Thread: Is Las Vegas relevant any more?

    When are the casinos going to adjust the comps for all the inflation? Bacchanal buffet is close to $100 now. Imagine being the person who played for Diamond and still has to come out of pocket for a buffet...lol

    $50 gas cards won't even get a 1/2 a tank for some people.....RIP
    FraudJ's word is worth less than the prop cash in Singer's safe...RIP

    Casinos cannot keep up with inflation and increase holds without law changes sub 85% and will patrons even want to gamble sub 85%? Casinos are packed, hard to actually believe they have to increase holds, but anecdotally I feel they are beginning in my sphere of existence.

    Why do you think casinos can't keep up with inflation? Because of staffing shortages? I thought I read they had been making record profits lately... that suggests they're just being cheap where they can.

    By and large corporate profits have skyrocketed but people feed on this inflation angle. MSM doesn't cover it. Rightwing news doesn't cover it. Both are too corporate. Somehow corporations have managed to have a record profit while ALSO paying for all these inflated products.. wait what!

    I'm already sick of 85% joints and I can't imagine if I gambled a lot for fun. Rooms aren't that great when the service sucks and your local casino is far better in almost every aspect. Vegas figures people are going to be in and out, sheer them while they can. Local places realize people will keep coming back when they win.. these 2 different mentalities are quite apparent after spending much time in LV casinos.

    Logically, I would say they should increase the wager amounts and prices. Instead of 50 cents minimum on a penny slot, it will have to be 60 or 70 cents. If inflation comes to be viewed as persistent, they'll redesign games to allow for easier adjustments. Casinos already use imaginary coin denominations such as 2c and 20c, so they could add 35c, 75c, etc.

    Inflation being a political issue, our rulers will be standing by to excoriate anyone who raises prices. But eventually that will become background noise.

    Poker hasn't changed that much in limits. People adjust depending on how much $ they have.

    The inflation thing is a weird mixture of rightwing talking point and brazenly sociopathic corporate greed. There is also actual inflation mixed in there . I can likely find other articles, just NPR was first hit and I respect them.

    This is why corporations rape us. People just roll over and are ok with casting blame elsewhere because it makes them feel good to do so.

    Wise up.
