It used to be a whimsical place where you could go for cheap, see amazing things for free (Luxor volcano, pirate ship battle etc), eat like a king, play a few slots, pit boss would comp you some show tickets if you were playing the tables.

Now it’s a rich game. The theme casinos replaced by bleh. No magic, no nostalgia. They don’t even have magicians anymore. David Copperfield is so old he ca barely move.

It’s ruined by corporate greed
