Vegas is most famous for its Gambling and luxury like casinos. The surroundings in all the casinos are definitely luxury like, the casinos themselves offer us all the fun we could need. Is this all a bit too much though…. Are the casinos just completely taking over Vegas?
On Monday a new casino called the Sand’s Bethlehem Casino opened up bringing the count of casinos in Las Vegas to 122. This means that there are about 200,000 slot machines in Las Vegas alone. If you think about it, isn’t that quite a lot of slot machines. Somwhere around the large figure of 36 million people visit sunny Vegas every year. People don’t always go to Las Vegas just so they can burn holes in the pockets. People also go to this wondrous place to get married, about 300 Las Vegas weddings are conducted every day.
That’s a lot of gambling and a lot of weddings, the casinos do contribute a large amount of recreational activities. What do we think about 120 casinos is that too much, it might just be the right amount. Vegas has many of the most famous and popular casinos in the world like the Bellagio and Caesars Palace. Vegas gathers a large amount of revenue from these casinos. People are packing in the Florida Villas idea and moving to the gambling nation.
Now that British Airways have set up a direct flight to Las Vegas from Heathrow I am sure that the visiting rates will be increasing as well. Well is stopping the construction of casinos in Vegas the best way to go? Well no we don’t really, its where gambling is, they are going to build more casinos even if we don’t want them to. I am sure that there will be a point when there is not much more reason to create more casinos because the current ones will be bringing in all the business. So at this point in time, the casinos currently occupying Las Vegas, provide us with our gambling needs. Las Vegas holidays will be growing from year to year and so will the amount we spend in the casino.
