While Dubai is on track to surpass the number of hotel rooms in Las Vegas, a Southern Nevada gaming and hospitality industry analyst who knows the United Arab Emirates landscape well says it shouldn’t become a major competitor as long as Las Vegas continues to invest in its infrastructure.
“As long as Las Vegas stays on its game, nothing will be able to touch the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World,” said Brendan Bussmann, of Las Vegas-based B Global. “However, as we continue to bring new events and customers to the market, we must continue to invest in the infrastructure to support the gaming, sports and hospitality sectors in the destination.”
Bussmann was asked to comment on a report from New York-based Skift, an 11-year-old travel industry news site that reported on recent statistics published by London property consultant Knight Frank.
