Today is a big day in Las Vegas: 7/7/07 falls in the middle of the busy tourist season (why everyone comes here when it’s hottest is beyond me) and also during the summer wedding season. Local casinos and hotels are gearing up for lots of nuptials and special entertainment on this auspicious day. The big resorts have been booked for a while with many couples looking to tie the knot today.
There are also lots of promotions designed to lure superstitious gamblers into the casinos. Vegas.com has a comprehensive run-down of all the festivities going on around town.
Next year, 8/8/08 will be an even bigger day for most East Asians out there. The number “8″ is considered good luck because it sounds like the word for “fortune” or “prosperity” in Chinese.
