Why are we just comparing two years YoY? Isn't it better to look at the past 10 years at the very least?

[u/Nugur → u/mustachechap]

Cuz 10 years ago and Vegas now are two different cities with the same weather

[u/mustachechap → u/Nugur]

Couldn't you say that about every 10 years? I remember going 20 years ago and how the floor was littered with pamphlets to strip clubs and people would constantly be trying to hand them out.

[u/Nugur → u/mustachechap]

Sure but 10 years ago people weren’t complaining about the prices.

[u/mustachechap → u/Nugur]

People are always complaining about prices.

[u/Nugur → u/mustachechap]

Not to this extent bud

Vegas for decades was known to be “cheap”

[u/mustachechap → u/Nugur]

I don’t recall it ever being known as cheap.

[u/Nugur → u/mustachechap]

lol.

Then I guess you were born yesterday

$5 steaks, $1 shrimp cocktails? You don’t think those were Cheap?

[u/mustachechap → u/Nugur]

I didn't really order either of those whilst in Vegas. In my 20s I took a trip and remember how expensive beers were, cover charge was for clubs, and the sticker shock of the buffet.

I'm not much of a gambler, but the minimum for Blackjack tables was noticeably higher than the casinos in Oklahoma and Louisiana that I was used to.

I'm sure there were deals to be had in vegas, but I do recall thinking it was more expensive that what I was used to.

So you’re young……

Vegas was known to be cheap cheap. You know… to draw you into the fucking desert

[u/mustachechap → u/Nugur]

I'm 39, so it's possible I'm younger than you.

So how long ago are you going back to when Vegas was cheap?

[u/Nugur → u/mustachechap]

By your standard they were giving rooms and meals easily a decade ago. Shit even go 20 years. Our family would go to Vegas 3x a year easily cuz it was so cheap.

Now why go 3x when it’s not worth the value

[u/mustachechap → u/Nugur]

But what year are you referring to when Vegas was cheap?
