But for the first time in recent history, the numbers in Las Vegas are down, and depending on who you talk to, anywhere from 9 to 17% down.

Today, the economy of Las Vegas is being driven by two main factors, sports and entertainment, and food.  Peter speaks with Lance Evans - the Senior VP of Sports and Sponsorships at MGM Resorts - for some surprising figures.
