Michael I have to echo everyone’s comments above and hope in your role you can effect some changes. I go
To Vegas 1-2 times a month for work. I have a lot of family who also go for vacation. We all agree, the casinos don’t pay and they are empty no one seems to be playing.
The fees are crazy and parking? Really? It used to be a wash for
My company to book me at either Cesar’s or MGM resorts but even with comped rooms there are fees and the machines don’t pay and the Buffett’s are no good (unless you want to pay $50-60 at the Wynn) . So I lrefer to stay at Hilton Home 2. The old Vegas is gone it’s all about squeezing every nickel out and we as consumers see this. The casinos need to give us a reason to not stay home and go to Indian casinos. My go to casino is Red Wind in Yelm, WA, where jackpots are announced constantly overhead and the place is jammed packed. I still love going to Vegas but when a casino lists $30 per night for a room and the resort fees and parking add up to $80 a night ( and a small dog adds $85/night -Ballys ) I prefer
To stay off strip. The cost of Vegas is too high it’s not a good value and as casinos lose revenue they add fees to everything else making it worse it’s a sad vicious cycle. I hope the casino execs hire some consultants and make some changes. As for this Vegas fan, no more strip staying for me.

These are my two pet peeves:

– Parking fees

– the Live Entertainment Tax passed by Nevada that adds ~10 dollars to every nightclub ticket I buy. They were already collecting sales tax, so why add a second tax? Greedy politicians

it was much better when the mob ruled vegas

Great list!

Cheap Imperial Palace, dumpy but couldn’t beat the location.
99 cent shrimp cocktail
Overnight buffet at Holiday Inn Boardwalk. Cheap, terrible, dreary, loved it!
Space Quest Casino
Liberace Museum
La Cage in ancient battered showroom at the Riv
Waving around a twenty at an usher at La Cage to (successfully) get a booth
Luxor when it was all in on the theme
Goofy amusement park at MGM Grand
Being handed alcohol just for sitting in front of a machine and a buck tip
Walking the strip and seeing casinos, not malls built right to the sidewalks.
Steak dinners under $10
Pirate battle at Treasure Island
Westward Ho umbrella thingies and cheap hot dogs
Stardust sign

Today’s LV is not my LV. But what do I know? I only travel 4 times a year.

Please tell what companies/casinos have the most transparent pruces/services please?

Which is why this Vegas local quit going to Europe years ago. The overvalued euro. And when I found out the whole Euro dallar amount was based on fraud, it was over. There are plenty of places in the world I can go wiht otu being ripped off. I think of the jewelry store in Greece that had no shame in her over priced gold items. I walked out and wallked away in 2008, never to return.
Pricing her items by what cruise ship was docked, I saw her look out the window. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one she did this to. Now betting she is out of business. Greed puts her there.

Like many others, I have reduced my number of annual trips. I only stay off-strip and downtown. And for those of you who say that downtown is that much better… you better start taking notice. It’s going downhill fast for the same reasons as the strip.

? it’s only $0.02 but if they’re overcharging on every bill, which I’m sure they are, imagine the profits for a year. ON TOP OF the ridiculous pricing and charging for things like a water glass!!!
