Unfortunately for Vegas even people that are there for business are tightening up there budgets and there wallets. Many companies that send employees for corporate conventions or seminars are instructing them to limit the spending.

A New Mexican resident in town for a conference, said he had no interest in gambling or spending a ton during his trip. “People need to get back to the idea of living on less than they make, not more than they make,” he said, as he stood with friends outside one of Las Vegas’ attractions, a mall modeled after the forum in ancient Rome. “We’ve become a society that lives on credit. We need to increase our savings.” Its just seems tough to keep up these days.

Since most baby boomers are currently watching their 401K plans dwindle away faster than any spin on a slot machine. Going to Vegas to spend the remainder of what they may have saved for retirement seems to be at the end of their lists if at all.

If you are planning a trip to Vegas the chances are that you are going to spend at least a little money. Most visitors that are there for pleasure still do pack in some nice dinner, a good show and a few go’s at the tables. However, the city is now having to do more than ever to entice visitors their way!
