* I think the old Vegas was a better deal, less crowded and
more fun. So let the big events stay somewhere else.

* I'm not really very fond
of the big time special events listed above, but still think they are
good for Vegas. Isn't that what Vegas is all about? And accommodation?
Look at Vegas. Is that a city or a huge construction? Gorazd

* A Plan. Every facility needs to
have a plan that considers the ebb and flow of the number of clients
served on a given week. Events requiring hotels, restaurants, and law
enforcement to step up and staff up should get them in on the event
planning. The overused term "stakeholder" applies, the city and the
businesses have a stake in assuring the customers all have a pleasant
experience. That includes air facilities, taxis and shuttles, front
desk, and shows. It only gets bigger. Don Bartley

* We got stuck there when the Grand
Prix was running. We weren't aware of this race and it totally ruined
our vacation. I believe these events should be held outside the Strip
where traffic will not be a problem. Most people who come to Las Vegas
are not there for these events and should not be subjected to all the
restrictions they cause. Donna Wallman Maineville, OH
* Yes it is a good thing. That what
Las Vegas is. The fact that the city has enough hotel rooms to be able
to hold these events is what make it that much better than any other
city in the world. These rooms are first class rooms not cruise ships
brought in for the event. The best thing the NFL could ever do would be
to hold the Super Bowl in Las Vegas each year. What city is better
equiped to handle this event? It could be a two week extraviganzer to
which there would be no equal. Normand Lemay Pawtucket,
RI
* It is great that they keep adding
these big events. I think that it would be great if Las Vegas had an
underground train that went under the strip and to downtown. Donna
Dollner Stockbridge, GA
* Large events is the economic life
of the city, without all the people those billion dollar casinos might
not get built and or stay open. Denise C. KY
* I dont like coming to Vegas when
there are huge events, room prices are higher and the congestion is
massive. Susan Hanson
* Conventions are the economic heart
of a city, unfortunately it does make congestion and crowded hotel
rooms, thus driving up prices.... but if it were not for these
conventions and big events billion dollar casinos would or could not be
built. Dwight M. OH
* Las Vegas is always crowded so it
might be a good idea to hold these events off-season--any time other
than summer months or any location outside the strip. Edith from San
Jose, CA
