about 13,000,000 folks in the Los Angeles area . . . well, you do the math. (Or, if you let me, I come up with Vegas being between 1/6th to 1/7th of LA's population.)
And Salt Lake City only about 1/50th of LA? I peg Salt Lake at about 1,200,000, or slightly under 1/10th of LA, far from 1/50th.
(I used the 2010 figures from
here , and I'm sure other information sources will be more or less in line.)
(On the other hand, saltydog, the spelling in your post was perfect!
