    Aria sent me a email saying $39 a night for up to a week plus they throw in food credit.

    My Caesars host keeps calling with offer of free up to a week plus concert tickets and a dinner.

    The crazy thing is the very best offer I got was from princess cruises. 6-16 day cruise in a balcony room, $500 casino credit, free drinks. All I have to pay is taxes plus they make you put down a $400 deposit that gets returned to you in shipboard credit (can withdraw it from casino on day 1 if you want). Im thinking a 15 day to Aruba and back for next to nothing in a balcony with food and drinks paid for sounds much better than anything vegas.

    No clue on what and at what level you play but from the offer I would assume at a decent one.

    Question for you is with the cruise….if you play slots, do you trust them on payback? And on BJ, how much does continuous shuffle, if anything, cost you?

    Not a cruise fan so I’m biased but it’s an honest question. Thanks

    Another report:
    https://news3lv.com/news/local/las-v...aming-industry

    Tourism down 6.5%
    Gaming Revenue down 2.2%

    Here is the same article on Reddit:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/vegas/comme..._concerns_for/

    Note the hundreds of comments, everyone complaining about prices and fees...

    The latest report:



    He says Vegas is the emptiest he has ever seen it, other than peak Covid (2020).

    The point is, Vegas is a ripoff. This is echoed in the comments.

    And another report:

    Show the numbers instead of sharing grifters videos over and over.

    You are making it sound like tourism is down 25-50% and I don’t think you are that stupid but maybe I’m wrong.

    As I mentioned 3 posts higher up:
    Tourism down 6.5%
    Gaming Revenue down 2.2%

    (This was for May 24 vs May 25)

    It appears the numbers will only be getting worse. Also, I don't care if Vegas does well or not, but I think corporate greed ruined the place...

    Random note- Here in So Cal, the local Indian casinos are advertising on TV all the time. Any Las Vegas advertising- Nope. Those funds go to the Executive Bonus fund.

    Who could have thought that making nearly everyone leave a loser and nickel and diming each customer would lead to them not wanting to come back? Crazy stuff...

    Was just looking at tickets to the RISE festival in October...

    $250 + for tickets??? And Those are SOLD OUT for Night 1!!!

    Can't imagine what J-Lo and Dolly Parton re-sale tickets are going for, but probably not much considering the senior crowds will be attending those shows, lol!

    At least my ROOM will be comped for my Vegas trip this year!
