There are many options when combating terrorism. This form of combating terrorism, or counterterrorism, includes options such as retaliation, preemption, negotiation, covert military operation, special operations, prosecution and punishment. In the case of prosecution and punishment one can find a terrorist or terror group guilty of a crime and then are able to prosecute in a national or international court of law and punish to the fullest extent of that law befitting the crime committed. In using tactics such as military operations or military operations we are able to take any number of actions through any number of categories including preemptive and retaliation moves. These operations are primarily run out of military or special federal agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.
Retaliation is known primarily as a form of vengeance after an act of aggression is committed against the US in the form of terrorism. In this way the United States performs some kind of action categorized under "counterterrorism" as a way of getting back at these groups or individuals for the damage they did not only to national security but also national pride. However, this has proven to be wildly unsuccessful in bringing about useful results over the course of many years.
[...] As a way of combatting foot traffic entrance by terrorist groups and individuals to the city and specifically the strip itself casinos should quickly and quietly be alerted to the chance of an attack so as to beef up private security as well as notifying them that city and county police presence will be greatly heightened on the outside of the premises at the very least.

This form of monitoring and show of force should create enough deterrent to prevent any attack from occurring within the lines of the Las Vegas strip. At the same time the security alert of the nation should be heightened by at least one grade. [...]

[...] In turn the fallout from the falling buildings and erosion of the area around the breakdown will in turn cause causalities of the thousands of visitors roaming the strip everyday but also future illness and death of those living in the area who will be affected by chemical and material breakdown due to said fallout over time. This will not only cause physical damage but also a great amount of economic damage due to the loss of the greatest money makers of the economy of Las Vegas but also the need for evacuation of those residents in the area and thus further loss.
