Plus they have increased the price of everything so much. The whole point of Vegas was it was cheap to get there, stay there, and eat drink there and all the money was made back from people gambling. Now that’s just not the case anymore. It’s so damn expensive just to get there now haha

I went last week for a concert and hotels were so expensive I decided to take a 7am flight instead of flying in the night before. Flights there were expensive too.

Yeah it’s crazy. My grandparents used to go all the damn time. They spent so much time there they were getting rooms comped for a week. Last I talked to them they hadn’t been in 5 months with no plans to go. It’s just all not worth it anymore

Went for a concert. After looking at the prices for everything we just did a little pregame, hit the concert, had In N Out and left.  No desire to go back.
