12/2006: Las Vegas: 'so expensive now.....'
Las Vegas is no longer the cut price destination it once was. Hotels now make more money in food, beverages and shows than they do from gambling and are targeting the top bracket conference market. Many of the old stalwart hotels are being demolished, the legendary Stardust has just closed down and the Aladdin is about to be taken over by Planet Hollywood. Luxury all-suite high-rise towers are going up in their place. Consequently, prices can be quite high. So, unless you are particularly skilled on the roulette table, take plenty of spending money, because Las Vegas is ruthless at parting you from it.
