Las Vegas Rides 1990s Tech Boom and Giant Hospitality Growth

Atlantic City visits fall 3 percent after boom years
Atlantic City reports 32.1 million visitors last year, down from 33.1 million in 1988, marking the first decline since gambling was legalized in 1978. Analysts say the dip may reflect a new market cycle and the opening of Las Vegas Mirage casino in November.
