If you've been saving up for a trip to the gambling capital of the world, then you'll need to find somewhere to stay. On the one hand, you might want to treat yourself to a luxurious hotel bang in the center of the Las Vegas Strip.

Luckily, you can find every level of comfort very close to the hub of all the gambling action in Sin City.

Once upon a time, stars of the world of entertainment, song, and dance would perform in the concert halls of major casino resorts as a means of attracting patrons to the gaming tables.

As a result, ticket prices have risen astronomically. To make matters worse, the whole industry is a monopoly.

From the early 2000s, FC Barcelona dominated, not just La Liga, but in international football as well. World famous players like Messi, Xavi, Busquets, David Villa, Iniesta, and Pique ruled the pitch. Then came the era of Pep Guardiola, with the team playing almost perfectly. During the 20010-2011 season, Messi was to score 53 goals in 55 matches. But behind the scenes, Camp Nou was living it large and well beyond their means. As all good things come to an end, Barcelona now faces a tough time.
