Vegas used to be fairly cheap because they wanted you to spend money gambling

Cheap buffets are the only reason to go to a casino.

Perhaps the illegal hotel and restaurant employees are staying home from work.

They must be operating under an entirely different model now.

In the old days they gave away everything so that you would leave money at the tables

My two bones are PARKING FEES and RESORT FEES. Put an end to them and I’ll seriously consider going to Vegas again...but not until then.

<< $40 for two coffees and a couple of croissants. >>

I remember paying that much for a room at Caesar’s Palace.

Blaming Trump for Vegas greed? Doesn’t fly with me.

The last couple of times I was there, I never set foot in a casino. I guess they figured that out. Ha Ha.

They turned Vegas into an Adult Disneyland.

Me too in the 1970s and 80s. Last time I was in Vegas was 1995 when you could still get a full breakfast for $1.99.

Vegas is all Demonrat and woke.
Don’t gamble, don’t need to see shows.
Prefer nature spots or a beach.
Vegas bite the hand feeding it and wonders why it fails.
Typical demonrat thinking

Maybe the largest mass shooting in history has something to do with it? Nah, that couldn’t be it, based on the outcome of the investigations…..oh wait…

New resorts on the Strip that's super expensive. Should have kept the old properties but renovated them instead.

One can drive a short distance to gamble now instead of driving or getting into a plane. At least where I am.
