They’re trying to blame this tourist slump on Trump and not their $80 pizzas, which you can’t even reheat because they took all the microwaves out of the rooms (unless you rent one).
My daughter, SIL, and two friends were in LV a few years ago. Absolutely hated being there because you can’t even walk down the street without getting stoned. Worse inside casinos, even their hotel lobby.
I’m surprised they didn’t squeeze climate change into the article
Trump is a good person to blame—he is blamed or all bad things from the death of Jesus to the Black Death plague. BUT, the real reason is the rip off prices. Time to go back to the things that worked in the past. Big shows, good cheap food and rooms and lots of gambling. My advise for Vegas: for what its worth.
1. High speed train from LA to Vegas—get people here fast.
2. Big named acts and shows—maybe plays from Broadway. Get Taylor Swift and more country stars.
3.Lower drinking age and gambling to 19. There money is good.
4. Bring in a fancy legal brothel, for all sexes with shows and good food and lots of sex. OR run high speed train to big brothels like the old chicken ranch to carry patrons, men and women and Gays to the girls.
5. Put is a good classic Burlesque Theater—the whole thing, strippers, baggy pants comedians, black-outs, and chorus girls. “If the shoe fits, take it off.”
6. Peta has banned circus acts—So bring in Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Baily. Lions, Tigers, Elephants, clowns trapeese artists high wire acts , magic acts—even a freak show.
7. Special Museum shows—but more like P.T. Barnum’s museum.
Subjects: “Proof Hitler escaped Berlin>” “Proof Life on Mars!” “The Haunted White House.” “Bigfoot, the whole shocking story.” “The museum of torture—least it happen again!”
8. A TV show centered in Vegas—Hawaii Five-O did a lot for Hawaiian tourism —a detective show with a Vegas focus could do well with public.
9. Fund the coning of a woolly Mammoth or other extinct animals. Exhibit them in a special zoo of the unknown. People would pay to see this.
10. Develop a unique Las Vegas fast food—a Vegas Burger that would be unique and tasty. Only in Las Vegas.
Yep. its totally ridiculous the fees and ways they make you feel NOT welcome.
