Tourism to Las Vegas fell by 7.5% last year. The decline was reported by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). Rick Harrison, star of the reality TV show "Pawn Stars," says high prices are to blame. He owns the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop featured on the program. Harrison calls Las Vegas the "greatest city in the world." But he warns that its "pricing problem" is scaring tourists away. He argues more casinos must lower their costs. The goal is to keep the city attractive to visitors. Harrison believes affordable prices are key for its future success.
