I was in Vegas a few weeks ago.
Yes, it looks much less than years past.
I didn’t rent a car. Uber everywhere. Every driver was Hispanic with marginal English. But I think multi years in Vegas for them. When I commented things looked empty, they said they ARE much lower.
And then it was interesting. An even mix. Trump Trump Trump and his tariffs and the Canadians are staying home! The other half say people are staying home but not blaming Trump for it, and that supported an increase in Hispanic Trump votes in Nevada.
One thing they all agreed on . . . not everyone should be renting cars. Not a one of them said at your age haha, but there was always a glance. Regardless, they are right. I used to rent cars in Vegas every trip. Only after years of learning the streets did that make any sense, and then the streets changed.
Uber is the way to go. Those guys know how to avoid the Strip.
Has there even been a “new” show or performance there lately? You can’t keep running the Beatles “LOVE” or Michael Jackson’s “ONE” and get anyone excited. David Copperfield...really? And Kelly Clarkson at Cesears Palace? She’s a 3rd rate act. The Sphere is hundreds of dollars for a ticket. I’m not interested in a football game there. Even parking is now $30+ a day at casinos. T mobile arena has few good shows.
You can gamble on your smart phone....Has Vegas had it’s run?
