LAST YEAR the Casinos in Vegas won $6 billion from players (that’s up 13.1 percent from 2004).
THAT AND the money generated from rooms, conventions, restaurants and attractions are driving the $25 billion in capital that is currently fueling the economic growth on the most expensive piece of real estate in the world - the Las Vegas Strip.
RIGHT NOW there are 135,000 rooms on the Strip, and that’s expected to increase to 175,000 rooms by the end of the decade.
LAS VEGAS is the only U.S. city with three convention centers that measure more than 1 million square feet (and there’s more on the way).
