I'm not going anywhere. Yes, the economy is struggling right now out here as far as tourism is concerned but it will bounce back and hopefully there will be some good deals in the process to try to lure people in

 

[jjgold]

It’s not gonna bounce back. These properties have to pay too much rent. The prices are only gonna get higher.

Everyone now has an indian casino in state or a casino next state over 1.5 hr drive.....plus DK and FD vampires.

Old folks at the slots after church, they are dying. Younger generations dont gamble like degens they found other escapes.

Athletics and NBA wont do jack shit. Only hope is they legalize bum fights and/or live sex offender executions

The fact that 3 professional sports teams moved there in the last 10 years shows one thing-

Vegas went from a city comprised of high end clientele and visitors who had discretionary income and enjoyed the high life, great food, shows and jad no problem spending freely, to just another city full of hamburger citizens with their unions, their wrlfare, their poor, their immigrants, their Democrats, their crime and their penchant for milking the wealthy.

Unfortunately, it has no industry to rely on other than the discretionary income of the wealthy.

NBA could rig a yearly 60 win team and Athletics could keep their young stars but it wouldnt matter. Gambling is everywhere in all 50 states. So as you said any extra income its much smarter to spend a weekend at a local casino. Then no shit flight, cabs, $50 pizzas ect

You know the decline of flying opulence a big factor too...its a pain in the ass and everyone is rude these days.

Yep you dish out $1,000 before you place a single bet

Posted it before - I used to get free $#!T e-mailed to me all the time. Had players cards for pretty much every casino. I can’t remember the last time I got e-mailed anything…..

The comps are way less, they nickel and dime you for everything, and their prices on everything are through the roof...couple that with the worthless young generation don't gamble and no wonder they are hurting

 

[jjgold]

That’s a good point the young generations killing them

 

[Tanko]

I've never stayed at this one.
Someone who has stayed at this resort/casino fill me in.

Downtown off Fremont... Seems like it might be as nice as the Nugget or Circa.
is it a dump or was it respectable?

Vegas is the reason they don't gamble.

Vegas literally gets a generation addicted to video games, placed in their palm.

Instead of getting them hooked on innovative video game slots and reeling them in w free booze or food or gym/ pools, Vegas tightens the slots and goes to resort fees

Corporate America can only win if there's collusion or a Monopoly, because accountants and lawyers fukk everything up.

Any videos of pit bosses leaping off yet?
