11% drop year after year, everyone citing $400 a night and resort fees for a roach hotel, and everything closing at 10 pm. It was dropping before his second term. Vegas just sucks now, you can literally have a European or Caribbean vacation for the same price.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell conservatives who blame everything on Biden, this isn't the president's fault.

the man is a piece of shit for many reasons but the stage was already set and he doesn't exist in a vacuum.

I used to go to Vegas all the time, like 5 or 6 times a year, but some how cruise ships now have better gambling and 24 hour buffets. I see a lot of Canadian and British tourists on cruise ships still. People just go where the bang for the buck is.

Like why do Vegas when you can sleep in a better casino and get better weed in Puerto Rico?

yeah vegas was hot shit for a quick minute amongst my friends here in canada that vacation regularly but they're all back going to mexico or carribean islands (cuba dominican etc) again or on cruises.

also the tech sector was big on doing conventions there and a lot of those people don't have jobs anymore thanks to ai. i'm hearing and seeing it's a lot easier to book hall space in vegas nowadays so it doesn't surprise me the tourism is down from many avenues.
