Thread 717541714

Why are gamers wasting their disposable income on useless digital goods instead of the entertainment value of real Casinos?

>>717541714 (OP)
I wonder if we'll live to see the Vegas strip go under.

>>717541714 (OP)
Do vegas casinos have anime girls?.

Sports betting apps are destroying Vegas right now, deserved

>>717541883
they will soon, probably

>>717541883
once they realize the allure of pachinko machines its over

>>717541714 (OP)
Vegas started sucking when they removed Excalibur, Circus Circus and cheap slots. Now Vegas has jacked up prices just so they can be like America's dubai; something that trends in tiktok and instagram but is fake and curated as fuck

>>717541904
This. I much rather spend all my money on sport betting apps than giving the shitheads in Las Vegas. Hell, it's even better than spending on generic anime girls I'd say

>>717541714 (OP)
I'm not surprised, we've had multiple generations of people realize that gambling is fucking lame as shit.

>>717542146
Isn't that just the main strip? Can't you find good hole in the wall Casinos just outside of it? A lot of people from my job go on vacation and they always are talking about heading further and further from the strip for 'better' deals.

Vegas needs to go back to being ran by the mob

>>717542289
Well yes, but the strip is the face if Vegas and makes up a very good portion of their revenue

That garbage was the biggest gacha flop from last year, and somehow it will also become the biggest this year, SOMEHOW

>>717543292
What are relaunches?

Because zoomers don't go outside and have no in-person social skills. Their concept of social interaction is demonstrating dominance or coolness, entirely narcisstic and transactional. They think being rude and treating each other like shit online is fine but they have these fake-ass personas IRL which are laughably opaque and it's clear as day they have no idea what to do around other people.

Why do you think "rizz" (basic charisma) is venerated as some kind of magic ability amongst them? Even basic social mores like introducing yourself to neighbours when you move into a place is beyond them.
And then they turn around and they're like "this sucks for us" and it's like yeah no duh, fag?

>>717541714 (OP)
Because they're not hedonistic parasites like the boomer generation.

jesus christ this whole world is fucked. boomers, zoomers, we need a full on nuclear holocaust of all mankind.

>>717543796
Mankind has been gambling for thousands of years.

>>717541883
Once Boomers die out and they feel the need to market to newer generations.

It's because the US right now is incredibly hostile to the rest of the world. Tourism is down in general and started dipping big time after Feb of this year. That's billions of dollars in lost revenue not just to Vegas but the rest of the country. The stats clearly show this according to LV tourism data.

>>717543490
I'm guessing version numbers?

>>717543796
the thought came to mind after reading every post itt. i am a winning poker player on ignition and ACR.

>>717543910
Now I'm thinking about what the gacha games of the West will look like when they're funded by organized crime reorienting their money away from casinos.

>>717541714 (OP)
Vegas casinos have gotten way shittier over the years, the "free" drinks now take 30 minutes at best to reach you or require you to prove you're booked at their hotel, card counting (the only way to make such ventures actually profitable) was eliminated with automatic dealers.

This is just fallout from the tarriff bullshit and ICE raids. Who wants to visit a country that will force them to spread their buttcheeks after kidnapping them and hauling them to nowhere? This is what soft power through diplomacy and international goodwill can do for you until someone messes with the formula. Numbers until 2024 were fairly normal and then February hit and it all went to shit.

>>717543796
This kek

>>717544143
Don't forget dogshit shows, overpriced food that's just Sysco slop, and said blackjack auto dealers paying 6:5 instead of 3:2.
All while the hotels that used to have river rides running through them and dazzeling displays have gutted most all of it to focus on more floorspace for slots. >>717544174

>>717541784
god please yes

>>717544048
Are the Tariffs supposed to balance this out? I've seen some stuff with countries cancelling plane contracts from Lockheed Martin and other military contractors.

>>717541784
If boomers gets to witness the bankruptcy of Atlantic City in their lifetime, then that can also apply to Las Vegas as well.

>>717544314
I love how people just keep making up random shit ICE could do and other people buy it unquestionably

The tariff costs just get passed down the line until they become a consumer tax.

The casino's Goons will start to harass you if you start winning

>>717544903

>>717544669
Tariffs are a tax on the public. Foreign countries aren't paying it. The companies in America who want X item imported from another country and paying the tax which gets passed down to the consumer aka you. It's not complicated at all how this works. Taxes are unpopular but if you frame it like other countries are paying for it then the public isn't as upset. We have tried this in the past and it's failed spectacularly.

Turns out the House lost....

