The holiday season is more likely the cause. People are going to spend their money on gifts and holiday expenses rather than travel to Las Vegas. This is the slow time of the year so it shows here first. Come the first of the year and the closer it gets to spring .. questions will start coming again as people put the holidays in the past and start to plan their vacations.
27.51 million visitors for Jan-Sep 2009, while it was 29.61 mllion visitors for Jan-Sep 2007 (2 years ago).That is a drop of 7%. I wouldn t think that you would see that drop reflected in Yahoo Answers.============The economic crash in Las Vegas, is not that there are that many fewer people, but they are spending far less for rooms, on gambling, and on food and drink. There are many fewer conventions are more tourists. Plus there is an additional 7500 casino rooms in the city in the last two years and City Center and Golden Nugget will bring another 6000 rooms in a few weeks.============Nevada has the greatest concentration of hotel rooms per person on the planet. NV has 2.6m people and 187.3K hotel rooms whileNY has 19.5m people and 191.0K hotel rooms.
well there are dozens a day about travelling to NYC and NY is WAY more expensive than vegas...so I dont think it reflects anything about the economic timebtw, I just counted close to 30 questions posted in the Las vegas section in the last 15 hours so I mwould say vegas is still getting a fair share of questions
NO. Sometimes people just do not go to chatrooms. I live here and it is busy. Lots of things happening. Also, people know what they are doing and no need to ask quesitonss at time. Same in sports, commerce, politics. A question not gague an economy.
Could be. Perhaps people are going to do an at home holiday this year. Of course that is good news for people wanting to head out to Sin City because the hotels are offering great discounts. If I had the cash I would be Vegas bound next week.
I don t know, because Vegas, if you do right and have AAA, can be a very cheap place to go on vacation, if not the cheapest place I have ever been on vacation in the US.
Well, it is sort of the off season. But I have noticed that the questions are much more geared to people looking for bargains and freebies. *
There are lots of questions about Vegas! More than usual because people are looking for that great deal and Vegas has loads of them.
I don t think it s accurate to say there are few questions in this category. Other cities of the same size have far fewer questions.
