Krewella among DJs competing for clubbers

I will go on a limb now in suggesting the nightclub market in Vegas is oversaturated.

That doesn’t mean clubs should shut down. Most clubs are making huge bucks. And even a crappy club here or there will serve a purpose as a loss leader in a hotel (to get clubbers to go to a casino).

But a few brand-name DJs are not pulling in the crowds they did last year, because of the crazy amount of DJ/club competition they are facing in 2013.

Two good things about oversaturation: 1) It keeps people employed. 2) It serves the consumer, since you certainly have your pick of DJ-producers to go see.
