The state of Nevada has done several things in the last ten years to increase tourist visitations including the expansion of legalized gambling, the construction of high end stores and entertainment facilities, and an increase in flights to a from airports in the state; however, with the construction of dozens of luxury hotels, Las Vegas has become the central focal point of Nevada’s push towards an increase in tourist money entering the local economy. They do this by offering unique experiences, high end amenities, and luxurious and spacious suites.

By building these hotels the city has not only dramatically increased the available rooms for potential tourists, they have increased the overall experience that these tourists have. These hotels offer more amenities, larger casinos, luxurious suites, and expansive creativity with structure and design. All these elements work together to not only bring more tourists to the city, but to increase the overall financial quality of those tourists. Therefore, not only are more tourists visiting the area, but they are wealthier than typical tourists and spend more money, thus further driving the local economy.

The luxury hotels of Las Vegas have become world famous. Architects, owners, and investors have done everything possible to make every hotel a unique experience from the first step into the lobby. Establishments offer spectacular light and laser shows, phenomenal water fountain displays, and dramatic and impressive architecture. Various hotels boast of incredible recreations of the New York City skyline, the gardens of Babylon, the Great Pyramids of Giza, and spectacular light and water shows that operate on any hourly basis. All of these attractions draw millions of visitors a year that simply want to view these amazing structures. For the average visitor this experience is like visiting five cities in one trip.

With all the luxury hotels, Las Vegas has become a high end amenities mecca. Most of the newly constructed facilities offer so many amenities that they are considered to be all inclusive resorts.  These amenities include five and four star restaurants (more than half a dozen hotels in Las Vegas can boast of two five star restaurants), shops that cater to wealthy clients (clothing stores, jewelry shops, and electronic retailers), and expensive salons, masseuses, and spas. All of these stores and facilities exist because there is a clientele available who is willing to spend the money associated with such services and products. All of this means an increase to the local economy.

All the stores, restaurants, and entertainment in the world will mean nothing if you cannot offer a luxurious place to lay your head. Therefore, all of the new hotels offer incredible accommodations. These accommodations include huge rooms. Some suites rival the size of houses with square footage ranging into the forty-five hundred ranges. Many are two stories with professional kitchens, spacious bathrooms, and expensive imported features. While wealthy tourists spend their money on the strip, in casinos, and at restaurants, they come to Las Vegas because of the high end suites in which they will be sleeping. These rooms are top notch and attract millionaires from all over the world.

Due to these luxury qualities, Las Vegas has not only increased the amount of people that visit the city, but also the financial quality of those visitors, thereby increasing the local economy of the region.
