A Positive Outlook – When It Comes to Conventions, Las Vegas is Serious Business
One of the driving forces of southern Nevada’s economic rebound in recent years has been the record-setting pace of Las Vegas visitation, which last year peaked at 42.9 million. While the majority of visitors come to Las Vegas to enjoy eating, shopping, dancing, gambling and partaking in the wide array of amenities the destination offers, for millions of people the primary reason for visiting Las Vegas is to do business. Last year, a record 6.3 million visitors traveled to southern Nevada for conventions, trade shows and other business gatherings to make connections, show off new products and close deals. The recovery of the convention visitor segment is welcome news considering the dramatic drop experienced during the economic crisis. The convention recovery is even more notable for its role in driving overall visitation into record territory over the past two years. Since January 2015, overall visitation has grown by 1.7 million; convention visitors made up 1.2 million of that … [Read more...] about A Positive Outlook – When It Comes to Conventions, Las Vegas is Serious Business

His face contorts like he’s teething.The self-proclaimed Lost Baby of Las Vegas relies on the kindness of strangers, making goo-goo eyes at passing tourists hoping they’ll fork over a few bucks to have their photo taken with a bit of Sin City outrageousness. He brandishes a $1 bill like a sour pacifier.“This,” he sighs, cigarette in hand, “is five hours' work.”But the night is still young on the downtown drag that could be known as the Fremont Street freak show, a rogue’s gallery of in-your-face provocateurs whose exhibitionism rivals the raciest show on the Strip, or worst of casually dressed Walmart shopping.Imagine a collection of out-of-work Far … [Read more...] about Anything goes with Las Vegas street performers — and that’s the problem
