In the days leading up to last month’s Super Bowl, something curious happened in Las Vegas: The price of a hotel room crashed. In some of the fancier hotels, you could get a room for under $100. In some of the older hotels, you could get a room for under $50.
It was almost as if the Las Vegas of old had returned, the one where you might lose all your money in the casino but at least the parking was free and the buffet was cheap.
Even in a city full of big weekends, Super Bowl weekend traditionally stands out. No one has a definitive answer to what happened this year.
