Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the U.S. is having a better comeback than anticipated and that could bode well for South Florida casinos.
CBS 4 spoke with Steve Bourie who wrote the American Casino Guide which outlines everything you need to know about every casino in the country.
“Casinos cater to older customers so they may be a little cautious to return to casinos so it could affect their bottom line,” said Bourie from his Hollywood Florida home.
“But locals are likely to come back sooner than Vegas because you have to take a plane to get there, “ he says

Bourie expects South Florida casinos to offer incentives to bring back customers.

“The casinos will be more aggressive in marketing to offer better benefits to entice players to come back because players may be nervous in an enclosed environment,” he says.
