Wow! So much news in Vegas. I resubscribe to make sure I was subscribed! Lol. 200,000 subscribers fabulous 👌! I have loved every minute. And goodbye TROPICANA! The music concerts interest me the most and the new and old restaurants I want to try out. Also the adventure of new Hotels and the Autominous hotel suites you can rent long term looks like a nice option with nice amenities. Thanks Dave and Tonya.❤

I think people have had it with the gouging prices in Vegas. Tourists been saying it for years. In addition to that, the ever increasing costs to park at the Casino’s automatically shut out a lot of the 2,000,000 residents that don’t visit the strip much anymore except on rare occasions. Who lives here wants to deal with the strips congestion to pay $25 for parking and $50 for a hamburger meal.

We used to go twice and sometimes three times a year. No more. Everything is as you said, expensive and not really that great. People are slobs and behave poorly for the most part. Hotels are dirtier than ever before and service folks are over-whelmed and can't seem to keep up. Food is okay but way over-priced. So we're going to stop going so often. Maybe once every three-four years.

@DMAN-o2e considering I do photography for the chief of a huge tribal casino in California, I disagree and am actually more qualified than you to say that. Sure Vegas could care less what I do, but I am not the only one. To say tribal gaming competition doesn't hurt Vegas is quite the understatement. Have you ever googled or researched how much of the market share tribal gaming in California has taken from Vegas since the 90's? I bet not, it's shocking

In my 50's I vacationed in LV for a week 2X a year for 10 years. But turning 60 I quit because of the almost all day air travel ordeal from back east here which I already outlined on other YT Vegas sites. All the Info I see now about LV prices for everything skyrocketing is just Crazy to me. So as far as I'm concerned LV is Been there, Done that. I can drive to Atlantic City door to door in 3hrs flat in my own comfort. AC ain't LV but it'll do.

I have seen several comments in other videos about LV. The complaints were around the fact that they had won jackpots of thousands of dollars. When the machines announced a winner casino goons would rush the machines unplug them telling the winners the slot machine had malfunctioned. There are dozens of stories like this. At one time I was interested to go there but not now. The fees and the cheating people out of winnings turned me off.

[@halecarter7041]

I can’t believe people (including casinos) don’t understand the up and down in revenue: Revenue was drastically down during COVID (duh), and recovered afterward. The worrisome thing is, even with pent up demand (from covid), it appears that revenue has not caught up with pre-COVID levels. One would expect the last two years to be supercharged, and now slacking off - but thats not the case. It’s been good the last two years, but not (given pent up demand), good enough. Whatever the casinos think they are doing to raise demand- it’s not working.

[@bobm2878]

Casinos got greedy. Pure and simple. The new slot machines rob you of your money and do not pay. 6/5 blackjack is robbery. Triple 0 roulette is deceptive. The casinos forgot a primary rule- the players need to win sometime, to keep coming back. No more!

We went in the 80's when it was still affordable! My fathers generation had the best time though! Back then it was a magical place in the 60's.The best shows and incredible buffets! Most times the hotels included the buffets, and they gave you coupons for the other casinos. It was still affordable in the 80's and then they started to gauge everything!! They are so greedy and have really earned the name of "sin city"! Show tickets at the lower end are in the hundreds of dollars and thousands in the high end!! If I go to a casino now,it won't be Las Vegas!! I would support the Indian run ones! Though it's still expensive you don't feel as robbed!And I like the idea of supporting all the Tribes.

Born and raised here in Vegas, and it has gone downhill. Not only did the housing prices skyrocket recently, which led to many of my neighbors relocating, the strip is not only dirty and run-down with homeless people and drug addicts everywhere, everything is too expensive to bother dealing with all the traffic that leads to - overly expensive parking lots. I stay on my side of town up in Summerlin and stick to places like the Red Rock casino and regular restaurants. (Not to mention the ridiculous non-stop road work that doesn’t seem to actually progress at all, but makes the traffic and attitudes worse down that way.)

I was there in Feb. it was odd to see the casinos as empty as they were. Whole pits here and there with nobody playing. Every previous trip Ive been on had much more traffic inside the casinos. Not so many closed tables.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Thanks for sharing! After the Super Bowl (which was a great two weeks!), it was definitely a slow period on the Strip.

[@5GreenAcres]

Gone are the days when you would hear all the machines and the coins dropping and people rooting for each other and the joyous screams when they win. To come home and share their joyous experience to friends and neighbors. Now....Yes it was fun and beautiful but expensive is what you hear.

