"I'VE GOT 54 post-it notes on my wall on building a community in downtown Las Vegas," says Tony Hsieh. The founder of Zappos, an online shoe retailer now owned by Amazon, is turning the city's old town hall into its new campus, and part of Mr Hsieh's strategy is to engage his staff in helping to revive what was until recently an archetypal run-down urban area, ignored by the millions of tourists who visit Sin City's pleasure palaces. The post-it notes are ideas—how to improve the food scene, get a farmers' market, encourage the arts, build a hackers' space—from Zappos employees, a growing number of wVinm have mnveri into the area well ahead of the campus opening in 2013. A regeneration that "usually takes 10-15 years will take five", predicts Mr Hsieh.
