Why do these unfunny jokes about pizza persist. I thought Scott was banning people for this ridiculousness. Are pizza jokes back on the table?

Or source the 150 people you know who have been to Vegas.

6. I also am surprised more than 10 percent of people use a travel agent. I know a few still exist, but I assume they exist mostly for the wealthy who don’t want to be bothered with constant Orbitz searches and corporations who need somebody to book flights and hotels for the well scrubbed execs that treat the working stiffs like dirt.

8. Yeah, it seems hard to believe visits to downtown, whatever teh circumstances, could jump that much in one year.

12. How do they define tour group? No way 20 percent of visitors are with tour groups.

19. 52 percent still seems impressive to me. What defines a show. Are we counting a celebrity DJ? If wallet raping counts as a show, then 52 percent seems plausible.

I’m sure they work hard to make this a statistically legitimate survey. Good thing for the LVCVA they don’t have to sell it to me. I’m not buying.

This. I’ve never stayed downtown because I need an easy ride to the LVCC. But I like to play down there because the strip hotels have become so stingy.
Trying the Strat on the next trip so I don’t have to pay to park.

Las Vegas has lots of business travelers for conventions and meetings. Large companies often use corporate travel agents. Also, tour groups are often run through travel agencies.
Those two plus the international guests you mention are the likely source of the 13%.
