Disneyland around the world is getting 10 to 12 million. Vegas can get 30 million, but much of it is pass thru. The large consumer electronics show gets a guarter million. Large numbers, it takes 5,000 bus trips to fill the CES convention (50 * 5,000 )
The transportation logistics means long lines of buses along the strip, dumping hoards of visitors per convention. In the age of bus ultra high speed transit, one protected lane on I-15 could move 20,000 passengers per hour. Bringing in 100,000 LA visitors for a weekend convention would be a comfortable for the passenger at 4 hours, one way, in a superbus.
Smart phones and social networking make conventions, large and small, limited to transportation efficiency, trip time * trip volume. Vegas, the center of this network, opens a great many venues from entertainment to technology; based on the web's ability to self select specialized groups.
So you see, promoting very high performance, robotic toll lanes through the Pacific is to the very great advantage of a visitor town like Vegas.
