During an April 2008 trip to Europe, I saw a lot of TV ads promoting Las Vegas. The result was that when I talked with people on the street about places they would like to visit in America, an overwhelming number said "Las Vegas." The city is one of the top 5 or so of places Europeans traditionally like to visit. I feel advertising overseas is a smart thing to do as a holiday in America is a bargain to euro-toting Europeans.
I am a tourism writer and consultant and was over there promoting small towns to European travel writers and along the way talked with the locals.
