I know its been front and center...but we all have the right to have an opinion, and I don't think this is going to make one bit of difference...seeing it on tv and making the decision to not to visit las vegas because of it are two different things...the article title ask if we think this will make a difference...I don't...if the total visitors for 2013 is greatly less than 2012 then I guess all the news coverage of the great shootout on the strip in feb. will have had an impact, and I guess I will be wrong...however I think the cost of airfare will have a bigger impact either positive or negative...whats that they say, any press is good press..i guess we will find out jimmi k !

this is not going to affect the average tourist decision to visit las vegas. first of all the average tourist will not even be fully aware of this, most of them will pay little attention to story...sure the hardcore vegas loving tourist who read vegas blogs and vegas newspapers everyday will obsess over it for a week or so, then decide they are such vegas experts that this would never happen to them...the reality is the vegas lovers will not let an isolated incident like this keep them away...vegas is what it is, and its what ever you want it to be...the real victims here are the cab driver and the passenger, as tragic as this is, the odds of this happening again are remote and those are odds that vegas lovers will be willing to take...vegas will always have an element of danger to it...but the magic and allure will always win out...sure a few people may change their plans to visit vegas, maybe...but out of 40 million visitors their absence will not even be a speck to be reckoned with...

they always seem to be able to get the money they need for expansion...
the interest rates they pay are so high that i guess there is always someone willing to take a chance...
the people loaning the money have to be playing with someone elses money...hedge or pension funds...
our country must have people with access to endless amounts of funds...i read recently that Harvard has 30 billion dollars in their endowment fund, this is an example of a business that has to invest some of that money somewhere...and thats just one institution...

i hope they succeed but that is a difficult location in my opinion.

you know someone has a lot of disposable funds to try a concept like that.
