SIR – Prince Harry has been tricked about his behaviour which he thought was in private but was not. It has given Las Vegas a bad name and it is now referred to as ‘Sin City’.

When I visited Las Vegas in the 1980s as a non-celebrity (Tom Jones was singing there), I asked the hotel barman if it was OK to walk through the centre of town at night with my wife and daughter (in some cities in Britain it was not).

The hotel barman said Las Vegas was probably the safest city in the United States as it was mainly run by the Mafia who would not tolerate any anti-social behaviour lest it affect visiting gamblers and affect their large legal income. Anyone caught misbehaving was not harmed but given a long car ride on a desert road.
