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.

I wonder if you still get free drinks if you’re gambling

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…

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

If I wanted to go to a gambling resort, I’d drive an hour or two to Winstar or Choctaw. Most major cities are now within an hour or two of a casino; Atlanta may be the exception. Harrah’s Cherokee is the closest I can think of to Atlanta.

If you walk into a Starbucks or ANY specialty coffee house today and order two large whatevers, plus two croissant like things, and pay your tip... how much do you think it is?

At least $30.

Add in the “I’m in a billion dollar resort hotel” fee in Vegas and yep, $40.

I can’t afford it. If you can’t, don’t go.

It makes me furious that the Las Vegas airport, which was named after the Cold War hero Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) was renamed for our friend Harry Reid.

How did they not blame Global Warming? People used to go at 110° but stay home at 115°.

More seriously, there are now places within a hour drive where I can lose at blackjack. I don't need to go to Vegas.

Vegas went downhill when they threw the Mob out of town.

Neal Patrick Harris advertises online gambling so you don’t have to go to Las Vegas.

How can anyone ask for a more prestigious and respected endorsement than that?
Certainly not Harold or Kumar.

Well back in the day(the 70's and 80's), Vegas was fun.

Blackjack table payed 3:2 for a blackjack, dealer stayed on all 17's, and cocktail waitresses offered free drinks(yes watered down), I always got a beer and tipped a buck.

Also if you stayed at a table long enough the pit boss would give you a free buffet.

Those days are gone.

The experts blame Trump. Bah. What experts? Ok, I could see the Canadians staying home because they’re Communists and hate Trump. But that goes both ways. I won’t vacation in Canada until they stop being a Communist country. And if I can’t go there, that increases my chances of going to Las Vegas.

Oh, it’s been expensive for quite some time now. You have to know where to go and what to avoid. Sorta like everywhere anymore. 🤔💰
