Why Las Vegas?
We all know masochism and casino gambling go hand in hand.
It’s like asking “Why Las Vegas over Mesquite?”
Yeah, but as land values rise hundreds of those South Lake Tahoe nudists are forced to move.Quote: AyecarumbaIf I am in Reno, it means I am passing through on my way to Lake Tahoe. There are more attractive things nearby.
Seriously, casinos are everywhere now and there is no need for long flights, airport lines and indignities, etc. just because better casinos can be available, local is "good enough". People still dream of Vegas, know that a 'better deal' is available in Reno but if they can get to a nearby casino in twenty minutes, why aim for the ultimate?
I guess life just isn't fair.

For people who have no idea of the value of the plays, staying and playing the local tribal casino may be a wash. If their money doesn't last very long, it's not twice the fun.
Oh ghad, I'm going to agree with MWM!!!Quote: WatchMeWinSimply put... The reason is because Vegas is ...well, IT'S VEGAS BABY!!
In essence, vegas has grown bigger than just a place to gamble. There's an electric feeling in the air (for tourists) with all of the massive hotels and casinos, all of the glitz and glamour, and it's just something you don't get in other gambling venues that offer more value but are smaller and less attractive. There's something about knowing you're in a town with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of other visitors all looking to have fun and a good time.
Another words... It's Vegas, baby!
Quote: billryanI'm still trying to understand why the paradise on the River known as Laughlin attracts roughly one percent of the number of visitors Vegas does.
It could be because the casinos are really hospice facilities in disguise.

The new tag line for Vegas, or AC should be ... ' Welcome to Vegas/AC, All Vices Accepted!'
