Did you know?

We bet you think you know all the important stats about Las Vegas. Perhaps you are considering a move here, and since you’re smart and on the ball, you’ve done all your research on our fair city and can recite the facts to the natives.
Well, we’d venture to say we have a few stats you may not have researched, but really tell the flavor of not only our history, but also some interesting tidbits on some of our former residents or visitors.


Take a look:


• It would take 288 years for one person to spend one night in every hotel room in Las Vegas.


• Shrimp consumption in Las Vegas is more than 60,000 pounds a day – higher than the rest of the country combined.


• Howard Hughes stayed at the Desert Inn for so long that he was asked to leave. So, he bought the hotel.


• The average Las Vegas household consumes about 230,000 gallons of water a year.

 


• There is one operating slot machine in Las Vegas for every 8 residents.

• The Wynn and the Rio hotels do not have any elevator floors that start with the number 4.

 

This is because the #4 is not lucky in the Chinese culture.


• If you combine the Las Vegas Strip and the downtown area, there are more than 15,000 miles of lighted neon tubing.


• Las Vegas is home to the largest community of Hawaiians outside of Hawaii.
