I have to take exception to this. The casinos certainly do not advertise worldwide . .
OH YES they most certainly do ! !
1) I worked in the casino industry for several years.
2) My ex-husband is a casino executive at one of the casinos.
3) I have done a lot of traveling and there are GIANT 6 foot tall posters advertising Las Vegas in most major cities throughout the world.
In the European countries everyone is VERY aware of Las Vegas. They always have all kinds of questions about various casinos (which they know by name).
Travel agencies over there are FILLED with travel books and brochures regarding vacationing in Las Vegas. It is a very popular vacation destination for people from all over the world.
