***VIDEO *** Vegas in trouble

[DenaliDemocrat]

14. Vegas nickel and dimed every one to death.

A good gaming experience, cheap drinks, some good entertainment, and lots of unique architecture have given way to the corporate greed.

No coffee in the rooms. A damned slice of pizza is $15. No comps. I gambled a few thousand dollars over a five day stay and I NEVER saw a hand pay on the strip. Not one. The slots are dog shit. 3/2 blackjack is gone. Now it is 6/5. Every roulette wheel now has a 000 in addition to 0 and 00. $5 craps - hah! Try to find a table less than $20 if you can actually find a table with a dealer to behind with. The shows suck. I can only watch so many Cirque shows - they are all the same. A bunch of Eastern European acrobats running around at a frenetic pace. The Tournament of Kings (one of my favorite shows) hasn’t been updated in years. Only Penn and Teller change their shows yearly. David Copperfield is still good - but he’s too damned old to be doing this anymore. You can only have so much flair after your fifth spinal fusion.

The magic is gone. MGM killed it.
