Understood. I’m not against family stuff, and there are still things families can do and have fun there, but it is not there for the frugal family, for sure. But they shouldn’t be complaining about the cost of Casino attractions.

They bet on increased family business, but they (casinos) bet wrong. They won’t make their nut on food courts, arcade rooms and buffets like that.

I took my 28 year old daughter (mother of three girls) who I’d promised to do so. I spent so much money on her with spas and saunas and what nots, I think could have bought a car. While she was doing all that, I gambled my butt off and drank. We both had a good time, and the casino delivered. That’s the kind of vacation that place is so equipped to handle.

Unions were instrumental in ruining Vegas. And while capitalizing the casinos may have hurt organized crime ownership, they were able to muscle back in via unions. It has been said the Middle States Teamsters Pension Fund built Las Vegas. And now other unions have jumped in.

Another thing is the concentration of ownership/assets in one company. MGM owns about half the strip casinos nowadays!
