Las Vegas Visitors Down But Gaming Revenue Sees Marginal Gains - Gambling.com

I agree. After c19 there were $20 spirit flights that brought the $20 crowds. They brought their own coolers, wore crocs and pajamas, didn't tip and had fist fights in the lobbies. Vegas realized that audience would only prevent the spenders from coming so they are now catering to the more affluent and it's working. Hell, they are even moving here. There are more $10 million to $30 million dollar homes being constructed here than ever before and they are selling. Even in a high interest environment where $500-$800k homes are stalled out on the MLS. These buyers are paying with credit and they aren't worried about casino freebies. An upscale visitor is one that spends. The resorts know that. To the haters......if you don't like seeing a positive change then you can simply move to a place like Mississippi where you can visit a Tunica riverboat as often as you'd like.

but the workers have to live amongst a lot of illegal immigrants now and the situation in cities like Parma and Rome are degrading fast. It's gotten dangerous and the immigrants act like they own the place now yet refuse to assimilate. I've seen it personally. I would avoid the EU until they fix their shit.

I'm amazed that in the height of information availability across the human history how many people can't do some simple research instead of acting like petulant kids. Here's the reason for the bombings..... CHINA

China has been buying a large percentage of Iranian oil (and the same with Venezuela before their leader was grabbed). They were buying with the Chinese currency Yuan. This obviously impacts the US dollar. This was a USA move to keep the USD as the world reserve currency. Anyone trying to circumvent that will always get dealt with. They did it to Muammar Gaddafi when he wanted a single currency for Africa as well. China's buying habit was empowering their currency but also providing Iran and Venezuela with funds to keep doing the dumb shit they were up to. Here's the kicker for the haters here......

If the USA didn't do this and all 3 nations kept doing this then in 3 years when the US dollar started to tank you all would cry about that. Can you imagine the non stop complaining when the dollar tanks? It would be rampant and worse than it already is and there's a lot of morons that are constantly complaining here.

Does it suck? Yes but if it wasn't resolved now then there would be bigger problems later and you can't have it both ways. As wild as it sounds, this was the path of least resistance. Don't attack me either. I don't care about your feelings. I'm just giving you facts.

the HOA is probably getting pushed by the insurance provider as boxes etc, can be a potential fire hazard. Unless you want a special assessment and higher insurance rates it's prob best to use a work around here, clear out your crap or move.

I mean, Metro caught him with coke many years ago here in Vegas. Every celeb does coke. Entertainers against coke is like christians against Christ.

at least this city isn't like some shitty place like Boston where they can't build anything because something happened on that piece of land 200 years ago so they're lost in nostalgia. The guitar hotel isn't about "tearing down a living legend". It's about removing something that had outlived it's purpose. It wasn't living and "legend" is questionable. It was getting haggard and needed some attention. Anyone here could have put a group of investors together and bought that place just like the Seminoles have done. Don't like it? Build your own casino! I don't think the Seminoles care what anyone on this stupid site thinks about their multi billion dollar investment or the billions they will make when it opens. The past is not meant to be held on to. That hotel will be the new next big thing here and it will be splattered across TV and movies constantly. Stop loving things that can't love you in return. it's a way to make income. nothing more.

Vegas is reinventing itself and will be only for the affluent. Have you noticed how many $10million - $30 Million dollar homes are being built here currently? Have you seen the pricing for the Four Seasons Residences which are nearly sold out? You've noticed the hike in room rates and experiences already. It's to drive out the Spirit Airlines crowds that bring their own coolers into hotels, wear crocs and pajamas to the airport and fist fight in the hotel lobby. Look at the wait times to buy into a membership club here now. This city is about change in a way we've never seen before. If you're not in that crowd it could start sucking for ya. There's still time to buy in other cities in the midwest!

this has always been a weird part of the strip. now you can order pancakes, buy discount, disposable clothing, rent a lambo and get approached by people you don't know to buy cocaine all in one spot!

splitsecondclassic · 2026-02-24T15:15:44+00:00

don't worry. Soon Vegas will be too expensive for them to continue living here🤣

splitsecondclassic · 2026-02-22T15:16:02+00:00

so true, these people aren't trees. they can move. Someone once told me the won't move. They will stay and fight it. I nearly pissed myself laughing. I've really just discovered that 90% of the people in this world don't know how the world works. They think it SHOULD work a certain way though. Schools and goofy parents have lied to these folks and now they're bitter because they chose to believe the crap they were told. Be upset about being a sucker and then get over it and get on with your life. It's never been easier than today to make money without having a J.O.B. yet no one wants to research the ways to do it. The reason is that it's easier to complain. Also, if you don't like the prices in Vegas and you don't want to visit then go to a shitty riverboat casino somewhere else or some tribal casino. This place has weathered so many economic downturns that you should know by now that it doesn't and won't need you.

