Gaming executives and a tourism leader disavowed the ongoing “Vegas is dead” debate that’s been percolating in social media and travel blogs for much of the year.
But there is still more to address.
Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority — the agency whose mission is to help fill the market’s 150,000 hotel rooms — said resort operators are still working through the concerns about high prices along the Strip.
“There’s an affordability aspect. There is a sensitivity to what our customers can afford that has been heightened because of the uncertainty,” Hill said during a discussion on the economy at The Nevada Independent’s sixth annual IndyFest conference.