>>717545128
we know you dont give 2 shits about tarrifs and are nothing but a political mouthbreather who is upset blumpf won again and are trying to control narratives on any form of online discussion

Gambling is becoming legal all over, and younger generations don't have the disposable income to do so comfortably
Vegas is trying to turn the 'experience' into a premium luxury when it's always been the opposite as a cheap destination the average person can easily get to and spend at their leisure
They absolutely need to shift gears. As they're fairly unique in their legal prostitution the US, I think that unironically the most prudent thing for the city would be to double down on that and try to attract people that want to legally get their dick sucked for cheap.

I once lost a Dota cosmetic betting on TI and found gambling to be stupid and never did it in any form again. How the hell do people get a kick out of it?

>>717543592
I think it's possible to be this way in any generation, if you don't have enough socialization during teenage years. For example, I'm 42 now, but even when I was a kid in the 90s, me and my freinds all acted like complete spazzes and missed out on all the normal social events and encounters that you are supposed to get when you are a teen, like talking to girls, going on a date, kissing, making out, fooling around, etc. By not doing those things, instead we tried to make our personas as "the funny guy" or "the smart guy", which seems like a valid strategy but it turns out that it's essentially just abandoning your own life by turning into a cartoon character. Of course, no one ever tells you these things when you are a kid, instead it's just nonstop random hazing rituals and scrambled feedback. You only realize once it's too late.

That's just how gachas are though. Compare Genshin's first banner then the other banners until the next version update. Gachas only make big bucks on anni, new version updates or when a super hyped up meta character comes out.

There's a bit of fun in the thrill of gambling, but I always make sure it's never more than like 20 bucks every once in a while with my buds. Like we currently have a bet on what's coming out first: Metroid Prime 4 or Silksong. We made that bet in like 2023.

The game had a strong first month and then it went to 10/20 mil per month, that's it. I know your twitter friends told you that it's a flop because it doesn't make Genshin or HSR numbers but it's not.
>second relaunch
Preregistering for 2.0 counts as a relaunch because... it just does okay?! HSR doing it as well doesn't count though.

Imagine if Vegas put some effort to bring zoomers into the mix? They just added Uno, why not make a legally distinct Mario Party with crazy RNG minigames and have people play for profit?

I went to Vegas on a work trip in 2023 and if I didn't have per diem I wouldn't have stepped foot out of my room. It felt like it cost $50 just to walk into a building.

>>717546050
I've always wanted to go to Japan when I was younger, now that I stopped watching anime and reading manga I shifted from "I want to buy slop" to "I want to hike around and see the temples and museums and live entertainment".

Maybe I should just avoid cities and backpack the countryside.

I've been wondering what they will do. I visit Japan frequently, and I deeply respect them. I don't want to even try to be one of them but I love to visit and tried to learn a little Japanese etc. and follow the rules. Tokyo appears to be able to absorb the tourism industry, and it's actually really nice that there is a huge local population. For example, even the "tourist" areas near the big temple Senso-ji will have plenty of locals going to restaurants and whatnot in the area. Where Japan has problems is literally everywhere but Tokyo. Kyoto is actually dreadful these days, I just was there and genuinely felt guilty for it. I don't want to go back to Kyoto again until they implement tourism calming like Venice has had to do, and I'd be willing to pay a premium to maintain Japanese cultural integrity because I'm not brown or poor.

Jerseyfag here, lot of it was propped up by the glitz of casinos, and it never really hit Vegas heights, but it had its own charm. The boardwalk was the real attraction, the casinos were secondary to it, and so were the music clubs.

I'm actually near AC right now on vacation, and I'm curious what it's going to look like when I go tomorrow to the city proper now. Last time I went in 2020, it looked like a fucking rathole, moreso than when I ventured outside the convention center in '17, but it was egrigiously bad that you couldn't even hide it on the route to the casinos anymore. And those are straight dying too.

>young people are fucking broke

Gachas are comparatively inexpensive to gambling and I can do it at home in my underpants. Same way how online sports betting is growing right now.

>also dumbasses who don't know retail economics
Goods are sold at the highest value consumers are willing to pay for that product. To increase prices would lose customers and overall profits as people buy less expensive options or don't buy at all. Tariffs on said goods put companies between a rock and a hard place where they neither option is desireable. Lose profit margin or lose sales. In markets where domestic goods are close in value this will force the company to eat the costs due to competitive pricing with untariffed competition. In markets with no domestic options the importer can raise prices, but at the cost of customers and creating greater demand for domestically produced competiton. The trump tariffs are some of the biggest tax hikes on businesses in the US and somehow people bitch. And thosed that outsourced years ago are affected while those that didn't and stayed with the American people are sitting pretty. I don't get why people are so up in arms.

