Can we all agree that Vegas was better when the Mob ran Vegas? You used to be treated special and got comps worthwhile, now it’s gimme gimme gimme.

[@wizirbyman]

i personally prefer vegas now - better food, parties, and love all the concerts and games they have

[@gordonallen9095]

Absolutely. They gave you all kinds of perks and bonuses as long as you gambled, and spent money. And they STILL managed to turn a substantial profit. Nothing but corporate GREED in Vegas now.

[@solutionless123]

They're worse than bums now

[@sevendewey]

We used to go to Vegas 3-4 times a year every year for 20+ years. Now we go to Reno. Been there 4 times total and haven’t paid for a room or any resort fees on the last 3 trips.

[@librasapphire7830]

Reno is ahhssssss

[@sevendewey]

@ no argument from me there. But we literally never leave the Peppermill. Food ain’t as good as Vegas but I can handle it for 2.5 days and at least it’s comped

[@marc-ow7jx]

🎯

[@Henlarious]

Reno? 😂

[@prpafinfer4608]

In Reno are way better free plays

[@ANotSoHotRodGarage]

Does anyone remember when vegas was about the experience? The casinos did everything possible to give guests an experience. Now it is how much money they can squeeze out of you. I remember 3 dollar steak and egg breakfasts.

[@glennfromel5711]

The answer to all your questions is money!

[@Krillinish2]

ATM tip for Bank of America customers: the only BofA ATM on the strip is on the 4th floor of the M&M store.

[@gecko-ko362]

Employees have access to BOA atms in the employee areas. 🤫

[@laurie6332]

There is also a BOA just past Ellis Island in a little plaza on the left. It's an actual brick and mortar BOA so their ATM is a normal ATM without the jacked up ridiculous fees. It's not a very far walk from the strip and the area has really been improved so it's not a scary walk either

[@VegasSteve70]

There's one on the right side if you're traveling West on Tropicana just past The Strip at the Home Depot parking lot at Tropicana and Decatur.

[@wipeout97]

I don't understand the constant price increases on the strip. The traffic, crowds, and airfare coupled with horrible odds compared to my local casinos is why I now play 15x more locally than I do in Vegas. It's just not worth it anymore.

[@idread3523]

Juice ain't worth the squeeze.

[@wizirbyman]

it's because people aren't going to vegas to play as much as they used to (or want to). now people go for experiences like concerts or music festivals or to watch sports games or for conventions.

[@cameronh8811]

What is going on with these massive price increases? Are they trying to lose even more money? Along with the high room rates, resort fees, parking, and worse gambling odds, they won’t make it eventually. People cannot afford this price gouging.

[@me7659]

You saw the numbers in the start of the video. Vegas doing just fine.

[@cassidy99ful]

It seems they're just catering to the whales who don't care about money now.

[@davidpaul6615]

People keep paying so price increases will continue. Maybe 15-20 yrs ago used to rent car at airport , save 2 taxi rides & all hotels had free valet parking. Corporations that own these hotels look at them like spounges constantly figuring how to Squeeze Few more drops. Either way Vegas is my fav place :)

[@Luigisalibi]

Increased employee salaries = increased fees. They pass it off to the customer unfortunately.

[@cassidy99ful]

@@me7659 Yeah, I think their point was that It's becoming less affordable for the low roller. It seems Vegas Is trying to push out the low roller and just cater to the high rollers that don't care about their money.

[@beckyclark4180]

High prices is keeping us away. There are too many places to visit that don’t cost a lot. Like the ocean. Or the Great Lakes.

[@jamesofsandiego]

Now is a perfect time to head out to the desert. Anza Borrego here in San Diego. Red Rock Canyon and Valley Of Fire North of Vegas. No resort fees.

[@timothyfote]

shh!!!!!

[@nickfromm5315]

Indians have decent casinos too. More tobacco smell, naturally, but they sometimes have powwows which are fun to watch. Much cheaper and dotted around the United States

[@HoodAdventures]

Exactly

[@zonaken]

Wow! That's a crazy amount of info presented in 10.5 minutes!!!! Thanks! Zk

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

You're welcome!

[@nonfatalfonso]

$12 atm fees... WHAT A JOKE, no wonder people gamble downtown not on the strip

[@mikeyhetrick]

Casino Royale $3 ATM fee. Ellis Island either $2.50 or $3 fee. CVS at TI $4 fee. Always choose other ATMs than ones on Strip casinos floors.

[@donwarnick1089]

Maybe have your money in hand before going seems to make sense to me. If you’re spending $100 on a meal or $30 for a drink at the pool what’s another $10-15 bucks more if you need to tweek your budget when running low.

[@MikeGibson-l5e]

The stupidest thing I've ever heard is a casino charging you to get your money from an ATM to spend it on gambling in their casino

[@gobbletegook]

Esp. AT $11.99! GIVE ME A BREAK!

