We use to go to Vegas 3 to 4 times a year but when they started resort and parking fees we stopped going 4 years ago. Now we go to Laughlin. Vegas picture when we got married 1973

I was sitting at a Vegas bar long time ago and the bartender mentioned "Its changing. Guys buying $300 bottles of champaign just to shake the bottle and spray their friends." That bottle is $700+ now.

Doesn't seem like much but 000 Roulette is a house BFD as is
400% better House Edge with 6/5 Blackjack over 3/2.

The primary growth in the past 10 years is due to two reasons.
1. New employment in the warehouse distribution industry. We now have on the Apex area of NLV, a 1 million square foot warehouse.
2. Expanded live entertainment and sports. It all began with NHL, now NFL, and the Athletics baseball team will arrive in 2-3 years. NBA is ext. This drives good support jobs and a significant tourism industry. More money for locals in wages. No one is hurting here. More houses being build, large warehouse construction with loading docks is non stop.
