Las Vegas Strip. September.

Whole lot of money down there.

It’s been changing, the city. Some bartender friends of mine are saying the hotel & casino CEO’s & CFO’s are rearranging their business models these days. They say the hotels have prioritized conventions and food and beverage sales higher up and above gaming. They say the comp’s aren’t flying as freely as they did before.

It’s not hard to believe when so many visitors are willing to go in restaurants and pay $100.00 for a steak and the young ones will throw down $60.00 or so for a bucket of 6 iced-down beers at the pool areas. I can’t imagine what the tabs for hotel and food bills are for the companies that have conventions out here.

But it is what it is. All the razzle and dazzle and mini-fortunes are still out there for the lucky ones. It’s not unusual to hear on the local news that someone’s hit a several hundred thousand or million dollar jackpot on a machine at a casino on the Strip.
