Three Downtown Las Vegas casinos are aiming to attract more Canadian tourists with a special offer. Circa, The D, and Golden Gate are giving Canadian dollars a one-to-one value for gaming, hotel, and drink purchases through the end of August, ignoring the current exchange rate.
Canadian visitors, who usually face an unfavorable exchange rate, can now spend without worrying about conversions. With $1 USD currently equal to $1.38 CAD, the “At Par” promotion, reported by News 3 Las Vegas, gives Canadian dollars equal value for gaming, hotel, and drink purchases—an incentive the casinos hope will encourage more Canadian tourists.
Las Vegas welcomes Canadian visitors as the city looks to bring back tourists who miss the neon lights, slot machines, and excitement of live table games, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "Las Vegas misses Canada": the sentiment driving the promotion is one both sides of the border are likely to welcome. While Canadians enjoy more value for their money, Vegas benefits from a group known for lively spending habits. A spokesperson, quoted by News 3 Las Vegas, said the goal is to provide "an immediate financial advantage and alleviate conversion stress" for visitors from the land of maple and hockey, though it also proves to be good business.
