Once, my husband and I agreed to go to that timeshare presentation because we knew the building was a short walk from our off strip hotel and they were offering us a free ride. Within 15 minutes we were there, walked into the lobby with 200 other people, declared the lobby "beautiful!", milled around for a couple minutes getting in this line or that, then we walked right out the door. Saved us a 30 dollar cab, hahahahahaha!

We, as hotel employees do not break into guest rooms.I don't know where they got this information.. We have our own personal key that we check out on a daily basis that is recorded with each employee's information. If something comes missing from a guest room, we are interrogated by security. Most of the time, it is the guest who lost whatever they are looking for. Case in point, the hotel I work for just suspended an employee for being accused of stealing a guest gaming chips.. She was so fearful of losing her job after thirty-four years with the company.. She was cleared and guess what?? The guest found the chips.. Stop blaming the hard-working employees of these hotel casinos.. Shame on you to the ones who made this video

There has been times I won significant money at the tables and as I walk away from the cashier I have been propositioned. That tells me not only is the eye in the sky watching me, but the eyes wearing heels watch as well. Another time I hit a Royal for $4 grand at the Rio and suddenly several very attractive young ladies wanted to go the Voodoo lounge with me. Just saying when you win, be extra, extra careful. People see and will be happy to take it.

I can't get over the parking fee on top of the resort fee. If parking isn't included, then what the hell is the resort fee for?! It would make sense if you're valeting your car, but self parking, AND you have to walk a half-mile from your car to your room is a total inconvenience to have to pay additional 20+ dollars for.

I see so much videos about scams in Vegas and it's normally all the same about how monks and showgirls approach you, but you gave us something new in here that I never heard of before. Such as moving things out of the refrigerator which has a sensor, wow that's a new one to me. Looks like they have the whole thing planned. Love how you opened the video at the start by saying a guy offered you drugs and just put a show on for the camera. These scammers are truly intelligent and have it all worked out. Things in here I never even knew about. Wish I saw this before before when I came to last Vegas in 2018 lol

A couple of things... 1. Escalators conveniently turn into stairs when they're broken. Annoying as hell when it's 112 out. 2. When I was 14 a guy tried to sell me his "gold ring" in a casino. He may have been really down on his luck but he was most likely trying to sell me a fake piece of junk. 3. I leave my payout tickets along with some cash for the housekeepers when I check out of the hotel. Hopefully that's a good use of them and the housekeepers don't cuss me out

I also hope it’s not an issue for them.

There are escorts who actually are dressed very business like…I was in Paris lounge and it was very crowded…the lady beside me talking to her bf or husband, he goes to washroom I think…she starts talking to me and based on her dress I think she’s on business trip and she asks me to join her on dance floor of course I say yes, after 2 songs she goes do you mind if I get fresh lol…then after a couple more songs she goes let’s gamble…I go out into Paris casino and tell her I don’t gamble so she says let’s go out of casino I want you to meet my “friends” that’s were I said bye bye lol …so for guys you really need to be on alert

So true about the escalators and elevators to get to the pedestrian bridges! I am handicapped and must ride a scooter. I have two horror stories. First, it was bright sunlight 8 AM and I came out of one of the elevators right in front of the Wynn, and there were 2 guys there waiting to mug me! I held on to my purse and yelled loudly, and just luckily, a couple was coming around the corner and the man was large enough to intimidate the muggers and send them running. Another time, I tried to travel down the strip on my scooter near the Linq Promenade. There were homeless people sleeping in all of the elevators! I couldn't even get my scooter in and had to wake them up to get them out of the way! Also people walk right in front of the scooter while looking down at their phones. They don't realize, these scooters do not have brakes. You just have to release the handle that propels the scooter forward and that stops you so abruptly you almost bang into other people and hurt yourself. And the crowd is so dense at the crosswalks that I can't see where the slope is in front of me and sometimes come up on a curb and have to maneuver around so I can get to the slope. I wish people were more considerate. I think that they don't see people on scooters as handicapped, they just think people that rent scooters are too lazy to walk.

I miss free parking 😭 we’re spending more time off strip now. Idk, if this qualifies for this subject but on a recent trip we were at Shake Shack in NYNY & there were what look like might be homeless people, that blended into the crowded restaurant. They sat across from our table like they were waiting for an order, they also filled up water cups with Sprite😅. They never picked up an order…At times they stared at us, which made it uncomfortable to be there… I thought they were gonna reach for our phones or something the way they were eyeing us. We decided we were done eating. One of them approached us asking for our scraps. & the other went on to ask another table for their food. I preferred if they’d ask us for some change rather then that whole experience. On our 3rd night, they were stalking the pizza spot in the Linq Promenade with same M.O.😅 I prefer when someone asks me if I want to buy drugs over that experience lol

If a taxi driver stops at a dispensary or party store flat rate no longer applies so they might pressure you to stop. I feel like that's the new long haul.

Today ... everything in vegas is a scam 20 years ago ... rooms were $25 and the buffets were $5 Today the rooms are over $150, with fees, and the very few buffets are $50+ Is is because the local government allowed two companies the buy about 80% of the Strip casinos......no competition and the prices go thru the roof.

The biggest scam and rip off is the entire industry now. I've been going to Las Vegas every year since the early 80's. My last trip was 2022. It's nothing but a rip off city now as prices are through the roof for EVERYTHING. The "comps" are a joke and pathetic. It used to be the pit boss would give out a comp to a big bet player but now you need "points" on your player card ------ Baahahahahahaha. I even seen a triple zero roulette wheel ------- Baahahahahaha. They are slowly eliminating the theme hotels and the Mirage volcano is going to be replaced with a gitar --fk me. Treasure Island used to have a pirate show out front. Then it was replaced with singing Ho's. Now it's totally gone. The corporates have destroyed Las Vegas. Also of note is that on my last visit there were homeless people laying right on the main strip and you have to walk around them. The mob would never have allowed this back in the day. The corporates have destroyed Las Vegas. We need the mob to take over again.

I wonder what would happen if I took a bracelet from a monk, and then just took off running. Would he chase after me? As far as I'm concerned, it must be free because he handed it to me. Perhaps I'll try this next visit and see what happens.

It's such a shame you are blaming hotel workers for theft and breaking into rooms.. We have a card to enter the room, and that card is registered to whoever enters that room. So you would be stupid to break into a room being an employee.. Why would you make guests of hotels fearful of being broken into their rooms by employees of the hotel..

I’m sure that 99% are honest and hardworking. But sadly, there are employees who see an opportunity and it does happen. We see this posted in Facebook groups and, as a matter of fact there was a news article just this month where a housekeeper was arrested for stealing over $100k! I’m not in any way blaming housekeepers. Again, almost all are honest, but like they say, one bad apple!
