Turn it back into a desert.
May not need the new train from LA.
Anecdote only: Canadians are increasingly choosing to boycott travel to the US.
I think one of the reasons for the decline are, the prices in Vegas have skyrocketed and you can gamble on casino games and sports in significantly more places than years ago.
Especially Sports gambling which can be done on a Phone App or online negating any reason to go to Las Vegas.
Other than the outrageous shows that go on in Vegas, the gambling draw is diminishing.
Vegas priced itself out of business. You use to get great hotel rates, affordable meals and shows. It’s all shifed high end now. Nothings cheap, let alone mid-range. Maybe that model works, I don’t know. Not for me though. Not for what Vegas is.
Young people are not into stupid life styles. Drinking. Drugging
This economy and culture is sobering in addition to any health concerns
Trump is bringing a sobering yet hopeful enthusiastic let’s get to work and fix this thing culture that young people are actually following
There is a lot of tax revenues money laundered funding drying up.
Vegas is not going to be any kind of hot spot. They could jump on board but entertainment is not escapesism as it was
Colbert is out
Stern is gone
Fallon is hanging on having Gutfeld on tomorrow
What the corps and ngos funded will be drying up.
They need to go back to making everything cheap but even then gambling is accessible every where so you don’t need to go to Vegas to do it
Which is too bad since it was pretty fun back in the day
Some are trying to blame this on Trump, but people I know who have first-hand knowledge of Vegas say that the problem is that prices on just about everything have gone through the roof and that this goes back a year or two, at least.

Stop turning a 30 dollar room into a $100 room with all the resort and parking fees. In the rest of the country this is known as bait and switch and people don’t like it.
Need to get Moe Green back in there.
He knew how to kick asses and make things run smooth.
They have a Venetian /New York /Paris themed casinos in Vegas maybe they can open up a Canadian themed casino to get some canucks to visit. Have a big statue of John Candy in front. I’d check it out
Last time I was in Vegas a year or two ago, the scene had gotten noticeably sketchier than it used to be. The strip was littered with Snoop Dogg wannabe types smoking weed on the sidewalk and conducting small-time dope deals. This phenomenon did not exist at all before LV legalized cannabis. The hotel-casinos don’t want that crap inside so the users and petty dealers congregate outside making it seem like you’re walking down the street in Oakland or south central L.A.
Why go to a country run by Democrats that empower
a minority population to run the Local “Turf”.
I don’t like Black Americans, I don’t think anybody else does either, but who is empowered by Democrats to run our cities?
All for the vote.
Most non-black Democrats do not live in the ghetto.
I’ve lived in what you would call a “Barrio”.
I could walk the streets at night, Safely,
and I’m pretty white.
No way I could do that in Compton, CA.
Chinese and Asians are the biggest gamblers. Canada is not the reason for the drop.
Mostly Democrat run state..due to Vegas
I have several acquaintances involved with casinos.
They say the main revenue of casinos is from Asia and the middle east. Asia is hurting and the ME is hurting from oil.
They also go elsewhere (UAE) due to “better quality” of prostitutes and easier flights.
I’m not sure I care they’re gone.
Credit card debt is at record highs and people don’t have all that loose change jingling around in their pockets anymore.
