This. The buffets were ASTONISHING. No longer. I once had a breakfast at MGM for $15, and it was on 16" plates, beautiful silverware, perfectly cooked bacon and everything else was PERFECT. Alas, those days will never return. Now it's $50 for a breakfast, and a slice of pizza is $9. I don't know what went wrong? Gambling is available in every city, so why fly to Vegas? Unionized service workers driving up prices? General lowering of wages from inflation making a fun vacation impossible?

>>512004690
In the old days when you took a road trip to Vegas from across the country after endless miles you eventually came to the Hoover dam and the road went across it. It was just kind of interesting and nostalgic. A huge dam in the middle of nowhere built back in the day where many died working on it.
Traffic was bad across it and probably they maybe worried about terrorists or some shit so I think they built a nearby bridge so it's not the same.

>>512003794 (OP)

NIGGER

Nothing spoopy to see here.

I went to Vegas in 2007. Lots of Chinese tourists, several people begging or putting on some scam show in the street, but it was otherwise fine. Lots of people walking, don't remember seeing junkies or any weird shit going on, but I stuck mostly to the main strip where all the hotels are. How much has it changed since then?

>>512005121
The whole thing is too nice for a dam though. Even the public toilets are like what you'd expect at the opera. Idk it's just too nice for what it is, and then there are the rumours...

>>512005116
Sure, if you put security of that shit! Otherwise its just a bunch of socal groids grunting out "courtesy ride" and a bunch 9f black bus drivers giving they bruthas a free ride while everyone else pays full price to ride with a bunch of nigs looking for someone to rob. You know, like how it is now.

1. zoomers prefer online gambling and gacha games from their bedrooms instead of a $250 flight and tsa grope
2. vegas escorts are 3x what they cost in mexico or any other thirdie country
3. reno is better, safer, and has tamer black people
4. Stateline has better hiking and better rates at the casinos, and is closer to Silicon Valley where the money is

Legitimately only boomers want to visit Las Vegas. I can't think of anyone under 50 that wants a "vegas trip".

Noone can afford to gamble anymore. I make 87k$ a year, no kids, no wife, I live in the middle of nowhere and I'm still not really saving up much money. Also, everytime I go to a casino I lose 100$. I have never won money ever. So no, definitely not going to fly or drive all the way across the country to lose more money.

There are casinos near me I an go and play blackjack. And also the most recent casino I went to had a 25$ a hand minimum, so for me that's like 4 hands. Not worth the trouble.

>>512003794 (OP)
Nobody gives a fuck about a dam. Boomers are going senile and every group of degenerates have figured out casinos are a scam. Plus now there are casinos in basically every state. When the feds killed the mob controlled hotels it was only a matter of time before Vegas was dead. You can't even get hookers anymore unless you leave town.

>>512005288
I am opsesed with the damn which I don't know a thing about, except that it's of the old world!

>rumours
of it being nice? people made nice things in the past full stop, there really is nothing else to it, it's just that the modern world is ugly to its core, simple as

Vegas killed themselves by inviting niggers to the city to spend their Covid bux. Now the nogs know about it, so Vegas has to try to aggressively price them out, thus making it also unaffordable for the Whites who used to go. But if they make prices more reasonable, the nigs will be back in an instant. It’s over.

I don't enjoy being cynical about Nevada but Reno is just better at stealing Californians money. Reno leaned into the #green hippie shit and, because of that, liberals will just appear on weekends and give over their money. The hotels aren't great, the streets are shabby, the food is meh, the gaming is shit, but it has everything in one easily accessible location that is very close to where all the money is and Reno makes it very easy to get around without a car. Reno also works with California on Tesla chargers too, and Teslas can (and often do) self-drive from SF to Reno all the way no problem. I've seen like twenty of them today on the Bay Bridge.

Las Vegas doesn't have this. Nobody is boarding a smelly Spirit flight full of niggers to McCarran (or whatever it's called now), nobody wants to get ripped off by Southwest anymore and nobody wants to get ripped off by a cab anymore. LA-Vegas is an easy drive but SF-Vegas is not. And, Vegas doesn't have anything besides the Strip. At least with Reno, rich tech executives can dump the wife's kids off on the way up or put them on a (city) bus and have them fuck off into Tahoe while dad watches the bull fuck his wife.

Vegas wants rich asian money and poor nigger money. They don't have either because asians will do Macau and niggers have no money. It's over.

>>512003794 (OP)

>>512005746

>>512005746

Reno makes it easy to get to Reno. There is an (almost) direct connection between the money (SF) and Reno at Richmond. And again, Tesla FSD works on 80 no problem. To enter Las Vegas, you have to first drive through Oakland, then Fresno, then Bakersfield, then cut through on 58 and stop to charge. And you'll be waiting 3-4 hours for that charge behind eveyone else. Teslas can make it to Reno on a full charge and recharging is complementary at the better hotels.

