1. Preposterous Prices: A simple breakfast on the strip will run you $50. A nice gourmet dinner for two can easily cost $500 no problem. Las Vegas shows used to be the best deals in the country. Now they will cost you hundreds of dollars. Thanks to record high inflation, everyone is using that as a reason to jack up their prices even more.

2. Fees/Nickel and Diming for Everything: Tons of hidden and unexpected fees for everything. Ordering a meal? Pay a concession fee on top of your bill. Want to park at the hotel you're staying at? Get ready to pay for that privilege. Then there's the actual resort fee for staying at the hotel, which is sometimes even more expensive than the room itself. Instead of lowering fees or getting rid of them, many hotels are actually raising fees.

3. Crappy Customer Service: Businesses are understaffed. Even if you have a reservation at a restaurant, you might wait 30 minutes to get seated and then wait another 30 minutes before a server actually takes your order. Even the airport is understaffed now.

4. Crime: Although Vegas has always had crime, it's actually getting worse to the point that tourists are noticing. Violent crime is especially going up. It's no longer just off the strip.

5. Gambling Sucks Now: Odds are even more in favor of the house, and the odds of you winning anything only keeps going down.

Crime is the same everywhere else. And theres more to Vegas than getting nickel and dimed. You can easily avoid most of that stuff by staying away from tourist traps

If you're planning to go to Vegas and not spend money, you're doing it wrong.
Vegas is a party city. Yes it's pricy because you're really supposed go have fun for a weekend.

But fuck resort fees though.

Pretty much, don't consider Vegas a good place for anything but spending.

I went last year and it was my first visit. Basically everything was as expected. Costs weren't inflated beyond what I expect from being in a bullshit tourist area.

Yeah geniuses were spending thousands to travel and spend even more thousands to gamble. Only now is it a waste of money.

And btw, all of that cheap food that was in Vegas is absolute trash tier food lol. Pony up and get good food. The reason its expensive is because the last couple years, Vegas has changed its image. There are many famous chefs establishing restaurants on the strip. Professional sports coming in, its trying to go away from the sleazy look. Go to Fremont for that

ironically I went to a steak house on my last trip with my ex while our friends went to the buffet and we both ended up with food poisoning lol.

not that Id let that stop me from doing it again next time but I thought it was pretty funny once I stopped vomiting my intestines after a few days.

Gambling has always sucked and food really isn't that expensive. Shouldn't be eating on the strip anyways, the restaurants there are like a decade behind compared to the rest of the city. They're making progress at least tho.

Vegas not being a cheap vacation anymore doesn't mean you shouldn't go. Vegas fucking rocks.
