"Yes I call the youngsters who are buying the $5 cupcakes for sale at the casino coffee shop dumb. Not to mention the $15 fancy drink, or $4 bagel and butter, or $6 muffin. The casinos do fine with their bottom line with these youngsters who seem to have unlimited funds.
But you won't see many locals paying these prices. Even with comps, it is ridiculous the prices that are charged."
But what do you think Las Vegas is really all about? Do you think all of these expensive beautiful casinos, resorts, shows, etc are all for the locals who live in the city? I live in an area that is very expensive for tourists as well (though nothing like Las Vegas) - and I understand that.
I'm sorry, but I don't think that the giant casinos are going to die without the locals business. Sam's Town, Station Casinos and all the others depend a lot more on that.
Yes, tourists come and go - over and over and over again. Conventions, etc etc etc do come and go and bring in tons of money with each one.
Wow - you can't see Las Vegas for what it is considered to be all over the world - you can't excuse the casinos for getting what they can to support what it costs to keep that going.
Perhaps you are too close since you live there and it's your everyday world.....Mind you, I'm talking about the properties on the Strip in this regard.
