Walked up Las Vegas boulevard a couple of years ago.
They were homeless bums sleeping in the median and the cops did nothing.
I’m not traveling to go see shit like that.

Went 2 years ago. It's boring as fuck unless you like gambling. The clubs, the "day clubs", the strip clubs, etc are all shit. Expensive for no reason, full of people not even having fun. Everyone just looks pissed off. Thought about going to the Coyote Ugly bar in NYNY and one glance inside was all I needed. Girls looking bored slightly moving their hips while standing on the bar top.

The hotels advertise cheap prices then double it when you show up for "resort fees". I did everything I wanted to in about 2 days and spent the rest of the week walking around drinking vodka I bought at the ABC stores cause the bars are overpriced and disgusting. Went to a few stores I could've visited literally anywhere. The food is super overpriced, gone are the days of those cool cheap Vegas buffets that serve crab. Those are like $80 - $100 per person now.

Vegas blows. The best part of my trip was getting a line of coke from a stranger in a bathroom and watching the Bellagio water shows every night while smoking cigs. Waste of time

Try out South Point next time. It's on Las Vegas Blvd, but away from the strip. $5 drinks, $28 buffet with player's club card, $0.05 video poker & other games, $5 blackjack, poker, etc. Movie theater, bowling alley, arcade, midnight specials at the cafe. It pretty much has everything and isn't ghetto at all.

Oh, and the room rates are competitive I guess, and it still has resort fees, but no parking fee if you're renting a car. Also, if you're playing at the bar, you'll easily get comped drinks because the bartenders are cool as fuck.

I went in July. I enjoyed it. I don't drink and gamble much, but I did a bit. All the food is good, but expensive. Slot machines seem really rigged, I know they're not there to make you money, but the bonus game nonsense seems extra shitty. Never been before, but it did seem like vehicle traffic and foot traffic was pretty low. However, I had a view of the airport from my hotel room and it seemed like planes were constantly taking off and landing. I know everyone Ubers everywhere, still surprised there was less traffic than my small town has at rush hour. I stayed at the Aria, the one famous for the most expensive bottled water. It's just bottles of Smart Water, the same that's a buck or two across the street at CVS. Strangely, the front desk offers free water, but it's really small bottles. But you can ask for as many as you want? It's just baffling, I know it's convenient if the water is right there in your room but seriously, why get that reputation of being expensive?

they were raised not to be bullies and do not engage in psychopathic behavior.

>The feeling of being "bullied" by a slot machine's logic is a common psychological experience rooted in the machine's design and how the human brain processes its cues
. This dynamic involves a cycle of frustration, cognitive biases, and psychological manipulation designed to keep players engaged despite consistently losing

People gamble on their phones now. Vegas made money on the casinos and had a ton of cheap shit to attract people, maybe a tiny percentage would go crazy and lose their house. Without whales now the all that cheap shit has to make a profit by itself.

The other thing is that Vegas got really cheap during covid and it attracted a ton of niggers. There were daily threads about it here for months. They also had to raise prices to get them to fuck off, but I think infinite gambling options are a bigger reason why Vegas sucks now.

I haven't been to Fremont in a long time, but it seems like the further north you go, the more ghetto and dangerous it becomes. I live on the far west side of Vegas, literally on the edge of town, and rarely hit up the main attractions anymore. Red Rock is also a nice hotel, which is located in Summerlin, but it's a bit pricey. Great area though.

More baffling than the overpriced drinks and food is this mall between The Aria and The Cosmopolitan. Everyone is just walking through it to get between the two hotels. There aren't many people walking through it though, which may be due to lower numbers. But regardless, literally no one is shopping there, and it doesn't seem like people ever will. Just these stores with $1000 jackets, shoes, and purses. And this giant wooden sculpture that looks like dick and balls. Where is the customer base for that? To visit Vegas and then trust the airlines to get this extremely expensive shit home with you? How the hell can they pay rent in a mall in Vegas between two resorts with no customers?

Vegas local reporting in. Rooms are dirt cheap now and any hotel that isnt part of a mega corp is waiving resort fees. The fine print is that you still have to put $100 deposit per day down. This is obviously to prevent niggers from nigging. The tourism slump has been great for locals. Some spots are even offering 50% off on certain days and tons of free shit. Also with deportations through the roof, there are no ways to hire cheap illegal workers to clean the rooms. This equates to entire wings of hotels being shut down until busy season kicks in. Less traffic, less niggers, and no thieving spics to raid your room safe. All in all its a win for anyone who lives here.

Protip: if you can't afford the dirt cheap flights to get here, you're definitely a nigger and not welcome.

