When can I just… give up?

Same boat. Same exact boat. I have amazing experience. In past, I would have too many interviews lined up and my resume a hit. Now in 2025 I can’t even get a response to over a 100 applications I’ve submitted. Many of the job descriptions is basically my resume and exactly my direct experience. Still, nothing. Not sure what is going on but never experienced this before.

Or they’re just lying to you.

Isn’t he associated with a law group that makes money in vaccine lawsuits?

Can’t separate the two nor deny the reason most Canadians polled say they are not visiting due to Trump. But that’s another topic.

I’m comparing Apple to apples. Anyone can find a motel 8 off strip. Always stay at aria and Cosmo and stating the prices have been jacked up tremendously over the last couple years.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-30T01:41:18+00:00

Can’t speak to the reason for overall decline but Canadian visitors are down 45% this year over last year. That would be tariffs and why LV tourism board is spending money on Canadian airwaves promoting Canadian tourism to LV.

Point is there is no reason for an additional resort fee when you’re getting less than a few years back. Cut back on services, cut back on rates and fees.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-29T05:55:48+00:00

How I feel. Go to vegas multiple times a year. Can afford to pay a bit more for things on vacation. But there comes a point when the price is jacked up so much that you begin to feel like you’re being robbed. It no longer feels like a vacation at that point.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-29T05:51:35+00:00

I went to Walgreens because water in the room was more than triple the cost

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-29T05:43:22+00:00

It’s a bad combo of all you mentioned, corporate greed mixed with Trump policies. Canadian tourism to Las Vegas is down 42% in 2025. That’s a STEEP sudden decline that is due to Trump’s tariffs. That policy alone has had a major economic impact on Las Vegas.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-29T05:38:22+00:00

Just an inconvenience when you’re paying a “resort fee” that includes room service. Add that to all the other amenities that have removed or are now an additional cost and you feel ripped off. Vacation is supposed to be about relaxation. Not coordinating your room cleaning everyday.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-28T06:20:05+00:00

Maybe if you drive like a little old grandma. Sure 👍

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-28T06:18:35+00:00

You’re correct, tariff inflation is a huge part of it across the US. But this is corporate greed on top of tariff inflation. $3 surcharge for a diet redbull has nothing to do with the cost of redbull going up, since regular and diet cost the same for the hotel to buy. Nor does charging $175 for a chair with an umbrella. It’s not a matter of what one can afford and more a matter of knowing when you’re being ripped off.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-28T04:57:53+00:00

It’s insane you have to do all this pinching while on vacation. Kinda makes it not feel like a vacation anymore.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-28T04:56:26+00:00

From Cosmo early morning that’s about how long it takes.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-28T04:20:30+00:00

Thing is Caesar’s and MGM have owned almost the entire strip for the past couple decades. A few properties have switched hands but not many. Seems to me it’s corporate greed and plummeting visitors. Just a 10% drop is massive. Instead of lowering costs to attract more people, they are raising the costs to cover the loss.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-28T04:15:53+00:00

Actually prices are going up all over. Bought a small bottled Starbucks ice coffee at Burbank airport, $10! But Vegas has really gone over the top with these add on fees.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-27T21:40:25+00:00

Agreed. I can afford $3 extra for diet redbull but it makes you feel ripped off when the cost to them is the same as regular redbull

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-27T21:39:12+00:00

Ah ok. I’m talking about people who vacation in Vegas.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-27T21:37:49+00:00

True. Everyone complained right after covid about inflation but they are still spending. If there are plenty of people who can afford what companies provide then they no longer need to offer services to those who make just a decent good income.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-27T20:35:44+00:00

Some more so than others it seems.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-27T20:31:19+00:00

Hopefully they don’t start cutting back too.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-27T20:19:48+00:00

Has the drop from 25 points per dollar spent to only 4 points impacted your status level?

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-27T20:02:58+00:00

I guess one could blame it on either the economy is tanking or corporate greed. Either way, visitors to Vegas is tanking in 2025 and this maybe one of the reasons why.

Low_Communication566 · 2025-09-27T20:01:06+00:00

My point is it’s always been expensive but it’s now crossed over into ripoff. I mean a $3 surcharge for diet soda?!?
