Who now has old style Vegas comps, cheap food, room etc? If you're looking for cheap drinks in California or most any Indian joint, good luck, they all charge about $6-$8 per shot gambling or not. No free drinks at most Indian joints. Cheap crappy cigarettes if that's your thing.
Sure, you can go to various places for less and get the same gambling experienc, but people come to Vegas to get the Vegas experience and you can't get that anywhere else. Perhaps close, but no cigar. FYI I think Vegas It's a great place to Vacation/Visit , and AP, but for.me... I't a shitty place to live when compared to many places.
I was charged $60 for 2 drinks at Rio. I forget if they were double titos or not. Haha! Not even the Strip. could have gambled for them but didn't care. Drinks are premium on Strip if you don't happen to be gambling at that exact moment. lol.
Paying for parking in parkuing lots that used to be free !
Resort fees are bullshit !
Horrible odds!
Maybe restaurants shutdown!
Same fucking food court is any of the 2 big chains. At least give a subway option...
I'd love to see El Diablo/MGM take a loss for their greed. The incessant nickle and diming, although apparently I get my resort fee waved with Gold at MGM. A few places I can table game downtown. Last time I was doing some $500-1k betting at a dump casino downtown.. I'm going back there. Will I drink or not? Not sure. I'll have some fun though.
Literally the only thing good are the comped rooms. The food service if very meh. If you are hanging out alone, you're kinda second class if you take up a table at their steakhouses. Maybe I need to do reservations more often. The clientele are very meh.
TBH I have 5x more fun at my home casino. I have to pay for drinks but they're cheaper than if you pay for them in LV. Really though only thing LV has are some old school table games in some places. Home casino is better in every way.
LV just lost it when gambling is available within hours of every major city in this country. Once the conventions started to die off seems like it really hurt.
With their house rules you're pretty much guaranteed a loss 90% of the time unless you're playing black chip or something somewhere that still does 3:2 or single 0.
