No one going to Vegas could be early sign of depression in economies ...or the jitters, or people realizing that Vegas wasn’t expanding because they were losing money, so the tourists got tired of seeing casinos getting rich.
Bring back more buffets! Lower prices on high end meals, less computerized gambling machines, single deck blackjack...better payoff on craps....
Real gamblers can see the rip offs and you can still find some good games if you look, but the tables minimum is usually $25 now. No more $10 or $15 games.
Charging for everything is short sighted. A few years ago, I used to go to Tunica at least once a month with my wife and her sister. Got a free room for the weekend and I never paid for food. When she got bored, she went to the room and she was good.
Even here in Tunica, they are cutting back. They don’t comp like they used to, so I don’t go as much. As I do like to gamble.
