With almost 200,000 slot machines in Vegas, does Las Vegas need more casinos?

Vegas is most famous for its Gambling and luxury like casinos. The surroundings in all the casinos are definitely luxury like, the casinos themselves offer us all the fun we could need. Is this all a bit too much though…. Are the casinos just completely taking over Vegas?

On Monday a new casino called the Sand’s Bethlehem Casino opened up bringing the count of casinos in Las Vegas to 122. This means that there are about 200,000 slot machines in Las Vegas alone. This seems to be quite a high number of machines. About 36 million people visit Las Vegas from all around the world every year. People don’t always go to Las Vegas just so they can burn holes in the pockets. People also go to this wondrous place to get married, about 300 Las Vegas weddings are conducted every day.

That’s a lot of gambling and a lot of weddings, the casinos do contribute a large amount of recreational activities. What do we think about 120 casinos is that too much, it might just be the right amount. The Bellagio and Caesers Palace are but a couple of Las Vegas most famous and popular casinos. All of these casinos bring the most amount of money into Las Vegas community. People are packing in the Florida Villas idea and moving to the gambling nation.

Now that British Airways have set up a direct flight to Las Vegas from Heathrow I am sure that the visiting rates will be increasing as well. So do we want to stop casino “production” in Las Vegas? No we don’t, it is the capital of gambling, of course they are going to be building more and more casinos. At some point in the future there won’t be any need for trhe construction on more casinos because there will be enough throughout Vegas. So at this point in time, the casinos currently occupying Las Vegas, provide us with our gambling needs. Las Vegas holidays will be growing from year to year and so will the amount we spend in the casino.
