Las Vegas foreign exchange transactions could rise

Las Vegas has been highlighted as a great destination for those who want to make the most of foreign exchange trading figures.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) recently made the claim after a survey by Smith Travel Research showed the city has an occupancy rate of 82.7 per cent.

Nationally this figure is just 56.6 per cent, suggesting the region tends to draw more visitors throughout the year than other parts of the US.

Cathy Tull, senior vice president of marketing at LVCVA, stated her belief Brits, who may use the services of foreign exchange firms, enjoy travelling to the city as it offers amenities that suit a range of budgets.

"Las Vegas provides visitors with much needed respite from their day-to-day pressures at values that meet a variety of budgets," she said.

"Its reputation for great value is expanding globally."

In other news, chief executive of British Airways Willie Walsh recently expressed his optimism that the company's new London to Heathrow route will prove popular with UK travellers.
