Vegas Struggling (April 28, 2025)

I just told a friend in Vegas, the only way for Las Vegas to recover- Freebee packages. Buy a Friday night stay, get Saturday night stay for FREE. Add in buy one steak dinner, get the other free.

Hope some Vegas exec's are reading this as its the only way for Vegas to recover, on top of removing the Resort Fees.

Stop the gouge. Most people could go two-three + trips a year to Vegas. Now, many go once as it is no longer affordable. Resort fees, parking fees, $30 breakfast, $20 cocktails in a plastic cup, venue fees, concession fees, classic room service vs standard, lounge chair rental, on and on and on...

"Which country visits the USA the most?

In 2024, the highest number of inbound international visitors to the United States, 20.24 million, came from Canada."

Your fearless leader has taken the shine off all things south of the 49th.
Canadians are not buying this American grift literally and figuratively.
Vacation spending is just the tip

American tourism to Canada is down 30% this year. We are bitchslapping canucks back into reality. You need us more than we need you.

I have been to Vegas at least once a year, sometimes twice since 9/11. 9/11 trip was practically free, thinknthe whole thing cost me $400 and most of it was for two shows of front row seats to cirque.

I haven't been going on two years.

I think a major key is for the hotels to get together with the airlines and make sure flights are abundant and cheap. Few years back I could do Spirit airlines big seat up front roundtrip nonstop for less than $300 per. Now cant get there for less than $450 in coach. The first thing people look at is mostly hotel. When they find something they like...... they find out it's a Grand to get there and the trip is off.

Airline miles are your friend. It’s never been easier to earn miles (not counting the Mint sale of SBA dollars years ago) and fly for next to nothing.

Just one shipment from Hello Fresh or the other meal services is good enough for a one way trip on American through their shopping portal. Get the initial shipment, skip next 5 weeks and the miles are yours.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Sites are dedicated to this game.

But doesn’t help with the shitty prices in Vegas at most places but again, still deals out there.
