I guess that’s a good thing?
My husband recently took a trip to Vegas. We’ve lived there two different times (a total of about 3 1/2 years). We left, last time, right before the housing crisis…around 2005 or so. He said the casinos have never been more crowded.
They’ve changed the odds toward the house, so odds of winning are worse than ever. The valet parking was so overfilled it took about 45 minutes to get your car. Regular parking was virtually impossible (and even the people paying for a room had to pay extra for a parking spot).
The VIP services were particularly popular…at outrageous cost.
It’s all kind of interesting in a human psych perspective. Everyone is strung out on credit to look important or have a temporary good time or bank on impossible odds to “make it big”.
I say this because there is no way any thinking person (which would be, presumably, anyone with real earned money) would spend their hard earned cash this way. It’s a sucker’s enterprise.

Just to add, there was a time when one could go to different casinos during the night and head out for snacks in the meantime, and then take advantage of the free drinks provided for gambling. That ship has sailed. It’s so impossible to get out and drive around and then get back, they have you cattled in about like Disney world. And the food is all very overpriced.

They named a Casino after a Guns n’ Roses song!? Rock on!

Liz,

You are right. And my company stopped paying for Vegas conventions because of the add-on charges.

Liz,

It depends on the game. My wife doesn’t gamble; she plays poker. Other people gamble, thinking the cards will come their way often enough to beat her.

I’ve since enjoyed quite a few mai-tais on the beach, thanks to other people’s money. 😉

I keep telling her to go to the WSOP, but she’s concerned that she could drop the entire $10K on a bad run. Still, it’s on her bucket list.