[@5GreenAcres]

I hate what Vegas has turned into. I can't understand why anyone goes. The reason people used to go was to go and play the slots and gamble and enjoy cheap eats. Now it is just a playground for the uber rich. No thanks.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Thanks, you can still find cheap spots, but it’s tougher!

[@areyoulying4937]

Hopefully the high speed rail will do better than it did in California…

[@wayne387]

Station casinos are just as tight if not tighter than casinos on the strip. The entire city is owned by 3 families it’s a corporate dump

[@lindat6623]

Wow! THIS was a lot of info. Thanks for keeping us locals informed ❤

[@TurnItUpWorld]

You are very welcome Linda! Your support means a lot to us!! Thanks!

It's not the same out here. I live here in 2017 to 2019. I. The weekends the strip was packed. I just moved back in June n it's dead . Prices are ridiculous. 20 bucks to park. 45 valet. Come on if I pay ur resort fee wtf I gotta pay 20 for parking each night . I pray things get better .

[@TurnItUpWorld]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lightdancer2251]

I lived in Vegas twice, used to visit with my sister after I moved, I've always had a love hate relationship with Vegas. I hear from a lot of people that Vegas is just expensive and super getto now so that is disappointing....

[@whiv]

Vegas is going to be a totally different vibe soon

[@5GreenAcres]

It already is.

[@senyahirol]

I meant your RV Life channel, Letsturnitupworld. 😊👍🏼

[@selenaphillips6971]

The decline is due to parking fees, hidden tax and junk fee you see on your receipt, and resort fees.

[@marinabrola]

It's not just on the strop the housing market and cost of living are higher than ever before as well.

[@Mianedabe]

Finally, someone you can hook up with, Weird Al is somebody u can relate too.

[@robertmacpherson6715]

Turning the greatest adult oasis in the world into Disneyland with gambling , add themany ridiculous fees and greatly increase in prices from bottled water to entertainment is hurting the middle class desire to travel to Vegas. Add more crime in and out of casino, more vagrant interference to visitors. We used to go 2-3 times a year taking advantage of great MLife rewards The reward programs are no way nea that good today. So, it is not a surprise visitors don’t have the funds to gamble and revenue is down. It was great fun while it lasted (40+ visits) but it is over for us .

[@5GreenAcres]

Same here. 3-4 times per year. Not anymore. No desire to go at all.

[@delcodave]

how was anyone able to see the drone show if there was no viewing area and spectators were forbidden in the area?

[@TurnItUpWorld]

That’s a great question! While there were not official public viewing areas, many people in Vegas were on the streets to watch the show from a distance beyond the blocked off areas. We actually live-streamed the event and had a great time. If you are interested, here is the link to our livestream: kzbin.infozeYvtJJcBos

Not surprised about the drop in revenues..surprised it wasn't sooner..for the last few year's, people have been going into debt to vacation..not smart..but..this tells you the economic condition of the county. Vegas has gotten too expensive and not everything needs to be a luxury mega resort. Eventually it ends and I'm hoping this starts the end of the "new" and much less improved Vegas!!

[@largol33t1]

It'll never happen. look at the car industry. They have absolutely refused to reasonably price vehicles for the last 3 years and they're not budging this year either. I saw GM light pickups priced at $45-50K and you don't even get a V6 or V8 with them! Saw Honda Accords priced at $45-50K. Toyota full size SUVS went as high as $65K. Despicable. And the stealerships are NOT selling cars. This year so far, I have seen only three of the Ford Maverick trucks, which Ford's CEO claimed was going to "revolutionize the market for affordable trucks." Nope. The customers are walking away from deals because every stealership slaps them with a $4,000 markup when their custom truck finally arrives. Of course the customers got angry and walked off. The trucks just rot away on the lots. And that's just one small part of the economy. Housing is out of control with prices double and TRIPLING. Yes, my parent's old house was put on the market last year and the person they sold it to wanted THREE times what it was worth. It isn't even 990 sq feet and the owner wanted over $300K for it! I doubt it sold.

[@5GreenAcres]

@@largol33t1 Nobody wants all the Y fi in the cars either. Radiation exposure too great. We hate the auto shut off at stop lights, we hate the push button start, we hate the LED blinding lights.

[@andrewfurie5647]

Vegas has priced themselves out of my market, to expensive to be fun.

[@arlenefox558]

john fogerty, hell yeh! thanks for all the info!

[@TurnItUpWorld]

You’re very welcome Arlene! We would love to see Fogerty again too!! We listen to CCR a lot especially during our road trips.
