More than one-fourth were retired and 71 percent were at least 40.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThese numbers are not new either, as despite the flashy marketing that includes clubbing, strippers and bachelor parties, most tourists are probably members of AARP. &nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBesides the age of visitors in 2010, another interesting result from the survey revealed less and less people are willing to gamble away their hard earned cash.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSince 2006, the number of people who say they come to Vegas for gambling has dropped by 7 percent. While that still means 80 percent arrive to the desert to drop hard earned money, it&#39;s interesting to see people spending less at the tables.
