* Building new projects keep people coming back to see what
is all the excitement is about, so I think Vegas will not over build.

* Well im sure that lots
over people would say that it is being "over built", however what one
thinks is over built other may think its not. Decline in popularity? I
think not. I mean I know that NBA All star game is going on in Vegas
(which could have been elsewhere) but still try to get a room in Vegas
for anytime near that wkend and there are not many left (except the
really high priced ones) so not only are thereppl who want to go to the
NBA there are ppl who want to Do Vegas Baby! Dolores Vigil

* vegas is vegas..........enough
said, when you want to get away, vegas is it. it will never decline. we
drive up a couple times a year from scottsdale. just to see the new
stuff, golf, eat, and shows. change is good but the old vegas is still
there and will never leave. people come to vegas to escape and always
will. Dennis Devries Scottsdale AZ
* I dont think it is
being over built. Ive only been to Vegas a few times... But I am
addicted.. Its magical , the lights and atmosphere makes us feel like a
child at disney world.. I look forward to new editions, it makes for
different things to experience when I visit, every time I come back,
there is something new for me to explore. We all know it takes a few
trips just to experience what is already there. I will be back 1/29/07
thru 2/1/07 I will be looking for Elvis this trip... Cheryl

* No I would not. I couldn't
win in the other big casinos and haven't seen a lot of people win
either. They have to make a lot of money to pay for these renovations
and you can see the low rollers being pushed out of Vegas. When I first
started going out there you could expect to have some fun and lose a
little money. You seemed to have a lot better chance to at least break
even. Now the machines are much more expensive to play and returns have
dropped drastically. Someone has to pay. woody smith

* To touch, feel,& taste Las Vegas
is the reason there will always be a exceptional interest in Las Vegas.
It will never decline in popularity. Lynne Trachtenberg

* More entertainment and
lodging opportunities brings competition for my dollar. For the 42
Million people flying through McKerran, this is a very good thing. No
Indian casino offers the spectacle of the Strip. Vegas has to stay
Bigger, Better, More, or it will eventually die. Anyone building a $2B
casino does a thorough market analysis, they Know it will pay. Just add
Water and Electricity. Remember when 4000 rooms (Excalibur) was a big
hotel? Don Bartley Portland, OR
* Not/ how much money does
an average person spend in Vegas. Seems to me that the average person
will stay in a more afordable hotel/casino. Why/ High rollers like
the bigger casinos. How often do you see a high roller in a smaller
casino. They are usually flashy. Me I am a below average person
but I try to get to Vegas every March for the races and stay at the
cheapest hotel we can get. Cynthia Corbin Blaine, MN
* I'm writing as a high
school economics teacher in Ontario, Canada. I will be visiting Vegas
for the 3rd time this August. With respect to your question, these
multi-billion dollar casinos would not be built if there was not demand
for them. In fact, new studies suggest that aging baby boomers in North
America are increasingly looking to enjoy themselves while they still
can, and thinking less about the future and what they may be leaving
behind for others. I know of no better place to do this! Mike

* Build It and they will
come Las Vegas proves that, Just look at Las Vegas. Bob Miller

* Las Vegas is all about
big, extravagant, tacky, lights, people watching & gambling. I say the
more and bigger, the better. I never get tired of the old but so look
forward to seeing the latest, newest thing to pop up on the horizon. I
am going in April and can't wait to see The Wynn. Last time I was there,
The Wynn had just opened and I couldn't get near it and didn't have time
to wait it out! Deborah Cox Charlotte, NC
* I believe that there is
room for more casinos, but when you bring in too many condo's you are
taking away from people that come on vacations. I found the price of the
Flamingo has tripled from last year on the same week I wanted to stay.
This puts me out of the picture - I'd rather gamble than spend a lot for
a hotel room I'm hardly in and I think a lot of people would agree.
