How do Las Vegas casinos keep all those shops open without any vacancies?
Mar 24, 2011 by Peter | Posted in Las Vegas
We were in Las Vegas recently and while many malls and shopping centers had many vacancies, I didn't see a single one at any big-time casino. I know this can not be just to the number of people because some stores rarely had people in them. My friend
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

Not sure actually. I was in Vegas recently myself and didn't see many people in the shops. I was in the Stratosphere though and there were many franchise shops there which I presumed the hotel owned and had staff from the hotel working in them.

Questions about renting space in Las Vegas casinos for a small business?
Aug 01, 2009 by Balla1 | Posted in Las Vegas
I am interested in opening a small business in the Las Vegas area. Preferably on the strip and inside of a casino. It would be a small booth area that should only take up about a 5ft x 10ft space on the floor.
I was curious if anyone on
each has different prices. I would suggest you contact the facility manager at the location of your choice and begin discussion.

I will be travelling to Las Vegas and staying at the Luxor.I have never been there, and I am wondering if the casinos offer free shuttle service.If so, is there anything I need to do to ensure this? I have already booked my hotel for November 15th through
No - the Luxor does not offer shuttle service from the airport to the strip, nor do any other strip hotels.
There are shuttle services that run from the airport to the strip hotels, but you do have to pay for them. It's not just tipping

How would I find a buyer for the stores in Las Vegas casinos?
Feb 01, 2007 by searchguru | Posted in Las Vegas
One of our clients sells jewelry that would be perfect for the Las Vegas casino shops. I need to find the buyers or at least a directory of them.
There is no directory of jewelry purchasing managers, which is what you want. Contact the companies directly (you can find store numbers online or in the phone book) and ask for the purchasing manager. Be prepared to send or show samples, have pricing
