My buddy flew in last night for a few days after a meeting in Scottsdale. Got his free room at Harrahs and went down to book to catch last few minutes of the Hawks-Bucks game. Said he paid $17 for a Blue Moon. Ordered small side of nachos and another beer elsewhere and it was $49.

He lived there for 15 years and said the gouging on the strip is just laughable at this point. Said it was jammed as fuck as you said. Said that road that used to be an actual road between Flamingo and what used to be Imperial Palace, where they built Linq that is now just foot traffic was so crowded it was like trying to navigate the pit of a concert venue. He wasn’t sure if it’s always like that or something was going on. I almost went out with him, but he only had like 2 days, so I said fuck it, and from what he described, I was kind of happy with my decision.
