And you see a ton of rental cars, and poor saps loaded up into the RME vans. Heh.
I feel bad for people who live places that require them to pay to make a vacation. Kinda like when I lived in Ohio...

no they don't have to stay in the city, the numbers i posted reflect total vistors, e.g. LA had 58 million visitors but just over 25 million stayed the night.
regarding conventions a huge % of las vegas revenue comes from conventions and yet the town only attracted 6 million convention goers in 2007 (about 15% of total visitors), this despite the fact that 24,000 conventions were held in vegas in 2007 and the town has 10 million sq ft of convention space
