They say the streets of Las Vegas are deserted now, people are not flocking there as they used to.

I've already written this in the comments yesterday, but it really needs it's own post.

Counting from the date of the establishment of the State of Israel - May 14, 1948 - until the 7th day of Chanukah this year [Dec 21] - it will be 77 years, 7 months, and 7 days, which you can see for yourself by clicking here [thanks Yaak].

If you are unaware, our world is a world of 7 and the world of Moshiach is a world of 8.

Chanukah also represents the number 8.  

Seven symbolizes the Natural order, for G‑d created the world in six days and rested on the seventh, which He made holy, thus creating the holy Shabbos. Seven, therefore, represents the whole of Creation, or Nature. 

 Eight, on the other hand, being higher than seven, symbolizes the Super-natural. The human brain is a creation of G‑d, and part of Nature. Human intelligence is therefore limited to the Natural order; anything which is above and beyond Nature is also above and beyond human understanding. [Source - The Significance of Eight]
