Vegas needs EVERYBODY.
Tourism is down about 50% I hear. :-(
We can’t go for a few months, but we WILL GET THERE.
It sure would be fun to get all the UT FReepers together there, some time.

Vegas will never “suffer” the way other resort cities do. It’s The Place people associate with gambling. Atlantic City is OK, and so is Monte Carlo. But there is only ONE Vegas!
Tourism is not down all that much. The figures say that it is probably off about 13% since this time last year.
Some things have slowed, but whenever jobs close, others open, so the employment rate here is fairly static. It fluctuates about 7% +/- every year, which is not too bad.
Let me know when you plan to come to town!
