You, misunderstand. I like Vegas, even considered moving there. I get there less now than previous. I live in Reno now. No comparison. But, all that said, the “resort fees” and now parking fees are so over the top, so off putting, it undermines the enjoyment when they clean you out before you even get to the tables.
Maybe I’m blind. I live about 100 miles away and go for a few nights every other month.
You probably have other priorities than to ogle them. I'm old but appreciate beauty; however, these women are not angels but skanky, and I don't look at them at all. One of my sisters lives in Las Vegas; I don't know how she can stand living there. For me, it's enough to visit once a year for a few days and I'm done.
To each his own. A free society does have some wrinkles .
No, last time we went to Vegas was to see a NASCARrace at the speedway...Vegas is not family friendly...
It was a few years ago, but I have walked the strip from the airport to Circus Circus. It was odd having to cross the street to continue walking the same direction.

I totally agree. To take a family of say 4 to Disneyland, someone is going to have to cough up with about $700++ bucks, not including hotels, travel etc.
This is for a day at a stinking amusement park? Way over my head too!
I think Obama’s war on Vegas had something to do with it.
A detractor is the smoking, which many States have already outlawed but Nevada has not. I think casinos need smoke-free rooms and gambling areas, but they should not ban all smoking. There are just too many visitors that smoke to ban smoking.
Costs. It can be cheap to buy an airline ticket and get a room, but food and other costs can be very high. I booked a Vegas vacation that had helicopter flights, Grand Canyon tours, and shows, all for $4,000. That was a very good deal and wroth every penny, but without spending the time to get those prices the costs could have been in excess of $10,000.
“Are you guys whales? How do you get free room, unless you are in some special category of visitors?”
Just put down $10,000 and the suites are free.
