ReplyDeleteIt is nice to get an endorsement from a Vegas resident. Las Vegas tries to be bigger and better than anywhere else.
DeleteHi Kevin. What a fantastic list of records. The "17 of the 20 biggest hotels in the United States are in Las Vegas" one is just incredible - it really helps to paint the scene for somebody that has never been to Vegas. I have to confess to being a little disappointed that there was nothing related to poker :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a poker player, but I believe they have the world series of poker in Las Vegas, which is a very big deal.
