I'm sure this has something to do with it but the common man has been priced out of Vegas for a few years now. They cater to "influencers" and millionaires.

because most fucking places in vegas are not only expensive they are fucking nickel and diming pretty much everything.

All actual Canadians were euthanized by the Federal government. You have to rebrand to capture the attention of the Hindu. Maybe make Vegas an open air sewer/vegetable bazaar. Toss in a few cows too. Thanks.

The only way this would work, you could take that 6 million and pay 6 Canadians a million bucks each to come. Tourism won’t recover for at least a generation. That’s assuming everything goes well for the next 20-30 years.

Personally, I won’t go to the USA again, not because I’m hostile to them. I’m more concerned about them being hostile to me. Basically, things got weird.

Aww, did the private equity selling "experiences'' nickel and dime model kill another industry? Aww poor greedy retards. Maybe the resort fee and getting rid of every single benefit like free drinks and lobster made people realize how shit casinos are.

Love watching all those videos of empty Las Vegas streets.

Everyone I know who mentions Vegas these days only talks about how it "fell off" and how big of a shithole it is.

Everything that made Las Vegas popular is for boomers and trying to make it into a shittier Dubai failed. It was better when the mob/Steve Wynn were running everything.

The media loves to paint this shit like its some revolt againsts trump and ever going to the USA when in reality the economy is fucked and everyone is broke as shit and unemployed

The problem with Vegas is that it’s too expensive and not fun. There used to be a time where you could party in the casinos and get a big suite for cheap and all the girls working there were hot. Now it’s really expensive and all the girls busted. There’s better nightlife in Scottsdale for fuck’s sake. You can’t even do drugs or buy hookers there anymore. It’s easier to get an escort in Miami than it is in Vegas. So what’s the draw? Why go? It makes no sense.

Atlantic City > Las Vegas

Las Vegas is trying so hard to become like Singapore and Monaco, not realizing the quality of the people, the ports, tax haven and valuable seaside real estate is what makes their yearly GDP.

>>530078544
Casinos need to pay their staff and their rent. They won't pay games they can't earn money on in the long term. If you want to earn money on gambling, play poker and be good at it. Or play blackjack, count cards, and don't be completely obvious about it.

$80 round trip airport taxi charged per person
Sky high basic room prices
Resort fees
Parking fees
$22 coronas
$37 hamburgers
$88 breakfast buffet
(plus auto-tip)
$25 table minimums
000 roulette
6:5 blackjack
Slot jackpots where if you win they call it a malfunction and give you nothing.
All shopping is luxury shit.
All shows cost $250+

When I turned 21 in 1999 it was $.99 shrimp cocktails, free bottomless booze while playing any game, $1 beers on every corner, $1 table games everywhere and a ticket to see Tom Jones was 18 bucks. That Vegas doesn't exist anymore.

There is nothing attractive about it at all any more unless you're rich or into findom

Its because we're poor. Our government fucked our economy for 20 years and the tariffs put the final nail in the coffin. Instead of acknowledging their fault, they just blame the states. Not the 20 years of strangling out business, refusing to expand infrastructure, shipping, our shipping fleet etc etc Nope! its all the states fault.
Canada could have been the richest country in the world if we tapped our resources and shipped globally but thats not environmentally friendly! so here we are, bent over a barrel and begging for scraps.

I fucking hate it here so much, bro. 20 years ago, Canada was paradise. Canada used to be great, now its a great place to take a shit. I assume thats why they import a billion poo's a month, just to make the aesthetic match the rotten core of this festering shithole of a hasbeen country.

I hope America invades. If you arm me ill gladly kill my fellow canadians. Ill target all the asshats that made this place a 'Post Nation State' with such brutality it'd shock the world. Id make african warlords look like peace loving hippys. The jews would finally know what a real holocaust looks like. The cartels would start paying ME protection money.

I stopped gambling when they got rid of the last last positive EV video poker machines. With comps and cashback I was making $38/hr plus free hotels and drawings that I never won. I found money in the bathrooms a few times too.

fuck vegas, last time I went there were three different 0s on the roulette table and water was $10 a bottle if you didn't buy it at a CVS

lower the prices
stop being fags about people winning
return the comp system
tell gordon ramsey to stop price gouging
police the bums and pickpockets off the streets
libshit policies are what's ruining vegas, bring back street enforcement and keep the strip clean

This makes zero sense. The average American doesn't even think about Canadians existing, much less being hostile to ones that come here. If anything, the only Canadians worth being hostile to are the ones that DON'T come here or even consider doing so because of how much of the kool-aid they drank.

I'm sure the answer isn't to stop nickle-and-diming customers for everything
no, it must be an issue with the guests themselves

It's eye wateringly expensive for a mediocre experience. This is exacerbated by weak Canadian wages.

Vegas made money off of degenerate gamblers and had a ton of loss leaders to cycle people through in case they were degenerates. 97% of people had a good time and enjoyed the bargains, 3% lost the shirt off of their backs and paid for it all and then some.

These days, degenerates gamble on their phone and the loss leaders only lose, not lead. Casinos are also far more common, but the real killing blow was online gambling. Vegas needs all the cheap shit to make a profit now because the losers just aren't coming anymore, only people that were expecting bargains.

There are other reasons: casinos selling their land and renting it back, catering to more upscale clientele, trump pissing off canadians, Vegas needing to price out all the niggers that came when prices got cheap during covid, etc, but the biggest reason is that you don't need to go to Vegas to gamble anymore, ESPECIALLY if you're a whale.

This. I used to go to Vegas 2-3 times a year, usually for a convention and then a couple leave-the-wives behind blowouts with old friends. Last time US customs were just assholes. They see my travel history. Had a nexus card. But they pull my phone and make me unlock it, demand my prints and photo entered into another DHS system; asked a half dozen times if I was going to work … on a three day trip to Vegas .. and warned/threaten not to; my buddy had 8k in cash (10k is the limit) because he wanted to hit the tables and not worry about exchange, and they hauled him to interview why he was carrying so much case, and if he deals drugs and threatened to test him. It was mall cop Nazi shit.

Also: It’s just not worth it any more. Vegas was always going to suck you dry of cash, feeling guilty, but also always left you feeling it was worth it; you get comped, service wants you to have a good time. Thats all changed. Spend 5k on a dinner and they don’t even comp dessert; 10k on VIP bottle service and they’re sliding in extra charges for ice and mixers you didn’t order and the girls barely even smile. The nickel and dime complaints are completely true; not just if you’re trying to do Vegas cheap, but if you are spending decent cash. They’re all chasing whales these days.

Honestly, fuck Vegas and America. And stay down there, you’re not welcome here either.

Yeah. It's all anecdotal, but I had a similar experience. Was crossing into VT by car and they pulled us aside.
I was asked about my work history, how much cash we're carrying, even information about my parents. Our car was searched, my sister believes her phone was unlocked/tampered with because it had droplets of rain on it depite being inside the car. They kept us nearly 2 hours.
Friends describe similar searches and questionings. No fucking wonder nobody's going down to the US anymore.
