Since we are arriving in Las Vegas tomorrow to kick off the WPPI conference, I thought of sharing some crazy stats that I found online about the city. Some of them really make you sit back and think…
1. Number of Las Vegas citizens 500,000
2. Year first casino licensed 1931
3. Number of annual Vegas visitors 40,000,000
4. Number of hotel rooms 137,000
5. Number of pillowcases washed at MGM Grand (the hotel & casino that houses WPPI) daily 15,000
6. Annual no. toilet paper rolls used at Bally’s (it’s a 67,000 sq ft. hotel & casino with 2,800 rooms) 1 million
7. Lucky The Clown marquee sign at Circus Circus has 1,232 fluorescent bulbs, 14,498 incandescent bulbs, and 3/4 mile of neon tubing light (no wonder they’re replacing it!)
8. Average number of Vegas weddings per day 300+
9. Cost of Nevada marriage licence $35.00
10. Average cost of filing for divorce $450.00
(Seems getting into marriage is always the easy part, but getting out of it is sticky AND expensive! Its no wonder lawyers are richer than priests.)
