LAS VEGAS — The top tourism official in Las Vegas says the city hasn’t priced out regular travelers, even as July visitor counts fell and casinos took in more from gamblers.
Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), said monthly figures can bounce around but argued the destination remains competitive at different price points.
“We’re not happy with the downturn but the city’s taking steps to address that,” Hill told reporters Friday.
Have you heard of family? Yeah, sometimes they need help or are sick in a country that doesn’t provide healthcare and need taking care of.
“Not have a choice” means that no reasonable person could leave their loved ones to rot and die. So they take that risk. It’s “technically” a choice but no one uses that phrase to mean that.
Show some empathy.
Exactly this. People travel back to Russia and Iran and China all the time to take care of family. They don’t want to be in those countries but their family is stuck and they don’t want to see them die slowly, alone.
Family has to visit other family who’ve migrated to other countries all the time. Before now, the US was seen as a country people would very much want to be in, so there’s a lot of people in this situation here now.
