Another report:
The host, Danny the Medic, is not sure it's dying. He says it's not as busy, but he doesn't really have a conclusive opinion about it. He also talks slowly. If you play the video at 1.5 speed, then he actually sounds like a New Yorker. Ha.
I need to listen to Todd Druff Witteles' take on the issue on the recent secret middle-of-the-night podcast. I am sure it will be definitive and lengthy.
This guy has a pretty good take on what happened to Vegas. He gives some interesting history of events since the covid shutdown:

that guy Steve from "Not Leaving Las Vegas" ^^^ is an idiot, please don't give him to much credence....^^^
Part 2 of the show I just did has a topic on this.Originally Posted by 1dollarboxcar
Suffice to say that a lot of the “experts” are getting it at least partially wrong.
A. They aren’t “experts”, they are mostly clickbait artists and grifters following a narrative they feel is hot currently.Part 2 of the show I just did has a topic on this.

B. Let’s give it a few more months before declaring Vegas dead. The Spirit numbers alone are partly responsible for the Mccarron decreases. Gaming win being up is very telling on what customer are, and aren’t visiting.
September numbers will be interesting.
Canelo fight vs Crawford is the biggest fight in years and rooms at shitty Caesars hotels are all over $400 a night. Circus Circus is $369 currently.
There were no major events in September of 2024 above the usual concerts and such. This one weekend alone might carry the month but that’s a story the grifters Davey seems to enjoy lining their pockets don’t want to hear.
I bought netflix again just to watch the fight.
PS I dont know anything about that guy Steve. I just saw that one video. I missed Dave already posting it.

In the 3.5 months since I started this thread, I have made regular posts which have included videos or links. Most times I simply type "Another report:" and include the video or link. Some of the videos and links are from news channels or news sites, and some (a lot?) are from vloggers (who sometimes quote statistics from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, lvcva.com). I have included a wide variety of sources.
I also encouraged people to look at the user comments associated with the links. People are, by and large, unhappy with Vegas. The big corporations and the high prices and fees are to blame. As some have said, Vegas needs a reset.
One disgruntled heckler in this thread refers to vloggers as "grifters." I disagree. Being a youtube content creator in 2025 is a legitimate job and takes some skill. Youtube viewership has surpassed that of broadcast and cable TV. It is a real business. Time to get with the times.
The times? Grow up Dirt Bag Dave. They may be profitable “businesses” for a few individuals but the majority of lazy ass clowns trying to make money off YouTube outnumber the profitable ones 10000-1. No clue of your age but 30 years ago Hard Copy, Inside Edition and A Current Affair made money with clickbait tabloid nonsense but were certainly never reputable.
By the way, Pornhub also beats broadcast cable TV in 2025, I’ll let you determine if that’s real business or not. I won’t debate that but it’s definitely profitable for some.
By the way, I’m not a “disgruntled heckler”, I just see things for what they are. And the hustlers, scammers and broke losers crying about Vegas are so far off in their facts it isn’t funny. In no other business or industry are numbers like Vegas is currently seeing are overly concerning when profits are up. But that’s an inconvenient number to you. But grifters see an opportunity because of how Vegas is viewed to many it’s taken a life of its own.
As I have said many times, they have created their own issues with some pricing but they are, and will be fine long term. Only suckers like you are falling for this nonsense. And again, Stage Door still has $1 beers, hopefully things turn around for you so you afford a few along with a $1.50 hot dog there.
And yea, I’m still willing to consider a wager on what numbers you are expecting by month for the next 12 months in Vegas buddy. Druff holds the cash, assuming you have any left after falling for Chrissy Mitchell’s YouTube get rich garbage. After all, it’s the new media to you kid.
From earnings call 4 days ago. Okay Tellafriend, you were right.
Boston was flat but good numbers. Wynn Boston has plans to construct a mini “Vegas Strip” with retail and entertainment next to the downtown casino. Kuntmissioner will turn it down.Craig Scott Billings: Thanks, Julie. Good afternoon, and as always, thank you for joining us. I'm incredibly proud of our second quarter results. Wynn Las Vegas continued to be an outstanding performer on the strip, and we were pleased that EBITDAR in Las Vegas grew to a new second quarter record, up 2% year-over-year to nearly $235 million. Adjusting for hold, that number would have been even higher at $246 million. Demand was healthy throughout the quarter with impressive increases in both drop and handle driving a 14.5% increase in total casino revenues, a reflection of our ability to continue to take gaming market share. We were also pleased to grow REVPAR a little over 1%, and we saw continued strength in retail. More recently, the business in July saw continued momentum in the casino with drop and handle both up versus July 2024, and strong retail sales….

Thanks for posting this.
As I argue the lower end resorts are hurting because of the loss of the lower end customer (like Nickel and Dime Dave). With Spirit in bankruptcy and the potential of welfare recipients having to work 20 hours a week, the casual lowlife looking for $29 rooms and $6.99 buffets isn’t coming to Vegas anymore. And since they are sitting on their ass watching YouTube videos, they have plenty of time to cry about it.
Meanwhile Wynn and other mid to high end casinos are printing cash. Walk through any of them on a weekend and try to tell me Vegas is hurting.
And YES, food and beverage pricing is too high but most of us bitch and still pay it.
The wisdom offered above is to focus on the high end (asset rich customers).Thanks for posting this.

You mentioned Spirit. Simultaneous to their financial crisis the French multinational luxury goods conglomerate LVMH Moët/Hennessy/Louis Vuitton bought a stake in FlexJet. FlexJet is second to NetJet. Private air travel. I keep thinking about what this means.
Now I could take a shot at the MAGA dream vs the reality of the wealth transfer but I have a tendency to derail everything I touch. You’ve made the case and I agree.
How many hotels across the country wish they were “hurting” like Caesars is on this weekend in September, along with much of the month.
Certainly not for the average Spirit flying Ham & Egger crying about “no one” goes to Vegas anymore.
From The Mouthpiece with Mike Matusow, episode 177, August 13th:
“Vegas is dead. They brought it on themselves.”
“Why do I find Vegas tourism down? Because they rob everybody, that’s why. What do they think, they can just fuck everybody for week after week after week?”
I call Bool Sheeit on this Room Assigned on Arrival garbage. It Has to be a Gimmick to make you book a higher rate to guarantee you get a Double Bed or the Better View!
It's basically a known fact you can slip the clerk a $20 bill and they will upgrade your room 90% of the time. So do they expect people to do both?
I'm thinking of showing this screen shot to my host at MGM Grand and saying "If you don't play games with my room rate and preference, I'll book with YOU from now on!"
Or I could be like Fam and book 2 days here and then 2 days at some shit hole room like Luxor, lol! OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY???
I know at this point you are just playing a game because while you can be broke and down on your luck, you can’t be this dense.
Again, define “dead” to us. I don’t give a fuck if this self induced junkie cripple said it, define “dead”. You have not giving one stat or description of what “dead”. Numbers thrown out between 5-11% less visitors. If that means “dead” and “empty” as the grifters you are filling the pockets of, consider “dead” you aren’t as smart as I give you credit for.
Obviously Wynn isn’t hurting. And it appears neither is Flamingo for the low end customer like you appear to be.
And as always, hopefully things turn around for you. And yes, I know you are just fucking around.
You are an angry guy, man. Relax a little.
Do you have stock in Caesars or MGM? Who cares if Vegas falls off a cliff for a bit (financially), and inevitably resets?
Since a disgruntled heckler with a likely case of CTE requested this, here is a recent Inside Edition clip on the matter:
