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 is so cooked.
Another thing harming tourism is the heat for sure. Very regularly over 110f in the summer and there is no shade at all on the strip. The actual concrete temp is easily hitting 120f.
Not to mention the city actually smells OF (not like) human shit. The sewers were never built to handle this many people and it’s not a problem anyone is willing to address or acknowledge.
i heard most of the hotels is stuck in the 90s, so im not surprised. CSI glorified the hell out LV.
