12. LAs Vegas transitioned from a value vacation to an exclusive vacation

Instead of cheap buffets and comped shows, with the revenue being centered on gambling, Vegas kind of flipped somewhere in the last 10 or so years. Was shocked at how high end things seemed when I was there a couple years ago. Seemed they were catering more to the jet setter crowd with high end restaurants and clubs, added fees, and just a different overall experience.

But with international tourism grinding to a halt, you're going to see it reorganize itself now soon IMO.
