I bet a lot of these Brits got suckered at buying stuff at the way overpriced shops at the casino malls.

Just came back from a conference at the Pallazo. Monster hotel with multiple mall areas and over 70 restaurants; all very high end.

Glitzy, overdone, overpriced but the number of chinese, japanese and other tourist groups coming and going with their flag bearer at the front of the group is amazing.

Got out of there with my ass and wallet intact, mostly because I was down with bronchitis during that week.

Any glamorous vacation destination can intoxicate a tourist and tempt them to overspend. Its not the destination’s fault. Its an issue of willpower and maturity.

In a separate poll...

The majority of muslims agree that, within 20 years, Great Britain will have completely fallen to the expanding ISIS Caliphate.

People can have a very affordable vacation in Las Vegas.

Well, duh... It’s kinda the whole point. But if you have any amount of self control before whipping that roll of hundred dollar bills it’s possible to have probably more fun, food and frivolity per dollar spent in Vegas than in many other places.

While traveling out west with the wife and her sister and bro-in-law from Britain, we stayed three days in Las Vegas. But we split up so both couples did separate things. When we rejoined after three days, my in-laws said they had a great time. I never did ask them how much gambling they did. When my wife and I have visited, we’ve usually avoided gambling much.

Hardly. NYC is far most costly. $50 cab ride from the airport in NYC vs $5 or so in Vegas.

Cheap hotel rooms, flights, and meals too.

Someone must’ve written their gambling losses off as “business expenses” and padded out the account.
