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 sucks but it’s hilarious that Trump is literally bankrupting Vegas

Oh wow, I highly doubt anyone can bankrupt a bunch of casinos.

What sort of imbecile could do that! It's pretty much impossible to bankrupt one casino let alone a bunch of them.

Next you'll be telling me a reality TV 'star' who was best mates with a convicted human trafficking child rapist, who has been taking money from Russia for decades, will be president. Pfft, no population would ever vote that type of person in...TWICE.

Many people are saying that he's the bigliest at bankrupting casinos.

trump was laundering money from russia through his CASINOS. i went to Alanta once in the early 2000s and saw his trump tower.

Well he prototyped the casino failure "business" model in his younger days. It's only logical that he's spreading that acumen around now.

hes actually the final nail in the coffin, there were 3. the first one is vegas greed trying to cater to only rich people pricing "poorer" people out, 2nd is covid, and they are trying to stem the tide with building sports team facilities, hopefully to lure tourists back, and lastly trump has futhured reduced tourism.

but vegas was going to DIe anyways without trump, trump just accelerated it.

People with money can go to a lot of nicer places than Vegas (lie, say, just about anywhere else). Why go there? To see Wayne Newton?
