Rising Prices in Las Vegas: A Tourist’s Perspective
Recent findings reveal that Las Vegas is increasingly viewed as an overpriced destination for visitors. In a survey conducted by Las Vegas Locally, a staggering 87.9% of over 15,000 participants voiced concerns about the affordability of the city for tourists. A mere 6.6% disagreed, while 5.5% remained undecided.
Comments accompanying the poll highlighted that locals also find it challenging to enjoy the iconic Strip anymore. The significant hike in minimum table bets, food, beverage prices, and escalating hotel rates are among the concerns raising eyebrows.
Betano Strengthens Ties with Sporting CP
In exciting news from the sports sponsorship realm, Betano has successfully renewed its partnership with the renowned Portuguese football club Sporting CP. This agreement, lasting four years and set to extend through the 2028-29 season, will see Betano continue as the club’s premium sponsor.
According to Julio Iglesias, Chief Commercial Officer of Kaizen, Betano’s parent company, this collaboration is built on a foundation of mutual respect and vision. The partnership will encompass both the A and B teams, with Betano’s branding prominently featured on player jerseys.
