Why it’s kind of California’s fault,” Aug. 4). Though this can be true, the article doesn’t go into different components as to why tourism in Las Vegas has considerably declined.
Earlier than tourism in Vegas decreased, its bills had been already excessive, from quick meals combo meals costing at the very least $30 to cocktails pricing at $25, to not point out the standard value of a lodge room being greater than $160 per night time. With Californians coping with our personal financial struggles, Vegas is simply means too costly to trip to, which is also a significant motive for Vegas tourism declining.

To the editor: Castleman’s article on tourism being down in Las Vegas ought to be a wake-up name to and a possibility for California. We all know that the world is not enamored with President Trump.
However we nonetheless want tourism, so let’s set ourselves other than Trump’s America. All vacationers to California ought to get an across-the-board 10% discount on lodge rooms, meals, ride-share providers and tickets to museums and theme parks. Let’s put the welcome mat out to the world.
