I imagine you would see something similar to shows in Anaheim. People would be drawn to the casinos (like they are drawn to Disney Land), and sales wouldn't be as good as they would be in a place where the major attraction is the show.

This problem has been building for many years. It seems like Tucson does all it can to sabotage the show. Raising hotel taxes, making parking difficult (and expensive), picking the slowest contractors to do the improvements, etc. I'd hate to see the show leave, but the city council leaves much to be desired. This places is very business hostile. Hopefully this will encourage the city to take the show's concerns more seriously. But you never know with this place...