Only old boomers go to casinos, and they are dying off quickly. The kids these days, the younger generations, they'd rather gamble for jpeg anime girls than money or go and gamble with magic digital files. Casinos are about to be even emptier all throughout the country. Porn is much more accessible for people now, you don't have to work hard to look at tits or pussy, so sex appeal doesn't work in casinos because of that. I won't deny wokeness has a factor but the worst thing those woke niggers did was fork over money to blacks and not the dying, aging strip.

I went to Vegas years ago and stayed at the Luxor. They charged me an extra $60 just to register into my room which my travel agency didn't inform me about at all. If there was one thing I was looking forward to the entire trip would be to see a great view of that Nevada sunrise but nope, my6 room just so happened to right behind the head of one of those giant sphinx statues they had out front, so I couldn't and didn't see shit. For a place that is right next to the goddamn Hoover Dam and was only opened since 1992, man did that fucking shower have like, zero water pressure. I also wasn't all that impressed with the fucking Criss Angel shit everywhere with him apparently performing there and fucking Carrot Top was fucking EVERYWHERE! In the ads, in the promo bumps running 24/7. Everywhere. That face and those eyes leering at you around every corner was nightmare fuel.
You have to be an extremely trusting drunk person or someone on drugs because man, every single casino was laid out the EXACT same no matter what hotel I walked into. The same tables, the same floor plan, the same spot where you can win a car and the only difference of that was the model and brand depending on which one you were in. Every single inch of every single street is absolutely littered with cards for hookers while mask wearing idiots flick them at you as you walk by. Once you stop getting dazzled by the lights and such, the tackiness of the place creeps in as you take in what a facade the whole thing is. I can honestly say at the end of it all, I wasn't all that impressed.

both these. decades ago I was dragged along as "cover" by some sharpie stock trader/semi-pro gambler types, and had a great time, and IIRC never had to pay for squat. Got "comp-ed" drinks and even pretty darn good buffet. My crew put me in tux and that seemed to make casino staff take notice and I felt like I was James fucking Bond.

Had to go to company training a couple years back and "WTF happened?" Shit is crap, way over-priced (and I'm from SF Gay Area) and full of ghetto ass Niggers, flaming fags, with some Jeets and Spics thrown in.

I haven't been in over 10 years but Luxor was my preferred as the parking lot was easy to get to, and you could just use Frank Sinatra Blvd and skip the strip for leaving / travel.
This was before the built the Stadium and all the other crap though.
In 2010 a corner suite Pyramid room was only $60 dollars, and it had the jacuzzi in the corner of the room + a living / sitting room.
The next year they added the resort fee but it was only $10 dollars and you got 2 water bottles and the newspaper in room, daily.

The resort fee is nearly $40 per night, $20 per night for parking too...on top of the room, + taxes, + taxes for the stupid arena.

I only really used Vegas as a home area for >>512009350
going on hikes / adventures into the desert, it was a decent homebase for The Grand Canyon (North and South rim, rip North rim), Valley of Fire, Hoover Dam, Red Rock, Death Valley, Zion, Meteor Impact Site.

I heard even the Pinball Hall of Fame has become a horrible place as the old guy running it and his wife are a real crumudgeon ever since moving to the strip.

Hell, I hate to sound like an old foogie but even in 2010 I remember the Sahara had $1 beers, $1 hot dogs, and $1 shots. Ellis Island also had their own brewery on site and great steaks.
Now try $8 dollar plus beers.

If anyone goes, the Nuclear Testing museum is great. The Neon Museum was also fairly nice (I think they moved now? used to be near Mt. Luther King Blvd and pretty sketchy area).
There is also a neat train museum, was a zipline course, and some pretty interesting mountain biking or general trails around Bootleg Canyon / Hoover Dam.

A bit back and to the left of the first picture is a marker on the ground, a plaque is behind it. To read the plaque you have to pretty much step on the marker....then you learn the marker is the burial area for a dog that everyone loved while they were making the dam, it died getting run over as it slept underneath a vehicle.

The Pat Tilman bridge is a decent walk and nice to get a view of the bridge, helps cut traffic between those just traveling / trucks and those going to the dam as it used to back up after 9/11 for checks all the time.

The extended tour is neat, if they offer it. The part in Vegas Vacation where he ends up on the outside really just goes to a bathroom. They used to take you to a shaft where you could stick a phone / camera out and get a neat selfie, no clue if they still do that, while walking along that air shaft, you will come across a grate covering stairs and a 200 foot drop.

There used to be a video on youtube / liveleak of a jumper at the damn with a camcorder, you can see body parts come off as he slams into the bottom.

