"Hotel room receipts tracked by the state comptroller show that Lajitas' lodging business is down. In 2006, receipts were $1.8 million, down slightly from $1.9 million the year before. Lajitas generated $471,570 in hotel receipts in the first quarter of this year, down 20.4 percent from the $592,438 generated in the same quarter in 2006 and down still more from the $674,488 for the quarter in 2005, according to the comptroller's figures."
