Why don’t they go to the doctor

And the chips are one hundred percent on board with it. Wait until Vegas cops learn who really pays their bloated ass salaries and lawsuits.
How much of the 40 fucking billion ICE dollars is going to end up civil lawsuits?
I’d like it to be plenty, but we all know it’s mostly going to private equity firms that own prisons, food, and nazi guard corporations.

Was at a resort a few years back and they pulled the same shit. Paid for the one round, but what would have been multiple days of day drinking and spending there turned into us finding a pool, but then going to the local bar instead. People there were great, exchanged stories, and spent probably a quarter of what we would have at the pool.
If they had even just charged half of what they were we probably would have stayed and they would have made a few hundred off of us on drinks alone, but they got so greedy they lost out on everything else.
I've never understoodbthe appeal of a resort. Growing up we would visit my mom's family in northern England, touring museums and ruins around Yorkshire and Northumbria, far flung from the tourist hotspots other Americans would visit. I suppose that comes from my old sailor grandpa. He was always adamant about eating where the locals ate, so we did that everywhere we went

Gambling is also widespread enough now if that's why you were going to Vegas, you don't have to anymore. Even in NC we have a pretty sizable casino in Cherokee. And the shows in Vegas seem to really just be the same shit you could see in other big cities, or at least something equivalent.
DraftKings killed Vegas by taking the main money-maker of Vegas and putting it on people's phones.

Yea, no one asks "Why doesn't anyone visit Vegas anymore".

Suckers will always go to Vegas

We don't care who does/doesn't go to Vegas

If Vegas disappeared tomorrow, we'd cheer

Yeah, the Vegas shows are generally residencies where a performer goes after they aren't popular anymore. I think one of the 'big headline' shows is still Carrot Top... for whatever reason..

But also, "Why doesn't anyone want to go to the desert in the middle of a massive summer heat wave?" should maybe be self-explanatory. That, plus telling all the overseas millionaires "Fuck you, try Dubai instead".

He wasn’t satisfied with just bankrupting his own casino. He’s a mission to bankrupt every other casino, too.

It's always the same answer.
Why aren't people having kids any more?
Why aren't people going to bars anymore?
Why don't people want to work anymore?
Because 8 lazy lucky fuckers own 50% of everything that we've built.

Was in Vegas in June to see weird Al concert. Believe the stories about $20 bottled water. Apparently Vegas decided it wanted to be like Monte Carlo and cater to the ultra rich. There is no reason for anyone who doesn’t have oodles of fuck you money to go to Vegas anymore. It’s just not affordable which makes it not fun for normies.

The Strip has always been the worst part of this city as long as I've been here. The weirdest trip is when I worked retail on it, and there was no freaking way you could ever responsibly afford the stuff you sold (even with employee discounts).
I imagine a majority of that area is like that. The rank and file are meant to serve the wealthy invisibly, and get out. The enjoyment is for the oil sheiks and tech bros and other wealthy foreigners who couldn't tell you what they do for that wealth in under a hundred words.
I've been fortunate to see some shows and things here before, but the rest of the city, much as I want to escape, has much more to offer than that nasty den of scum, villainy, and abject misery that is The Strip.
Unfortunately, if the Strip tanks, it'll likely take a lot of the city with it.

Wonder how many Las Vegas big wigs voted for the Trumpcession.
This shouldn't be hard for business owners of any size. You look at the stats. You see that our economy always fares better under Democrats, then you vote Democrat because a better economy means people are spending more money at your business.
Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.

Canadians have left Vegas in droves. Cancelled flights and hotels all over the place.
No support for fascist dictators and their corporate overlords.

I am hijacking my own comment here. Apparently the occupancy of Las Vegas hasn't really shifted at all since the 90s. What the guy in the video is saying is true enough but I think the video is still a little sensationalised.

(check out the occupancy percentage)wrote last edited by [email protected]Okay final draft: The truth is more complicated than that. Apparently the visitation rates are still the same. It's the gaming revenue that's down. Which you can see down here here. Which makes sense I suppose. So apparently people are still visiting Vegas they're just not gambling as much any more (or people have just gotten more and more lucky over the years
).https://www.lvcva.com/research/reports/post/lvcva-executive-summary-of-southern-nevada-tourism-indicators/ (check out these excel reports over the years looking at the gaming revenue on the bottom right)