As for Vegas despite what everyone thinks food places close relatively early (ie midnight or before) so you are stuck with the cafes or Del Taco (now there is a Taco bell) on the strip as I was after hiking all day.

I recall a hazy memory of at some point tipping $20 for 2 tiny water bottles as I was so parched while gambling after hiking too.

I would play the machines / gamble as a bit of "giving back" and whatever I put in I expected to lose. When they still had Star Wars machines I was pissed one night as I couldn't lose money and I just wanted it gone so I could go to sleep. That and just wanting the gonk to appear for a match bonus instead of R2D2 (gonk was the lowest win, R2D2 highest...but come on GONK)

>>512004386
>Too many Youtube videos of winners getting denied their winnings because of (((reasons)))?
That is one reason. The big ones are resort fees, parking fees, 6:5 blackjack, 000 roulette, and the exorbitant cost of everything else. Want a bottle of water from the casino? $8. Remember when they had free drinks available while you were playing and all you had to do was tip the server? Yeah they cut her job. The mob got replaced by the real (((gangsters)))

>>512004578
Wait until they open the Hard Rock by Bakersfield later this year. That place is going to be LIT

I went to Vegas twice. It sucked.

Gambling is fucking retarded, the only fun game to play is craps, and even that is only fun because it's a social game. Sitting around and playing fucking blackjack or roulette or some retarded nonsense? Absolutely the fuck not.

The tourist shit like the shows, Old Vegas, the restaurants and shit, are all just that, gimmicky tourist garbage. If you're a clubbing type I guess that's a thing, but I'm not. So at the end of the day it's basically just a place where if you're a Millenial you can spend a few minutes living out your Ocean's Eleven fantasy, and that's about it. Other than that it's just gay as shit and expensive and boring.

Want unlimited food and drinks and stuff and even gambling? Go on a fucking cruise. Or better yet, go take a hike in the mountains instead.

Wait they don't even do that anymore? Bro what the fuck.

I think it is based off play now, ie no sitting at the bar and getting comped off barely playing video poker, more like what AC has had for much longer.

Carrot Top was highly recommended and at least in 2012 was great, Criss Angel everyone said was horrible so I never went.

I also had the best burger of my life at KGB at Harrah's, it was a lamb burger. Shame about him dying of MS and the place closing.

Getting pelted by hail after a freak thunderstorm came in while I was coming down from Turtlehead Peak in June was also something...

The locals hate it but yeah it is a dry heat, just stay hydrated, pace yourself and even the 115 Fahrenheit is easy compared to the east cost 90s

>I would bet $1,000,000 that every casino bar and restaurant on The Strip is packed right now
Well you would have lost that bet because you can watch the live streamers right now and it's a fucking ghost town

What I thought Vegas was as a kid
>Pretty cheap everything
>Cocaine and hookers
>Get assfucked at the games but who cares because resort treats you well and you get drunk
>Safe enough to be out in public if you stick to the casinos
What i understand it to be now
>Treated as an amusement park with amusement park prices
>"Family friendly"
>Get assfucked even harder at the games because odds are worse now while getting charged even more for drinks
>Brown people everywhere

How far off am I? To my understanding, casinos were supposed to butter you up so you were more willing to open your wallet. Seems that now they just expect you to put up with the prices for the "prestige" of being in Vegas

>>512003794 (OP)
Gambling? I can't afford groceries. You have any idea how expensive gas is? Airlines are shit. You think I'm gonna spend $400 just to get to the desert to give some lame corp my last $10? I need that $10 for rent. Boomers ruined the country. Let them save vegas.

Isn't it a fuckign ghost town?

Fucking source you gatekeeping bastard.

>>512003914
Did the total lack of life clue you in that it wasn't a place for humans to live? Historically the only reason people lived in deserts was because the land was so trash nobody would bother trying to kick in their shit to take it.

The fact he drove from Arkansas to california and back like its 1960 should tell you

Gacha is fun but I don't think its a replacement for gambling, rather its a gateway. Phone and internet gambling is what's killing vegas- whether the sports betting or offshore online casinos.

Vegas used to be full of loss leaders because degenerates paid the bills. The degenerates are now gambling from home and the loss leaders are just losses.

What game is this?

>>512019535
I used to play this Sega horse racing video game / table game with these ponies on wheels that were under magnetic control and actually had leg action. And I would just punch up whatever and win every single time. I must have sucked $1200 out of that machine in one sitting, I never gambled again. That was like my second time gambling too, I brought $50 each time. Lost it all the first time on some gay video slots, second time I saw this game and put all my money in and just won the SHIT out of it. Only way to gamble is to quit while you're ahead.

