Yes, it takes us a leisurely 5 hours; and Sunset Station is on our side of the Vegas Valley.
Paying for self parking is Las Vegas sounds absurd to me.
The fact that the casino owners looked into a train from LA several times and decided not to go ahead with it was a big red flag that should have killed the train to nowhere at the outset.
depends on what you do. Disney is high admission.
Sometime sin befogs I eat and walk around. Sometimes I gamble and go to shows. No general rule, just depends on what you want to do
On the strip, it ain’t cheap.
Poetry!
I think in general as the Trump economy soars we will see costs rise in some areas as more people can now afford to go; Supply and Demand.
Went to Vegas ounce no need too return.
I detest the place.
The days of $4.00 steak dinners and lunch buffets at casinos, coupon books, free chips and free parking. It now seems like a galaxy far, far away.
It’s not Greed. Have we not been taught that “Greed is good.” It is all a result of the Harvard Business School’s teaching. “Sell anything. Sell everything. Sell it now. Maximize profit now. Ignore the future. Oh! and in case I didn’t say it, ignore the future.”
Used to be free not that long ago.
Vegas started out giving free steak dinners to gamblers and then discovered they could over charge for buffets and other such things because when one wants to throw one’s money away, one will not let anything get in the way - they are now just seeing how far they can push the envelope.
Why do you attack anyone that talks the truth about vegas?
Went last summer to see The Who at Ceasars. Only because Mrs rktman had a platinum level players card did it NOT cost us to park in valet. Valet was like $25/day and self parking was like $10/day on the strip. Outside of the strip might have been free.
We stay at the Wynn or the Encore when we go to Vegas. You can get good deals if you subscribe to their internet site and deals. We figured that the extra $$$ was worth it, because we enjoyed our vacation.
You’re right in saying that the strip is not at all walkable. I resorted to keeping my phone to my ear so the barkers would stop harassing us. Even with my woman, the porn peddlers go pushing their advertisements your way.
Pay the extra and enjoy a clean, peaceful hotel.
Oh, yes. Recently they charged for parking. They were one of the later hotels to do that.
One insider might be an idiot. It isn't a small leap of logic to consider a sniper killing people might have caused people to stay home.
