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.

    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.