Blue archive. The girls have halos, its art gets posted on pol all the time. Now that you know you will see it everywhere

Things haven’t gotten more expensive average wages have just not increased proportionally

Basically poors are getting increasingly more fucked every year

>>512004386
>slice of pizza is $9
they are really rubbing it in arent they

I fucking hate poor people

Yeah pizza is 9 dollars a slice but average retards are making 200k a year now

It’s the wages not the cost of things maybe try not being a retard

I've grown up and currently live in Vegas. It's become a terrible place to be. Nothing is affordable anymore. There's aggressive nogs and spics everywhere. Drug use is rampant, I can't go to the park with my dogs without being bothered by homeless or meth heads who openly sleep or piss on park benches. I swear it's been getting hotter each year. Residents are getting taxed the fuck out to pay for the next sportsball stadium in hopes that it'll bring in more revenue to the city to which no the fuck it hasn't. It's only enriched the owners of the lands and buildings who actively sidestep taxes to pocket more cash, fucking over our infrastructure and overwhelming our city so commuting is a fucking pain. The casinos are unionized to the extreme so everything is expensive and it's miserable to work with the entitled shits in those buildings. You can't find someone nice to settle down with because everyone is so bastardized mentally that it's nothing but used up roasties and gold diggers with pussy as wide as the grand canyon from all the Mcnigglets passing them around.
Don't come here. We don't want you. We don't want to be here ourselves. Actively trying to move to another city where things aren't shit. This isn't the city I grew up in. Vegas has fallen

give me one example because i think you're retarded.

Fallout New Vegas fan here. Is it worth it to visit IRL Vegas?

>>512018274
Fuck everything about that. Nothing would keep me away more than even the chance of that.

for me its resort fee rip off, not being able to use my room in a basic manner like putting my drink in the fridge without getting a fine, the toxic "tip me" culture everywhere, the high prices on everything and the insane homeless people running around everywhere why i dont want to visit vegas again

used to be a great place in late 90s/early00s. i honestly only go exclusively to east/south east asia these days. no niggers no western propaganda everything is clean and affordable

>>512019254
You are a fucking idiot

>>512024599
>IRL Vegas
its bad now but if you have never been you will get a kick out of it. i recommend booking a helicopter flight at night they are not expensive and visiting a shooting range. other than that make sure you other if you go in a group someone has a drivers license because red rock/bryce/grand canyon are something you should see and you need a car for that

>>512023134
This is correct

Vegas also hates poor people now, which is why they got rid of all the things that would attract poor people (free parking, cheap buffets, low table minimums, sports books to sit and do nothing in...)

Tourist volume and revenue are down 1-3% on the strip but profits are up

somehow taxpayers will have to bail them out of the massive debt and keep the city lights on

>>512023877
Wow, fuck. That sounds pretty grim. But it does paint a wider picture of the state of things currently happening everywhere around the Western world. Even juggernauts such as LV don't seem immune to the decay at large any more. And it's unsurprising. It's what things have been designed to become, by their very nature and that of our hopeless fiat currency model. Everything stems from that.
Was LV like we saw it in films? This crazy ass mecca of vice? Was it even crazier, or less? Care to share some stories?

>Residents are getting taxed the fuck out to pay for the next sportsball stadium

Bullshit

There is no state income tax and property tax is capped at 3% for annual increases

>>512018274
The only people who get kicked out are card counters and advantage sports bettors. No one gets kicked out for playing slots, lmfao

>>512010592
Only like 30% of strip revenue is gaming

People come for sporting events, concerts, shows, clubs, pools, or just want a nice hotel room with fancy restaurants

>>512025466

The VP machines have lights on them that tell the bartender how much you are playing... if the lights turn a certain color they come over and check to see if you want a drink

>>512003794 (OP)
Vegas will die off along with the boomers. No other generation has enough wealth or contempt for their progeny to piss it all away gambling like a bunch of degenerates.

Gee, imagine if your president went out of his way to ridicule your closest ally and holiday visitor to the point at which they actively self banning themselves from visiting ever again.

How the mighty have fallen. Vegas can suck my balls

“Why don’t things cost the same as they did in the 90s wtf is going on it’s the Jews”

Because the 90s were 30 years ago, the 60s was 30 years before the 90s. A loaf of bread was literally 25 cents in the 60s

Do you even math?

>>512019795
Saw Carrot Top on mushrooms. Was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

Two things

Wages are not keeping pace with the cost of living and inflation etc. it’s not the cost of Vegas it’s that you make shit money or don’t even have a job because it was given to laquisha

Secondly the cost of living has not really dramatically increased in the past 10 years but culturally time has slowed down. There was a distinct difference between the 50s 60s 70s etc but really nothing has changed culturally in the past 30 years so time feels like it has slowed down while inflation remains the same

>>512014681
I get so bummed out about how shitty everyone dresses now. Literal fucking toddler clothes on grown ass men. Women are even fucking worse.

those faggots should never have started charging for literally everything
