For many cities, the construction of a major casino resort is the ultimate catalyst for a massive tourism boom.

When integrated properly, these massive entertainment hubs can completely transform the global standing of a sleepy city.

The Las Vegas Model: Creating a Destination

Las Vegas proved that if you build massive, luxurious gambling palaces, tourists will travel thousands of miles to visit.

Today, gambling represents less than half of the total revenue generated on the Las Vegas Strip.

• Massive sporting events, like Formula 1 and the Super Bowl, have further cemented the city as a global entertainment capital
• The sheer concentration of luxury hotel rooms allows the city to host millions of international visitors simultaneously
• Non-gaming amenities are heavily subsidized by the casino floor, making luxury experiences surprisingly affordable for tourists

The Rise of the Integrated Resort Model

Governments in Asia are incredibly strict, allowing gambling only if the developer builds massive public tourist attractions alongside the casino.

This model prevents the creation of seedy gambling dens and instead creates incredibly prestigious, globally recognized landmarks.

The symbiotic relationship between gambling and tourism will only continue to grow as resorts become larger and more spectacular.