[@delcodave]

can you still go to cvs or walgreens and buy a soda and then take cash back? (for free)

[@KathleenCernetich]

Prices are up machines are tight Vegas has got to be a very expensive vacation

[@puggychu]

Just came back from LV 3 nights vacation. Nothing special there for me anymore. Not even the buffets are worth coming back for. This could pretty much be my last visit there. Everywhere you go it's fees, fees, fees. Buffets cost have gone up doubled and food is mediocre cafeteria junk. It will be stupid to go back to pay so much for nothing special experience.

[@wizirbyman]

vegas is only fun now if you plan to go to events - like concerts and music festivals. just ask the people who just went to the sphere and other events like new years how much fun it is. it's less about playing in a hotel and more going to events or shows now

[@RebelMontana]

Regarding Whiskey Petes section. The property is closed but the gas station is unaffected by it and will remain open. Good for truck drivers that used the Flying J to fuel.

[@dan-omiteyounger4939]

Good to know

[@jayotangs3067]

Keep bumping those fees up. Already ridiculous that hotel guests have to pay for parking on top of Resort fees. Downtown, off strips such as South Point are way better options for seasonal visitors to Vegas. Even using comps aren’t that worth it anymore on the strips, still have to pay them fees.

[@philc.9280]

We used to fly or drive to Reno or Vegas in past years and had a blast enjoying the cheap amenities (food and hotels). Now it is getting unaffordable. Since retiring recently, we now use our RV and go "glamping". There are a few places to RV on the strip too.

[@davidpaul6615]

Excellent vid Jacob Happy Holidays Everybody 🎄

[@lu_to_the_wanna]

Aloha Jacob. Excellent video, Mahalo. $45 resort fee at Excalibur is high comedy 😅😂😅😂😅

[@rtyughvbn12]

Excalibur is a dirty dump. everything is dirty there and oldnand it does not smell good. Luxor always smells like a sewer. It is dirty and old too.

[@66RainySuper]

Maybe high resort fees but you can get their rooms for $11 a night frequently

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@horcruxz]

@@JacobslifeinVegas Do you know if they will honor the $45 resort fee if I book it before the changes? I have the email confirmation that said $45/per day resort fee. What are the chances they will not honor it?

[@valeriepeluso7771]

I was there early Dec. everything was outrages price wise. Don't think I'll hurry back

[@journmsu]

The more growth I see, the more I realize I have no intention of visiting LV...ever. Way too high room costs, resort fees, increasing parking fees, and now two more hotels being built. Why build more? Las Vegas isn't special anymore. It's just an oversized glitzy desert dump. I wish I had a way of going back in time to when the shows were awesome, the food was great, and winning was celebrated.

[@robinbrook5624]

The strip gambling is down, because they have priced themselves out of the market for the average person. All those ridiculous fees and restaurant prices, cut deeply into the budget. I just stay on Fremont and gamble where we still feel appreciated. I will catch the Deuce sometimes to see the Bellagio atrium or for one of those Chicago pizzas.

[@laurie6332]

I solo travel and I do not feel safe downtown. Especially when there is a band and there are hundreds and hundreds of people squished together shoulder to shoulder. If anything ever happened that would cause people to be frightened and run (I think you can deduce what I am referring too but YT doesn't like certain words) there would be so many injuries just from people tripping and falling from the push of the crowd it's scary to think about. I like to watch the live streams but whew, when I see the crowds I would not want to be standing in it.

[@robinbrook5624]

@@laurie6332 - We each have to do what we feel comfortable doing. I'm a senior aged female that has gone many times solo, and never felt uncomfortable on Fremont! Actually I feel safer there than walking on the strip after dark. While videos show crowds and the quirky people, it isn't showing the whole story. Just watching a calm night without crowded spots or something odd, just doesn't attract viewers.

[@carpediem6431]

It’s about time the government dealt with “hidden fees.” Bought Shin Lim Vegas tickets two weeks ago. Picked out the $60 seats. Final price was $89 ticket. All of this AFTER you picked out the seat and price ($60).

[@joeaardvark9214]

Yea but the video also said they're still not making it illegal. They're just putting it in the fine print that you're still gonna pay those fees so you're "more educated."

[@donfarang]

@@joeaardvark9214 The new ruling makes it so that they have to clearly disclose the fee before you go to pay, that's all.

[@johng4093]

Should by law say $89 from the start, never show $60 except in a price breakdown. Make it easier to compare.

[@morningsalute03]

I’ve lived in Vegas for about 7 years now. I can count on 1 hand how many times I’ve stayed at the strip.