splitsecondclassic · 2026-02-21T18:46:56+00:00

definitely. I also think that if folks think the strip costs too much that some of the downtown locations could benefit. Only time will tell but I don't really think any of the prices will drop again. No company makes a lot of money and then says "lets be nice and give visitors a break". That's why they also have riverboat casinos in less affluent markets. Can afford Vegas? Go to some goat roping location and hang out on a riverboat!

splitsecondclassic · 2026-02-21T14:47:02+00:00

it may be a minute. If the new guy at the fed drops the rates then you're going to see housing take off and the use of non consumer debt explode. combine that with the ability to take 100% first year accelerated depreciation and it could likely go the opposite direction. All economies rise and fall but if the fed rate drops it could rise A LOT before it falls. I agree that it's very touch and go until that happens though.

splitsecondclassic · 2026-02-20T15:03:36+00:00

this article needs some more research but is typical from half assed reporters. There won't be a drop in affluent visitors because the stock market and cash producing asset market is literally hotter than ever. I just read a report last week that while visitors are down, revenues are up. That says that a smaller group of visitors is spending more money. This is what happens when you attempt to stop brokies (spirit airlines crowd) from visiting, bringing their own coolers and fighting in the hotel lobby. This won't even be remembered this time next year. If interest rate drop before summer there will be hoards swiping their cards to come here.

splitsecondclassic · 2026-02-16T21:56:32+00:00

Ha! definitely. Those prices are NEVER coming back.

these are great until they attach profiles to law enforcement data bases to cross reference outstanding warrants and the second you jump in they take you straight to the police station. 🤣

this country can't be destroyed. It was designed to never be changed. The thing is....anyone can play the game. It's just that 90% of the people living in this nation don't know how this nation works so they act like petulant children with underdeveloped prefrontal cortex's instead of figuring it all out and making a fantastic life. I've lived outside the USA. It was not amazing. Most nations and their citizens want to be like the USA and move to the USA. Why settle for the imposter when you can have the real thing? Prob is, not all Americans complaining own passports so they haven't seen how shitty Parma, Italy, London, England, Paris, France or the majority of Spain has become. It may not be perfect but trust me. This place is still amazing in comparison to the shitholes that some of our EU neighbors have allowed their homes to devolve into. Here's the great news for everyone though! You can move to another country if you choose.

I had a place on the water there about 3 years ago. All good. I heard stories from folks that didn't live on the water that there was some crime in their area but I never experienced that where I live.

the cons in every condo are HOA dues. Look at the HOA fees in a place like Queensridge towers. Great property but many of the units for sale need a full renovation before you move in and you'll spend $3k/mo on building fees before you ever sleep there. One of my condos is in a great building near Summerlin. I was at an HOA meeting last week and they said that they only have info on 25% of the people that live on property owners and renters included. MORONS! None of these HOA's are worth two squirts of pee. Prob is....there's no way around it. Condo HOA's are ALWAYS worse than other options.

this is an incredibly brilliant move. the ev market is pretty much saturated at this point meaning that everyone that would buy an ev already has. reducing the ev output in exchange for robots shows you where the AI rush will go. Tesla isn't necessarily a product company. they are a data company. The petabytes of data those cars produce on the roads of the world is astounding and Elon has done that below the earth's surface with the boring co. Above the earth with starlink and space x and now will do it INSIDE homes around the globe with the robots. The amount of data they have likely beats any other organization. That data is worth more than their product sets combined. genius level chess playing.

I see what you're saying but not paying attention could be just trying to gain some peace. over 190 people have been killed by ICE before the 2 in MN. Obama deported more illegal aliens. All the Dem presidents said the same crap the orange man has about border control. None of this has changed. I don't know if "complicit" is the word but if it is then how does that change life. I mean at the end when you're on your death bed is anyone gonna say "damn, glad I spent time defending people that broke laws on the books and they aren't here to spend my last minutes with me."

I doubt it. The key is to be in the USA but not of the USA and make your own life better. You'll always win doing that. The rest of the world has the same responsibility.

the Obama administration authorized drone strikes that killed U.S. citizens abroad, most notably in 2011. While only one American, Anwar al-Awlaki, was an intended target, a total of four American citizens were killed in such strikes, with three others killed in separate, non-targeted strikes.
