Las Vegas tourism is crashing

....

A few years ago, they removed refrigerators and microwaves from all hotel rooms. That, alone, makes me not want to go. Parking is no longer free at any hotel. You can’t even buy a bottle of water for under $5. These are things I have heard from others. I haven’t been there in 8 years.

All the comments saying it has nothing to do with Trump. Those people are delusional. US tourism is dead now and nobody will go there.

Believe me, I know what you're talking about.

[quote] Nevada voted Trump in 2024.

I hate Vegas, but we should probably point out that Clark County, where Vegas is located, voted for Kamala.

While the Democratic margin between 2020 - 2024 did shrink, the majority of people who voted aren't Dumpsters.

LV fucked around with Trumpy and found out.

All they need is a gal like Deborah Vance to bring the luster back to Sin City!

R2 You expect a hotel room to have a microwave in it??

I'm in SoCal and used to go around once a year. I haven't been since COVID and don't have any plans to go in the foreseeable future. The other thing killing Vegas is the proliferation of other ways to lose your money -- Indian casinos, online gambling. etc.

Uh-oh, New Orleans and Biloxi....

I was there last week. As the world flourished over the past decade, prices were jacked up year after year.

Now as the planes start landing with empty seats, panic will set in and I'm guessing a snowball impact quickly taking hold.

No one wants to be hassled at the border.

HAND OVER YOUR PHONE

Why?

I remember when you could go to Vegas and have a rather cheap vacation. They want you to spend your money gambling.

Now the prices are nuts. And all you get for the prices are a bunch of twinkling lights all over the place. No wonder, at the first hint of economic distress, people are abandoning Las Vegas

Sssshhhheeereeeittttt!!!
