2) Irrelevant.
3) I beg to disagree. In all my travels through numerous countries, particularly in the last 4-5 years, I have *never* seen a single poster advertising Las Vegas. The most I have seen is the occasional article in a magazine – but never in the form of advertising. These cities include London, Dublin, Barcelona, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Taipei, Seoul, Singapore, Amsterdam, Manila, Bangkok (duh, I live here), Melbourne, Monte Carlo, Montreal, Toronto – and excludes all US cities for which you will obviously find more Vegas advertising. . . .
OK . . Whatever you say . . I’m not going to argue about it.
The point was that you had said .. “The casinos certainly do not advertise worldwide” .. when in actuality, they DO spend a lot of money on International advertising!
. . . and you can call 2) “Irrelevant” if you wish .. but I think he’s a little more in the loop than you may be, since he has been in upper management in the casino industry for 20+ years.
