Do you think Vegas will be adversely effected by high gas prices?

Question

With the prices of gas skyrocketing and eventually the costs of flying too, do you think people will be less likely to travel to Las Vegas? Would this drive the casinos to make unbelievable low ball offers to visit? Or will it turn into 'If you build it, but the cost of traveling is too high, they will not come'? Comments?

Answer 1

you have got to be kidding me, high petroleum and diesel prices in the USA?? try living in europe where the stuff costs three times the price yet people travel more now than ever, airlines like ryanair cannot keep up with demand.

btw it costs the equivalent of $8.50 for a gallon of gas in the UK and over $9 a gallon in the Netherlands.

Answer 2

Maybe some( less than 10%), because over 50% visitors come from southern california( just look at vehicle licence in the strip)

But southwest still offer $39 ticket from LA, SF to Vegas,and a lot of europeans visit US because US is much cheaper, and some addicts love vegas no matter how expensive, they will come( I know some californians come every week to make money from or whatever).

Answer 3

Nope, it's not that far from any State and the Airlines are running cheap specials to Vegas all the time.

Answer 4

Nope. More people here now than ever. Remember people are coming here to gamble their money ... not save it. Costs just as much or even more to go anywhere else. If it was a kids destination ... maybe ... but adult playground ... no way.

Answer 6