Maybe Miami does, but central FL doesn't. I remember visiting western NY recently. Just literally any random thing from anywhere beats the best here. It's not must Italian food either, even BBQ and seafood is better. This probably applies to most of the northeast. If I didn't hate snow, I wish I lived there.

I travel to The US about once a year. I always visit Vegas. But I will say that the prices they operate with now is just insane. I usually go to MGM Grand. Back in the days you could get rooms for almost nothing. Free parking, no resort fee. Now, its just nuts. You pay as much for a night there as you pay at a luxury 5 star hotel. And not to mention the insane prices on food and shit. Fucking $40 for a pack of cigarettes and $15 for a bottle of water. Make no sense.
These prices are for those who either have a lot and dont care or those who are degenerates and have no clue about money at all.
Get the prices down and they will se a massive increase. Drop parking fees and that shitty resort fee and they are back in the game.

I can usually find cruises that cost around $100 a day, or less. And for that I still get a casino and entertainment, but also all of my food covered, access to all of the resort amenities, the hotel itself (the cabin which isn't much smaller than a Vegas room), and it travels to new destinations. Hate on cruises all you want with all of the scorn for boomers or simpletons, but goddamn is it the cheapest way to have a sort of equivalent vacation.

I would sooner wander around practically anywhere in Las Vegas than 1/2 block off the Atlantic City boardwalk as someone from NJ and works near Camden.

The benefits of Las Vegas are being central to some decent hikes and other areas.

If you are willing to travel a few hours you can get to either of the Grand Canyon rims, The Meteor Impact Site Death Valley, Zion.

Close by is Valley of Fire, Hoover Dam, extremely close is Red Rock, there is also Bootleg Canyon (mountain biking, used to have a Zipline years ago).

For Vegas itself I recommend the National Atomic Testing Museum (if you can time it right and aren't a dangerous shitskin / from one of those places and can pass a background check / have your anus examined there are extremely limited tours of the actual Areas that book out as soon as they are available via the DoE, you are allowed a bagged lunch of a sandwich and a soda. No cellphone, you can stand near Project Sedan's crater).

The pinball hall of fame was great when it was at the old area over a decade ago but I heard the guy became a real curmudgeon which is shame.

There is also the Neon Museum too, and wandering around Freemont and Tiki bars.

>>526045205

>>526044562
>and dinner buffet cost 150 usd
Most of the buffets are even gone outside of a few places (Caesars and Wynn).

Had the best burger of my life at KGB (but he died a long time ago of MS). Despite what everyone would think I often got back too late from hiking (9 or 10 PM) and most of the food places were already closed so I had to eat at Del Taco (before the Taco Bell was there) near the Grand Canyon souvenir shop across from NYNY.

I still remember around 2010 or 2012 when Sahara had $1 shots, $1 beers, and $1 hotdogs

Yeah. To put it in perspective. Vegas today is not far from what it will cost you each day if you stay in Monaco over here. You can find hotels included parking next to the Monte Carlo casino for $400-$500 a night including food and everything. And that area is the world most expensive place. Its where all the billionaires and rich people go. And even tho I like Vegas more because its just so overwhelming, it is still not considered luxury the way Monaco is. And I think its just crazy that MGM and Ceasar charge this much.

>>526046394
Yeah I went to vegas last summer (dumbest time to go considering prices). But I think I paid about $400 in average a night for everything including parking. And that was not included food or anything. I stayed there for 4 days and it was just crazy expensive. If they lower prices they will easily see more tourists coming. They only need to remove that resort fee and parking fee and people will come. $50-$60 a day for parking is insane.

Been to 21 states so far. So hotels and rentals tend to be the main expense. But Vegas is pretty crazy if you think about it and just one night with parking, hotel room, food, perhaps some alcohol (they give you free drinks when you gamble tho) that itself easily make it $500 a night.

Over here in many countries you can easily get 4-5 star hotels for $50-$100 that is really nice. I have never been to Russia or a lot of the eastern european countries, but I know you can get some insane shit there for a very small amount of money. Pretty sure that both Moscow and St Petersburg will give you some really nice hotels for a very cheap price also.

I agree. The resort fee is over $50 now plus taxes, and that is just crazy. With parking that cost you $50-$60, you are ramping up towards $110-$120 just in parking and resort fee including taxes now. And that is a hotel room many places. I like to go to the Palm Springs area in California, and the times I have been there I have paid about $120-$130 a night for a room at a Holiday Inn. And I think Holiday Inn is pretty based considering what you pay and what you get.
