Websites:

http://www.forbes.com/2004/02/19/cx_cv_0219feat.html - Great website! Forbes lists the BEST casinos in the world and also provides a slide show!

http://www.g4tv.com/techtvvault/features/35689/Casino_Security_Is_Watching.html?detectflash=false& - This website talks about security in the casinos!

 

http://www.insidervlv.com/gamble/index.html What I though was interesting is that this website is dedicated to Las Vegas gamblers, and it even has discounted hotel, airline tickets, and car rentals; not to mention and online website to get familiar with the casino's games before you reach it!

    detitria smith:I just came from Vegas over the weekend. It's amazing to see how much has changed, and how much has stayed the same. There are casinos and lights as far as you can see. The amount of money this place takes in is unreal. As one of the videos stated taxes were being shaved. I'm sure that fact remains today.
