LAS VEGAS — The top tourism official in Las Vegas says the city hasn’t priced out regular travelers, even as July visitor counts fell and casinos took in more from gamblers.
Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), said monthly figures can bounce around but argued the destination remains competitive at different price points.
“We’re not happy with the downturn but the city’s taking steps to address that,” Hill told reporters Friday.
Vegas used to be cheap. Sure doesn’t feel that way anymore.
I’ve heard that Reno basically markets itself as a cheap Las Vegas. How do they compare?
Hardly. Only been to Reno once and some parts were cool but it is definitely not a cheap Vegas unless all you care about is trashy gambling
It’s just sad. Like diaper-at-the-slot-machine sad.