At least you can usually guarantee something good if you roll enough in gacha.
In real casinos, you'll get a few big winners but mostly it'll just go like this:
Put money into slot machine

Nothing
Get small prize
Nothing
Nothing
Maybe get a slightly bigger prize
Nothing x 10 lose all your money

Gachatroons are just a fraction of these retards, and the majority are SEAgroids and third worlders, low iq whites will keep gambling in casinos, horses and sports like always have.

yeah, big beautiful bill fucked them, but in a general sense traditional entertainment venues and what-not are suffering cause people would rather sit at home or spend what little disposable income they have on things they can do at home, be it drinking, drugs, food, or other forms of entertainment. People are also a lot less social nowadays. Go to a rave and 90% of the people there aren't dancing, they are holding their phones up to film the DJ. A million little things like that add up, and it pisses off boomers and gen x faggots like you wouldn't believe.

Speaking as someone who is MAGA and supports tariffs and other things to reverse the trade deficit (and fuck Europe for all their jackass attitudes when they only afforded their high quality social services due to us funding everything else for them). Bringing back manufacturing is not just costly but extremely time consuming. Setting up new factories and production often takes up to 10+ years and Trump is out in 3. And whoever the next president is, even if it's another Republican, is just going to reverse all of this anyway. And he is also still a Zionist puppet just one that at least doesn't want America to be completely fucked. There really isn't much he can actually do for long term benefit in just a few years and what he can do will probably all be reversed anyway.
It feels bad, man.

You're retarded. The US spent literally multiple centuries establishing dominance over the nearbt countries and orchestrating the global economy soit could offload its manufacturing onto other countries and both reap the profits, deny the offloaded countries their share and get extremely cheap imported products. This is literally why you are prosperous and powerful; you made so every fucking country in the planet has to sell to you. You are cutting off the wealth extraction tendrils hooked to these countries and thinking you're saving money.

Tourist numbers are down but only down from constantly going up.
Damn near every state and major city has casinos now and those that don't have them on tribal lands in the state. Just 15 years ago that was unheard of.
Now plenty of states have online slots on your phone / or sports betting (Draft Kings etc).

Strip has more rooms than ever as they keep adding even more resorts, so even more competition for the same pie.

Despite all of this about 12 years ago the casinos went retarded and added "resort fees", 8 or so years ago they added parking fees.
Rooms were getting more and more expensive in addition (they used to be cheap), now tack on more city taxes / fees (gotta pay for all those new stadiums somehow and always more popular to tax tourists).

To give you an idea, Luxor the Pyramid Hotel now has a $45 a night resort fee,
It is also $20 a night to park if you aren't at least a Pearl MGM Rewards Member (used to be easy to get but they have always been raising the amounts).
Taxes and City fees are about 13% on top of that and the room rate.

But hey you are in Vegas...time for that legendary cheap food and booze (and complementary booze) while you gamble...

Yeah if it was 15 years ago. Most of the buffets have closed, the only ones really open anymore are fairly expensive, 80-90 dollars per person, also a 90 minute limit.

A simple domestic beer (12 oz) will be $10 dollars and up. Margarita $16 and up and don't forget to tip 20%.

Well there is still gambling...on roulette tables with 000s, and 6:5 blackjack

Yes some foreigners used to go to Vegas (and plenty went there often), however even most of them have wised up that they are just about better off going anywhere else (except Atlantic City) even in America, such as National Parks etc

I wish I could cave your tiny little head in over the internet. The US became prosperous and powerful because it was the global nexus of manufacturing where multitudes of less advanced countries sent their resources along with the vast domestic reserves being tapped to be made into the various machines of the modern world. Detroit didn't become the one of wealthiest cities in the world by offshoring automobile manufacturing wherever the fuck. The modern decline of the USA conincides with the outsourcing of domestic manufacturing that only benefited rich shareholders.
You have it completely backwards. The domination of surrounding countries was to keep them from becoming industrial hubs and keep them supplying America with cheap raw materials to sell them back.

>>717559559
Corporate does know how to run business. They just don't care about running business for next then the next quarter because that's all they're incentivized to care about.
why would you give a shit about long-term wellbeing of the company when you can just triple prices, get a bonus for tripling the profits and then dip to the next company before the customers fuck off?

No, you're retarded. America has done what it needed to do. The industry and manufacturing you so praise got us what? The great fucking depression. When we didn't have buyers for our shit anymore, we collapsed.
Do you know what got us out of the slump? War. War is still what got us to number one and kept us there. The only manufacturing and industry the USA needs is the military; everything else is secondary. The military ensures our oil supply, our dominance and our prosperity. Because America isn't number one for any other reason but all the stuff we can buy there (because of the foreign manufacturing we control), the numbers that keep going up and the victories we score. Nothing else is worth the slightest bit of consideration.

