News, The death of Queen Elizabeth will be the most disruptive event in Britain in the last 70 years. (house, beaches)

[Cruithne]

How is the fact that the Queen will be dead one day 'news'?

Many things. Most if which isn't gambling. The simple point is that tourism is based on many things, none of which includes royal families.

The mayweather fight in may will draw more viewers globally that the amount of tourists Windsor castle will see in 50 years.

Facts are facts. They can be irritating like that.

I asked a question before (#22). Any thoughts?

I'd rather have someone as figurehead who isn't some random family who have privilege for virtually no reason. But I know common sense is rare here.

I'd rather have a PRESIDENT. Again common sense and all that

Las Vegas is a Mecca though to many people. 17 million people visited London in 2013. 39 million visited Las Vegas in 2007 - so is Las Vegas a better city than London? No that's not how it works. The city I love most in the world is Split, Croatia - to me it has FAR more appeal than Vegas. Metro Detroit has 15 million visitors each year. Numbers mean nothing.

Arent presidents treated like royalty though... even after they serve their time in office...

A lot of those tourists are probably American citizens.
