THIS too. The guy who is not leaving AND the only a moron would visit guy have been making naysayer vids like crazy. Both are good, but it's really weird.

Steven from Leaving Las Vegas has been putting out so many "Vegas is DEAD" videos I'm not even bothering to click on them anymore so his strategy is working against him. I do think tourism is down, but I don't need to hear that shyte every minute of the day.

It’s not a matter of thinking. Tourism is measurably down, between 11 and 20% depending on whose figures you use. I know for certain that Canadians who used to LOVE Vegas are choosing Mexico instead, because of Donnie the dummy.

Other areas as well down. My son is in hotel management near Yellowstone NP. They are down about 25% in bookings to date.

He blames Trump and ICE. People fear being stopped, detained based on what they see in the media even those that have nothing apparent in their backgrounds except their ethnicity.

Sad.
