What else has gambling brought to Las Vegas?

 

 

The first thing that you think of when you think of Las Vegas is gambling but in reality the city has much more to offer and many of these things have come as an offshoot of the gambling industry. Las Vegas only had settlers from 1905 and the population only started to dramatically increase in the 1960’s thanks largely to the ever growing gambling industry. Between 1990 and 2000 the city almost doubled in size as the gambling bug had well and truly taken off and more and more casinos were springing up.

On the Las Vegas Strip there are currently 42 casinos, fourteen out of twenty five of the world’s largest hotels by the number of rooms, several shopping malls, high rise residential properties, restaurants as well as some fantastic show venue that have been played by fantastic artists such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis and Michael Jackson. Some of the best comedians in the world along with the finest magicians have regular shows there meaning that even those who aren’t interested in the gambling have plenty to do.

As Las Vegas has grown it has become one of, if not the most famous boxing city in the world. The MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay Resort are perhaps two of the best known boxing venues that have held some titanic battles over the years. These events generate fantastic revenue but it would not be possible without the huge sums of money that the hotels and casinos pump into the supporting these events. It goes without say that if they had not offered this support, events of this stature would not have been able to take place.

Of course Las Vegas offers plenty of other forms of adult based entertainment that are superbly kept out of sight of families and children. These are once again an offshoot of the gambling industry and although may not be seen as desirable by some, they once again provide revenue and jobs for a great deal of people along with entertaining thousands of visitors in the city each year.

There are lots of things that Las Vegas has perhaps brought to people that they wouldn’t have done had the gambling industry not existed. For instance lots of local companies run day trips from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. Had they not been in Las Vegas, presumably for the gambling they may never have had the opportunity to visit places such as this.

When you consider all the ‘add ons’ that gambling has brought to Las Vegas you can certainly see why cities such as Pattaya would want to follow suit. Whilst gambling is definitely not for everyone, if it is controlled and regulated in party cities such as Las Vegas and Pattaya it is hard to see too many downsides to the local economy.