America is one of the most resource rich counties in the world along with Russia, Canada and Australia. The reasons resource extraction fell by the wayside was enviromental laws and high costs compared to imported ones mined by near slave labor. Another thing protectonist tariffs would have prevented.
Oh, and other counties will sell because

2. You'll get Saddam'd or Gadaffi'd if you don't

CoVid fucked them hard (but everyone got fucked by it except the elites).

I was there at the tail end / during the 2008 recession in 2010. Saharrah still had $1 hot dogs, $1 shots, $1 beers. Cheap buffets, still had free shows on the strip(but Pirates was the "sexy" version" and smaller than it originally was). My corner suite room in Luxor was just $60 a night and it had the hot tub right out in the room (and it was a deathtrap to get into and out of the damn thing due to it being elevated).
Even then the gun rental places were expensive but now they are kind of absurd (and more have popped up, they are probably going to be hurting soon).

I just used to use it as a homebase for hiking / visiting parks and the Hoover Dam. I would just gamble when I got it, didn't get a chance to eat much though as even then most places close around 10 PM.

China's economy is only propped up by the US' economy. Everyone who is someone knows this.

Just like how an army marches on it's stomach, a war industry is reliant on a preexisting industrial base to keep the war machines built, armed, and repaired. Now where did a bunch of rich assholes send the industrial base off to in order to make more money? Is the USA gonna ask China kindly for all the things needed to make the bombs and fighter jets actively being used against them?

i think arcades (like F1 simulators, VR, and what you said) could do really well in vegas - if they aren't already, there's got a to be a few of those somewhere
the biggest issue is they'd have to be off strip, which probably cuts your potential customers by 75%, if not more.
the problem with the striip is that the strip is full of drunk assholes of all races and insane homeless people
you'd need a fair amount of security and even if you (somehow) are able to control who comes in, drunk retards are still going to break expensive modern arcade equipment regardless of how careful you are. I bet some of the bigger casinos could afford to open them, but not some random startups

ww2 only turned out so good for the US since Europe and Asia committed economic suicide and retarded commies picked up the pieces and fumbled around for a few decades, that won't be the case anymore

I'm starting to think Trump isn't the economic genius they sold him as.

>>717557294
Tariffs in moderation are generally a good idea. The US has previously used tariffs on China to help incentive companies to relocate to Vietnam, or back to the US- for instance, weakening China's influence on the US market. However, things like 50% tariffs on everything from Brazil or 25% tariffs on India for basically no economic reason do not help. They're basically economic sanctions on other countries that the US public ends up paying for.
And the 80%, 90% stuff on China he was talking about a few months ago would be total economic suicide. That's why people were freaking out a while back, and why the market didn't crash when that didn't happen.

Gambling is honestly the worst form of money extraction out there - worse than drugs, cigarettes, and interest on loans.

>>717562347
The Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City bled money for 26 years and basically took the whole strip down with it when it went bankrupt.

A financial analyst in the 90s told Trump to his face the casino wasn't sustainable and Trump's solution was to ignore him, call the man's boss and demand he be fired (Trump had no such authority).

In addition Trump scammed most of the contractors who built the casino in the first place, they had to sue him for decades and most didn't get a penny. They went bankrupt and lost their businesses.

He's good at enriching himself to the detriment of others. In every other regard he's worse than flipping a coin to make economic decisions.

Probably not, the amount of new people and developments means Vegas is only growing, the Strip will continue to profit and they're slowly shifting their focus on entertainment and clubbing and bars because the big casinos are fully aware how little people are starting to give a shit about it and their revenue going down because of it.

>>717541714 (OP)
i was in vegas last summer for my cousin's anniversary meetup and it was brown everywhere. browns running the casinos from the 4ft janitors to the floor bosses, who look like 4ft janitors in suits. most of the clientele looked like brazilian tourists. the arcade/midway areas in most hotels are barely even running anymore, the booths are unstaffed and turned off until someone shows up asking to play and then you're playing by yourself. of course that is because there are no families there anymore, no kids other than unchaperoned brown teenagers. inside, the casinos still reek of cheap cigarettes and even the pricey restaurants have terrible food and service. outside the buildings and people movers were visibly dirty and unwashed. wall street continues buying up and destroying classic landmarks like the tropicana hotel. i think only nostalgic boomers and unwise tourists still care about vegas. the place has become a corporate cost-cutting shithole.

several years ago i visited a tribal casino in socal. it was more reminiscent of vegas in the 90s. people go there with their families, they have cosplayers greeting people at the doors, they put effort into decoration and atmosphere, they only have in-house boutiques and no shitty chain stores (starbucks) inside. and as a bonus, they're much cleaner than vegas ever was. it actually feels like you're in a vacation spot while vegas is devolving into its original, seedy self from the mafia days.
