In another year or two Las Vegas will be BEGGING the mob to come back and operate things. Sure there will be a ‘mob tax’, but the streets will be safe and clean and cost of going there will drop by an order of magnitude.
Allowing the city to be run based on Universal Voting has destroyed the city, the same way Zimbabwe was destroyed by Universal Voting, and the Vegas reaction will be the same “Come back! PLEASE come back!!”
I highly doubt organized crime isn’t already still there, they never left. If anything they shifted tactics and branched into private/casino security, being involved in the camera systems, enforcing blacklists
Cheap buffets largely disappeared from Las Vegas, with most closing permanently after the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a significant reduction in the number of available buffets. The remaining buffets have transformed, becoming more expensive and focusing on luxury dining experiences rather than cheap, all-you-can-eat value. Instead of returning to the old buffet model, many casinos have repurposed the buffet spaces for food halls or other dining options.
The pandemic forced temporary closures of many buffets, but many didn’t reopen as casinos opted to discontinue the model.
The demand for cheap, all-you-can-eat options has waned, with casinos recognizing a shift toward more curated, upscale dining experiences.
For casinos, the buffet model can be expensive to operate, and many found it more profitable to convert the large spaces into other concepts like food halls.
Even before the pandemic, casinos were exploring ways to reduce food waste. The transformation to food halls or other dining options provides a more sustainable approach to managing food resources, such as sending leftovers to local farms.
The number of casino buffets in Las Vegas has dramatically decreased, with only a handful remaining on the Strip compared to over 70 prior to 2020.
The surviving buffets are generally more expensive, with some costing as much as $75 per person.
Many former buffet spaces have been transformed into food halls, allowing for more variety and different price points.
While most buffets are gone, some high-end options remain, such as Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace and The Buffet at Wynn, but these are not “cheap” by any means.
“Allowing the city to be run based on Universal Voting has destroyed the city, the same way Zimbabwe was destroyed by Universal Voting....”
Would you explain this? I don’t know what you mean by Universal Voting. The national trend has been toward expanding the franchise — blacks, women, 18-year-olds — but does that have something to do with Las Vegas?
