High rollers are not affected by an expense like rising gas prices. Most won’t even see a gas bill, let alone care about what the size of it is. They usually pay a premium to get from one place to another, whether it’s by limo or personal driver. Unless that high roller owns a fleet of trucks, or a heavy machinery company, rising gas prices don’t threaten their bankroll. When you’re betting $10,000 a hand, filling the tank of your car is of little concern.

Las Vegas will still attract big-money players regardless of the economic conditions of the country. Players with wealth are above the everyday economic shifts that occur when commodities fluctuate up and down. The high rollers will have all their travel expenses covered by the casino they’re staying in anyway. That includes flights to town, free rooms, meals, and limos once they get there.
