The hotel casino wants it to look good but yes they have adjusted rent and in some cases the hotel owns the store

These are probably chain stores, where the other locations (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc.) make up for lost revenue at the under performing locations.

Also, Las Vegas gets 100,000 tourists per day… so even if you don’t see people in a store, it could be selling a few $ 10,000 watches each day.

Most shops are dyeing to get in a casino, and anyways, it’s more about the advertisements.

Good question but i’m not sure either! I would think stores, restaurants and other shops connected or inside the casinos that the casinos pick up the tab if the store doesnt meet a certain revenue each month or not pay rent.

People are getting smarter and it has been going on for years now. My hometown mall is the same way. I have no idea how it stays open. The only people that seem to go there is old people to walk around the halls for exercise. And they don’t buy anything but maybe some food.

IN Vegas I am sure people just don’t want to pay 3 times more for a pair of shoes than what they could get at a regular store. Last time I was in Vegas, I didnt look at the prices first, and i ordered a Reuben sandwich, bag of chips a spoonful of potato salad and a coke and it almost cost $ 15.This would have cost about $ 6 at my sandwich shop at home.

Quite honestly, I think this is the beginning of the end of Vegas. There are just too many gambling options in todays world.
