When did Vegas become a rich people only town?

Last time I was here (15 years ago) everything was cheap, blackjack games had good rules, low table limits, free ATM withdrawals, no resort fees and streets were packed with young people having a good time

Now they want $30 for a hamburger, $20 fee to withdraw from an ATM and blackjack games are all $50 minimum with 6:5?

What a clown town, this is well over and above inflation, this is something else

Past 5-8 years private equity got in there and started catering to only the rich. Had an uber driver who seemed like a legit entrepreneur getting screwed in a divorce give me a full breakdown. It adds up.

I work in Entertainment and find myself in Vegas more than the average person. It's always a drag because 1) being in Vegas for longer than 2-3 days is a lot, 2) eating out is so expensive

The corporations figured out it was more profitable to cater to the ultra wealthy than plebs. It’s so much worse than it used to be. F1 was the final straw.

Maybe the mafia left, and the beaurocrats have run amuck?

all the locals are saying “bring back the mob” because publicly traded companies are far worse.

They hold a lot of conferences, now. Even the federal government has big ones there, that my relatives attend.

Tourism dried up during the pandemic, this is the result.

Private equity bought all the big casinos in 2018-2020 and refinanced the shit out of them at new "values". Millennials and Zoomers don't gamble as much on the floor so they have to make the revenue elsewhere

It was better when it was run by the mob. Now it’s run by private equity.
