"It’s astounding how quickly the fun economy has exploded to a point where now we think it’s about 14% of all the money spent on earth."

- Bo Bernhard, Professor, William F. Harrah, School of Hospitality, says tourism, sports, and entertainment have become one of the largest global economic sectors in modern history, equaling roughly $14 trillion in spending. He argues Las Vegas should increasingly be viewed as a global capital of the “fun economy” because of its leadership in those industries.
