Las Vegas saw a 12% decline in visitors compared to a year ago, hosting about 3.1 million people, according to LVCVA data.

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.

    I mean the guys already managed to bankrupt a casino in the past, so he’s just added the challenge of trying to bankrupt the whole consortium now!

      Back in 2015, Warren Buffett was being interviewed by CNBC about the possibility of a Donald Trump win.

      He kind of laughed at that notion, and the interviewer said “Why are you laughing? He’s a businessman like you”

      Warren Buffett goes: “Every business he’s ever had, he’s run into the ground”

      Then the reporter says: “Well, he’s currently leading the polls and slated to win”

      I remember Buffett just kind of leaning back in silence, realizing what he said, understanding that the business Donald Trump “would be running” was the United States.
