The High Price of America's Gambling Addiction
6:30AM 7/22/2011
The severity of America's gambling addiction isn't too far behind the nation's drug problem, and it's growing. In 2007, Americans lost more than $92 billion gambling, almost 10 times more than what U.S. moviegoers spent on tickets -- and about nine times what they lost 15 years earlier.
Compare and Contrast: Landing the Best Spring Break Airfares Online
10:00AM 3/08/2011
It's time to celebrate, kids. For many of you, spring break is just around the corner. Great news, unless you were so busy with school (or partying) that you didn't make plans.
But so long as you have a bit of cash saved up, you actually can get away for spring break. Expedia, Travelocity and...
Singapore is expected to overtake South Korea and Australia this year to become the second-largest Asia-Pacific casino market behind reigning leader Macau. For U.S. investors looking to profit, Las Vegas Sands looks nicely positioned.

Faded, baby: Las Vegas not doing enough to woo back tourists
4:00PM 11/29/2009
Leaving Las Vegas after a three day stay has me wondering if Tinsel Town has lost a bit of its glamor. Yes, the strip is still full of lights and mammoth hotels, but it looks tired and in many ways, outdated. It starts when you enter the airport and are bombarded with billboards announcing the...
It's still Vegas, baby, but Sin City wants you to know it's serious about business, too
9:00AM 3/16/2009
Las Vegas, where "What happens here stays here," is trying to market itself as a serious destination as more companies -- such as banks receiving federal bailouts -- have canceled meetings and conventions.
A full-page ad in a back page of the March 23 and 30 BusinessWeek magazine describes how a...
Consumer Complaints: A disappointing stay at the Wynn
4:30PM 12/23/2008
There are certain things in life for which "you get what you pay for." In my opinion, hotels in Las Vegas definitely fall in that category. I like staying at nice hotels, and I usually feel the extra money is worth it. But not at the Wynn Las Vegas a few weeks ago.Earlier in the year, I stayed at...
Where can the downturn work to your advantage? It's Vegas, baby!
2:30PM 9/03/2008
What happens in Vegas may stay there, but these days, the problem is how to get there in the first place. McCarran Airport, Vegas' major entry point, reported its biggest year-on-year drop since after 9/11. And Southwest Airlines, the rare profitable airline which recently said it wouldn't need to...
Las Vegas slowdown: prostitutes taking it hard as Johns slow down
11:30AM 6/16/2008
Last month I wrote about the slowdown in Las Vegas: the city has among the most hard-hit real estate markets in the country, and traffic is down as Americans travel less as they cope with high gas prices. Vacancies are up and room rates have fallen by more than 20%.And yes, the city's brothels are...