[@laurie6332]

As usual, great job gathering all the Vegas news and putting it into a very informational newsletter type format Jacob. I really enjoy all the information. Vegas is changing so fast and furious it seems like it is a whole new city. It sort of sad imo. I can't even tell anymore what demographic they are trying to draw? Clearly not the older generations. They have priced me right out. I used to be able to go for a week on a pretty minimal budget but not anymore. With all the after dinner inexpensive shows gone, and only very expensive residencies left, there is not much entertainment now. If one is not a gambler there is a big void for people who don't want to pay $500 and up for concert tickets there really is no draw for entertainment. I miss the Cirque shows, or the inexpensive but entertaining shows (magicians, ventriloquists, comedy etc), the shows that used to be $69.00 or thereabouts that would be fun to go to in the evening. But I still like to hear all the news you round up for us. Maybe some day I will go back but there are so many other places to go that are not as expensive I just can't see paying the sky high prices in Vegas. Vegas has become so greedy, and there isn't even justification for the prices yet they just keep going up! Keep up your hard work, I think you have found your niche for your channel.

[@willisjefferson5886]

Maybe the Big Casinos should lower their table minimums, So you can play Black Jack for more than 5 minutes before you lose ALL your money. The tables on a Friday or Saturday are empty, No one bothers. The Casinos are going to take MY money, Why not let me have a little fun before you clean me out?

[@ashleylala4293]

Agree, it’s ridiculous. If they want empty tables and lower revenue I guess they’re achieving their goal so congratulations to them. I like to stay at Wynn but good luck finding a table that is less than $50 per hand. And yes, they’re often empty. And when I do find a $25 table, they usually raise it to $50 shortly after I sit down. (Ofc they still let me play $25). I think that’s another weird little trick they have so the place doesn’t look completely dead. I often leave and go to Green Valley Ranch. It’s great, $15 table minimums, double deck blackjack and better payouts.

[@da_frenchie_code3700]

I can tell you 100%that big casino ain't going to lower it down the bet because y would they want people playing $5$10 etc.. playing in their property and scaring all the big money players away. 😅

[@da_frenchie_code3700]

Think about this those small limit people they only money 💰 maybe going vegas one every year but those high limits players they got money so they can go anytime whenever they want. As you can see compare with high end casinos and lower end casinos. Lower end casinos rooms are dirty full with lower end people so they have$5 $10 there but in higher end casinos you will only see people with higher end with money 💰, clean room and people are more educated not like lowrrend casinos mostly drugs .

My family would always drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas when we were younger and we would always stop by the stateline since they could pretty much just leave us at the arcade in Buffalo bills. With the closing of Whiskey Pete’s it’s kinda sad to see the stateline be a ghost of what it once was.

We’ve been to Vegas for the last time in 2022. Just so danged expensive to do ANYTHING. The middle strip is now so full of construction, the smell of weed, the homeless, the mentally disturbed. It just isn’t worth the cost versus the fun. We used to save all year and go to Vegas for 3 days. Heading to Louisiana now , or even closer, to Kickapoo Lucky Eagle to get our casino fix on

Resort fees are a rip off which is why I only stay at hotels with no resort fees such as Four Queens.

[@Y_Not1]

Great video! I feel like the resorts are pricing themselves out of repeat business. The more I see the cash grab for Fee's I find myself not able to support this. We would visit 3 times a year then 2 times, now I'm not even willing to go. Crazy high airfares, outrageous food prices and now the Fee's are just to high to justify even 1 visit for the year. There are places in Asia you can fly to and are just as nice and it would still be cheaper than Vegas. Sad!

[@Just1Me9235]

Sure, hotels can still charge resort fees. But they now have to be included in any advertised price. For a hypothetical example, take a room at MGM Grand. Instead of being able to say "Rooms from $79", they now have to include the resort fee in the price of that advertisement and say "Rooms from $129".

[@russt9478]

$12 ATM fees is a deal! ATM fees at the strip clubs are like $60 That's why you take the hike out of the casino to CVS/Rite Aid/Walgreens and use their much cheaper ATMs.

[@pamelacrowell2007]

How stupid are they charging a Resort Fee? That's an obvious money grab. They can't pass $45 room increase? Most people who come to Vegas dont stay just one night so that "Resort Fee" could be collected by an additional $5-$10 bucks a night, still bad but a lot easier to stomach. I love Vegas but I have too many casinos in my area to gamble in and enjoy and several get me home in my own bed. Yeah, its not the same but the minute they slapped all the extra crap on top of room charge, we opted out of Vegas and instead spend our money closer to home.

[@Cinemashow777]

The Vegas my wife and I loved 4 times a year for 20 years is long gone. It’s lost its magic, charm, and fun. The entertainment Vegas provides is far less than it was and the prices are so much higher. Hence, Vegas loses our $40,000 spend per year, and sadly, it could not care less. By today’s Vegas standards, myself, my wife, and our money aren’t worth the effort.

I couldn't wait to return in 2022 as CoVid suddenly was gone nearly as fast as it arrived. Shocked by the increases, 2022 vs 2019!! Summer of 2023? Nope, from Grand Canyon to Vegas is about 275 miles, I bypassed it, went to some different Colorado destinations. Food and Hotels there not cheap, but half of Vegas prices!! No parking fees, no "Resort Fees" , no gambling losses!! 2024 for me, same, I stayed 6 nights in Grand Canyon, then Colorado, for 4 more days, which feels like some a discount vs Vegas.
