Las Vegas - then and now

When I was younger, I went to Vegas, where my father lived there.

In the seventies and eighties, Las Vegas is much, much smaller. From an airplane seemed a very small round lights in the middle of the desert black. There was more dirt than hotels on the Strip.

The hotels were much smaller and lower than today. But the real difference was not the size or splendor, was the way Vegas was carried out, and as guests werebe treated.

In those days no one really interested in the family, the hotel-casino is running. All the public really mattered was how they were treated and how much fun they had.

So here's my take from Las Vegas: Then & Now.

THEN:
The bell captains, pit bosses, casino cribs made a lot of juice not only the hotel but also the city. Could you host, most of what is needed or wanted ... for a price. The price could be a signFindings of the client or the person with the juice to be just to keep you as a customer by sending them one, given the benefit. If a customer wanted a better place in a showroom, he simply handed the Matre'd a sign, and had taken care of.

The Italians, the "class", a word very much. It 'was a very powerful word. E 'was used to show respect and a way of treating people. E 'was also used to describe someone as a slob, since no class.

In those days players were approached, usuallyfrom someone named Tony, you know that your drink, food, or perhaps the entire stay has been left "us", meaning, the hotel has been picking up the tab until you've taken your game.

I had an uncle who was a pretty big player on the back of the Sand Hotel in the seventies. Usually picked up the phone and within an hour, the hotel business jet waiting to take him to the city, day or night 24 / 7. In his room was a caricature of his cigarettes, his favorite scotch, four Bathrobeswith his initials on them. The box of matches had his initials. And a dining table in the middle of the high-roller suite, a very large bowl half full of ice. The other half was full of shrimp, crabs and lobsters. He had a butler 24 hours a day and got the keys to the city, he could always eat restaurant meant to see every show that all the hotels.

In those days, the casinos were smaller, but it was not just the surface, was the way the casinos were built. They werevery player friendly, inviting. There was always a lounge singer with a jazz and soul accompanied by piano and bass. There was also a sense of security. Crime in a hotel was virtually unknown in those days. It was too risky for anyone who attempts a crime against a hotel without the feeling it was only a matter of time before things would be to set the record straight, without the help of the police.

I could go on, but the bottom line was that once your name Tony knew he could not forgetThem. I guess you could say that there are few other places that it would be like there was something special, someone with class.
Hotel revenue from gambling was to come for the most part. Things like food, shelter, drink and entertainment were set as gifts, such as the cost of doing business in the foreground.

And then something happened very busy, Italian is allowed to buy large Corporation in Las Vegas ...

NOW:
In Las Vegas there are two possibilitiesCorporation were in possession, whether by an individual or by the shareholders. The unions have always been influenced by society.

Quickly, everything changed with only:

In the old days, hotels were re-modeled. With society, and were imploded as a new destination resort hotel, casino built. a reinvention of Las Vegas. suddenly, this was all a target for revenue: the food, including breakfast, rooms, shows and even space for leaseShopping centers. Also targeted for revenue were groups of people, 20, 30, 50 and 60.

Of course, countries, China, Chinese New Year, Cinco de Mayo and Mexico. crazy boxing, rodeo, concert-event crowds. All of a sudden quarterly returns and stock prices has taken on the revenue and subtract the "family" is used to make. No longer were the Tony show Las Vegas. It was Wall Street. The search for the player with the help of guests and leaders is now replaced byCard Players Club

If a client wants to be pursued, and then later appreciated for specific compositions or have to use the electronic card of the club player. Players are also the values by hand, how much and how long they need to play to get the picture. Some players club card you can also cash back rewards.

Las Vegas is not that sex is no longer on gambling, the party ... And 'yet, but in a different environment. As I said in my book,The atmosphere is different, but the air is the same. "
