Las Vegas
Where the high-limit room is bigger than most casinos
Vegas is the only major gaming city where the entire city competes for whales. That means leverage. A $5K-session player can negotiate a top-floor suite, daily limo, and dedicated host before placing the first bet. The trick is signaling early.
What Las Vegas costs, in USD
Quoted in the currency the floor quotes. Published ranges — properties move them with season and demand.

The thing locals know that nobody writes down
Land at Henderson Executive (HND), not Harry Reid. Faster customs, no waiting, casinos send a Sprinter direct from the FBO. Saves 90 minutes vs the strip taxi line on a Friday night.
