You know what's weird? I'm kind of drifting into your mindset, but from the perspective of "When I was going in the 2010's." I feel like I am getting priced out now. I guess there are multiple generation gaps. I reckon the "When I was going in the 60's" crowd" has been suffering even longer, haha. Vegas in the 90's must have been something else. You still had the classics like Stardust and Riviera, but Mirage and Bellagio were brand new. And Rio was still considered elite! By the way, this issue seems even worse in Atlantic City. I started going when Atlantic City was considered "dead." The nationwide betting apps and reward programs have changed everything!

My husband & I used to go one or two times a year. We’d most of the time get a comped room even if we were there during the weekend. With all the changes going on & prices skyrocketing we just haven’t had the desire to go back. The fact you can’t stop on a bridge anymore or increasing the resort fees etc puts a sour taste in our mouth. It used to be our fun place. The walking the strip daily. No care about what time it was. Maybe 2020 killed that for us but I can think about the money we spend at home & the money my husband can win gambling on a local casino site from the comfort of our bedroom. It’s always nice to get woken to “Hunnee I just won , 5, 10, even 20 grand”. Odds were against us in Vegas. We are gamblers & if we feel the need for a night out we will go to a local one. So for now if we ever do change our minds & visit Vegas again we will in the meantime live vicariously through “turn it up world “!

this was strictly aimed AT TOURISTS to keep them from watching the F1 races for free.. period.. not the people selling water on the lil bridges.. at the Tourists themselves. should be clearly illegal, as its a public walkway, you have the right to STOP< catch your breath, relax a bit, etc. i am 100% against the scammy pushy fake monks trying to give you $30 beads for free , the fake showgirls trying to snag you for $30-40 for a crappy photo with some saggy 20 or 30 something, etc. but this nonsense WAS aimed at people Because of the F1 racing people.. they demanded the views be obliterated, prevented, etc.. nobody watches F1 for free on their watch.

Once you pull up the app and log in they ask to see the phone or physically take it out of your hand to look at it and transfer money to an account, then hand you back the phone say thnak you so much and leave

If you accidentally disturb something on the minibar, you can check your TV to see if it was charged. If it was, call the front desk and they will remove the charge. I suppose they could refuse, but you would then request someone come see that the item was not consumed and they probably don't want to deal with all that.

I was lucky to get a deal at the Cosmo for a great price and 0 resort fees. Also they just started charging valet fees for hotel guests but I guess they hadn't quite figured it out yet because the hotel desk told me they would charge me at the valet and the vaket said they would charge me through the hotel and neither of them charged me so I got out of that. But they got me with the early check in fee.

I stopped coming to Vegas a couple of years ago because of all the nonsense fees. For 30 years I was a loyal customer and spent a LOT of money there......But now I feel like they have just taken all that for granted. I get that they have lots of folks still coming and they most likely don't miss me and that's fine. For now, Laughlin will get my business. But even Laughlin is trying to squeeze a few extra dollars out of me on resort fees so, the Indian casinos around the country are looking better and better!!

With the Time Share they actually had a booth in Excalibur. They came out with you can see free shows and eat at restuarants throughout the Strip. I fell for it and the man at the Time Share was so rude and agressive. I was like, I'm not buying anything after a three to four hour presentation. I was anxious to get back to the Strip because the Time Share was not close and I had to take an Uber. Furthermore, after all, only certain restuarants were free (all in Excalibur) and they were not the best. The Italian restuarant wasn't that good and the sports bar was ok. So please beware of this scam. They also have a desk at The Venetian.

Here are my personal rules of thumb when walking the Vegas strip or any other busy touristy area to avoid all this b.s. they are talking about. Firstly, walk in straight line looking like you know where you are going with purpose. In fact wear sunglasses when possible so it doesn't look like you are making eye contact. Making eye contact is an invitation. Secondly, completely ignore anyone who approaches you. Don't engage. Don't take anything they may try to give you. Keep walking. Look tough and uninterested. Thirdly, stay off your phone for many other obvious reasons.

Great tips! This isn’t technically a scam, but MGM and other properties tie up $100 per night for a room deposit. I use a debit card to pay, and so I recently had to wait a few business days to get my $500 back from a five night stay. Just very inconvenient and excessive. This isn’t an issue for credit card users.

I would not say the early check-in fee is a scam. I take the red-eye flight to Vegas and have checked into my room as early as 7am for an additional 40 dollars. That's worth it. I have done this on my last 5 trips. Now, 40 dollars to check-in at 11am when normal check-in is at 3? Depends on how tired i am.

Agreed the hotel rates used to be cheap to attract people to gamble. But not anymore! Now I only go if my room is comped. I will pay the $50 resort fee or whatever for my room at the Bellagio.

You did not mention The cabs with the conveniently broken credit card machine. I first encountered this in Seattle where the cabbies are very aggressive.. You will get into the cab thinking that their credit card machine works fine and they'll tell you that it works until you stop and then The machine magically doesn't work anymore and they'll ask you for cash hoping that you have a large bill and won't ask for change. Prior to this trip I had had great luck with vegas cabbies, But this time I ran into the same type that I ran into in Seattle so I wasn't expecting it and lost 20 bucks for an 11 buck ride

In Germany we say "der Kunde ist König" which means something like "the customer is the king".. but to be honest, Vegas doesn't feel like that anymore. I's more like "money is the king, customers are changeable". Why not at least let guests of the hotel park for free (well free is the wrong word since we are paying more than 50$ resort fee a night).. just as an example. Also hate the argument that covid is responsible for most of these things - feels more like they are using covid as an excuse to squeeze the lemon even further if you see the the current numbers they are making since covid.. Nevertheless, still loving the city, 7 days to go till the next trip..

Buddhist here. I dont want to break a person’s bread bowl but i dislike people tricking/scamming people. How you know those arent real monks: 1. Wearing normal clothes. I mean there can be people that help get donations for temples, but they usually walk around passive aggressively making people donate like that. Its usually “donate or no? Ok thank you” no items, bo exchanges, nothing. 2. Real monks dont beg, or in this case scam people with trinkets. Most monks ive met usually sit or stand in one spot all day meditating with a donation box set in front. Theres a religious connotation in this. When you beg or trick people into donating/helping you, you build up karma that you have to repay either later on or in next life. Which defeats the whole point of being a monk, which is to escape the cycle of reincarnation.

I really don't understand why folks be hating on people just trying to make a buck? It's not like these "scammers" are breaking into people's homes or knocking people over the head.

I dont worry bout it....I stay NO PLACE that has resort fees...Not ever, even just one time wherever that place may be....I can find way to many just as descent places to stay without paying these fees where folks are gland to have you spend your money with them WITHOUT the arrogance of trying to gouge you....Uber, dont use it, never have ...Never will....As far as someone soliciting me whether it be for a donation or time share or what have you....That only goes on for about 5 seconds...You dont want to hear how i fix that one as there have been times when it aint pretty....But always effective....I believe that in this day and age, a person that doesnt totally stay on top of things and the situation, are the ones most like to be scammed....Perfect example , weekend after the super bowl was in Reno in the RV...Wanted to stay at Grand sierra resort for $60 a nite for 3 nites....With a resort fee, Resort fee tax, & tourism fee, that $60 a nite turned into $93 a nite...And this was just for an RV spot, not a room.....You can imagine my response....Told em forget about it, went down the road to boomtown, spent $53 a nite there with no resort fees whatsover paying less than half of what i would have at Grand Sierra , and spent my gambling money and meals money there instead....See how that works....?? Its not hard with just a little bit of determination and flexibility on your part....Otherwise, pay the fees, I shall not....
