Vegas used to be a great bargain vacation destination. Cheap food, great restaurants at fantastic prices, cheap hotel rooms, big name entertainment at reasonable prices, no resort fees, no parking fees, lots of give-a-ways. Every hotel had a grand buffet and many times it was buy one, get one free dinners. 99 cent ham breakfasts and steak dinners between 11p.m.-7a.m. Great lounge acts. It was FUN, FUN, FUN! Vegas has become WAY TOO GREEDY, WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Bring back the deals like they were years ago. Reopen the buffets. People gambled more, spent more money years ago. After people spend $100-$200 night for lodging, $100-$200 steak dinners, over-priced entertainment on top of their airfare to get there, ...people have little money to spend on gambling. It's just simple economics. Unfortunately, Las Vegas has lost its glamor, fun, excitement and mystique. Vegas has become too corporate instead of being personal. The downturn will continue until Vegas makes the decision to go back to a reasonable destination AND player/customer friendly.

I think it has alot to do with the changing demographics. Back then, the casinos made all of their money on gambling earnings and were able to make alot of other experiences cheap. Now with the audience changing to a younger non-gambling generation, they need to make money by charging for the experiences they had sold at discounts in the past.

I remember back in the 90s and early 2000s you could be a regular working stiff and afford to stay on the strip in Vegas and do a little gambling. We would play $2 and $3 Blackjack at Caesar's Palace all day. We could make side bets for the dealers frequently and kept the pit boss in good spirits, so we would usually get comped for breakfast or lunch. Not to mention lots of free booze. A room at Caesar's was $60. Now you would be lucky to find a $25 table and the rooms are hundreds of dollars plus resort fees.

Quite a few of my coworkers choose to leave the company I work for for this place, and regrettted it soon after when the property began to lay people off. The problem is that the company that owns it over-estimated what Vegas was about. They view us as luxurious destination, which to be fair we were at one point, but that isn't really the case much anymore. While some people will never admit it: Vegas is not the casino destination it used to be, not once other states started to legalize it. The industry here is dying a very slow death, and we can see this with some of the older casino's closing up shop. Heck, I see it even at the property I work at; according to one coworker who has been working there for twenty years, it used to be full of people all the time - even in the late hours of the night - now? The number of people you see slowly trickles downwards until just after 3am you will hardly see anyone *except* locals who are loyal to either those properties or companies. Frankly Vegas needs to get a new industry put in place, according to some in the city, within the next thirty years the Casino industry will no longer be viable here.

A casino only for whales in LV? Plastic plants, overpriced meh food, slots that are not paying out, not enough blackjack tables, located in a iffy part of town, come on. they didn't read the room. It's uncomfortable asf to be there in spring dressed up in the daytime, whales don't even do that, not in LV, it's too freaking Hot they need to go over their entire "vision"

@@krist5860 Well what I'm saying is this is nothing new. The strip is built to rip people off and when you hit big once and one of the casinos you're gonna be like "OH I like this casino" then proceed to lose it all the the next day at the same casino.. I'm a local and know that casinos take in money from tourist and in a sense put it into the city. Again nothing new. Its best to stay away from the strip. Gamblers are also built like whales so yeah.

It was absolutely empty on the casino floor last weekend. I was there on a friday night and I was the only one playing a table game in the entire pit. I also only saw a handful of slot players. I don't think they're anywhere close to 97% occupancy, but if they are then they are in even bigger trouble than I thought because that would mean none of the people they're attracting are gamblers. That's a much worse position than having a low occupancy.
