FAFO. Vegas Found Out

We were just there for the SMX final and I hated it freaking resort fees parking and food and drink prices are ridiculous. You couldn’t see a decline in people that was noticeable but we don’t go to that shit hole often so hard for me to compare, but I know every time we tried to get back into the Paris driveway I was pissed from all the jackass’s blocking the entrance crossing when the crosswalk lights said to stay out of the street.. Do not plan on going back not even for races. I remember when rooms were cheap or comped and meals and drinks were a bargain, at the outrageous prices now I can understand if they truly are losing business and like said before all the Indian casinos are become destination resorts and by far nicer.
 
It'd outrageous. I loved old Vegas and had I spent more time there would be living in a cardboard box at a freeway underpass. We went last TG and I was shocked at how bad prices were.... coffee and coffee cake in the morning $22... brunch with no alcohol at a sports bar inside the casino for 4 people was $200, two shitty G&Ts in plastic cups was $48, two of the frozen daquiri drinks with an extra shot for the kids was $110... fuck that place. I paid for it all from the Craps table but that's besides the point. No $7 buffet or cheap places to go anymore. No clue how they sustain that shit.
 
We live in Temecula and go to pechanga once or twice a month sometimes we gamble but most of the time it’s to eat and see a show. They do a good job of keeping it clean.
I have friends that live in Temecula and when we go visit it Pechanga is busy.
 
The dollar is worthless!
The less people go and spend...the more the resorts have to charge to make up for the loss!
Seems counter intuitive.
Lower prices, get people to go...cut drink prices by 75%...let people have fun get drunk and spend money!!!
 
Haven’t been in almost 10 years. Last was when my wife wanted to go see Britney. Stayed at west gate had a nice condo type room for good price as other hotels price looked good but they had the resort fees parking etc not included.

But after that seein at that time how prices were rising at some
Places etc didn’t look foward to going back.

Use to enjoy going atleast once a year but today have no desire to do so. Heck got a casino 15 min away that has craps blackjack and roulette all Vegas style so why bother with Vegas to gamble.
 
When we did go to Vegas, we would spend most of our time on Freemont Street as I was used to the Las Vegas of the 90's and preferred the older part of the city. With that said, we did stay at the MGM one time for a Glamisdunes.com group trip and hung with Wash 11, Amy and a few others. Which reminds me Joel... my current eye candy is 100 times better than what I drug along on that trip... 🤣

My Ex has a degree in arguing with people so we got the MGM room at a significant discount, "I can give you $60 per night for the room or you can NOT get the $60/night... your choice!". When we went to head home and gather up our stuff in the room, I noticed an article of clothing under the bed (about 10% visible on her side) and grabbed it. I held it up noticing it was a pair of BIG Black lace panties (I know what I buy and what is 'excess' material) and said, "Are these yours?! I don't think these are yours!" and she lost it. Mentally and stomach, wise.

So... we got a free night and an education on the MGM Grand's cleaning practices for their customers that low bid. I believe that was my last trip.
