Las Vegas would be my fourth choice for gaming venue destinations in Nevada. 1) Laughlin 2) Reno 3) Carson City........

Yes, this is good news. I would be particularly interested to see some stats about how this increased revenue is going back into the local economy if such stats do exist.

For the money, there is no better bargain anywhere. You can go to other places like Chicago, New York or New Orleans that are not even 1/2 the fun and they all cost much more than we do. Yes, Mardi Gras is fun but it is only a week long. We have the equal 365 days a year!

I have yet to experience anything in Las Vegas that is even 1/10th of Mardi Gras or Fantasy Fest. There is a reason those festivals are only a few days long -- it would kill people if they were stretched out.

Have you been here for New Years? Find a better one anywhere. No, not even Times Square!

Honest questions get honest answers, Buzz. The significantly lower wages in the other three mean that you can get cheaper meals, more drinks, and better payouts and that equals more fun. back in the 90s, I was told that 85% of Reno business is from the Bay Area. People from the Bay Area are generally more demanding of restaurant quality and I think this has carried over to Reno. Oh, and I forgot South Lake Tahoe, so that would put LV at number 5. I think Reno/Tahoe is a clear winner on natural beauty as well.
I find people to be friendlier in Reno. A lot less of the New Yawk moaning and beechin'. So that is part of it too; I just find the people up there more fun to be around. More amateurs in LV, otherwise a lot of high end places would be empty. I have no desire to spend 300 on dinner at Wolfgang Pucks or any other high end restaurant nor do I wish to spend 175 to see Cher or any other over the hill entertainer.
And those nightclubs are really idiotic. 25 to get in, 10 for a drink, people throwing up, loud music.................I'd rather listen to UNLV football on the AM radio.

I'm asking why khuntrevor thinks Reno, Laughlin, or CARSON CITY???? is better than Las Vegas, I'm not agreeing with him.
