Absolutely horrific! 

There are shills on the forum promoting "Vegas" and every aspects of what "Vegas" is. These shills are liars, decievers, and swindlers! 

Real "Vegas" experience is nothing like how you would hope to be or what you have seen on TV. "Vegas" your grandfather once knew is gone! 

"Vegas" today is filled with filth and undesirable experience. Every aspect of "Vegas" will leave you with horrible experience of staying there. Even for a few days. 

The truth may told "Vegas" is losing money. The bottom line doesn't equate out to how it would have been 10 or 20 years ago. The truth be also told that "Vegas" deserve to loose money and shrinkage on their profit margin because of their unethical business tactics. "Vegas" will now do anything they can to promote with shills to tout "Vegas" experience. 

I understand that "a sucker is born every minute". If you have read this thread along with previous other threads and posts about "Vegas", you will get a glimpse of how horrible your "Vegas" experience would be like. And if you still decide to go and lose your sense of self-worth, I believe you truly are a moron. I cannot stop or will not be able to stop you. So go and experience it for yourself if you decide to. 

After all, every boy and girl of 21 years old and above should experience "Vegas" once in their life time, right? 

"Vegas" is just a catchy name now folks. Nothing more to it but filth, bums, and train wrecks of the world go there now. Absolute utter non sense to go there and waste your life.

Hell the Las Vegas I knew in the 1980's and 90's in long gone. the monolog at the end of the movie "Casino" says it all "The Town will Never Be the Same" absolutely true >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90PlZv6QooI

When i go now i dont go anywhere close to the center of the strip. The porn slappers, homeless people, costumed characters, CD pushers are enough to make me want to run. Mandalay Bay or off-strip for me.

Off strip is the way to go. I stay at the Orleans and only go to the strip to walk around one afternoon.

well "The Town will Never Be the Same" being said there is STILL no other place I would rather live than Las Vegas, Nevada for the LOW tax rate (NO State Income Tax. LOW property taxes) and relatively LOW cost of living for food and housing. we are also a 24 hour "free city" where you can go get a beer at 3 am in the morning if you want one

the Mrs and I just STAY AWAY from the Vegas "Strip" ripoff joints. and go to our local casinos like South Point, Green Valley Ranch and Sunset Station. the Westgate has some "Old Las Vegas" deals for locals like their buffet for $5 IF you have a Nevada ID and Player's Card with points and other "Off Strip" casinos like Ellis Island have some really good food deals

LRR, I do understand that you are a retiree, and this is a subject seldom mentioned, every place you mentioned is a pensionier's dream, especially if your a disciplined sports-bettor that WINS more than he loses..no state tax, Pastrami sandwiches at Ellis (I love'm) I can see where you're coming from, and why LV would be a fun place to retire....for some

btw, what did you do for a living? befor retirement; if I may ask...

the nba all star game years ago was the turning point of this town heading downhill.
Go to 4386 escondido st, in the unlv area and see the real las vegas.

Common man.  I am only 33 years old and have only been there 4-5 times.  But dude it sounds like youve never been to any other city and have no sense of reality.  It aint Vegas that turned to what you claim.  Its pretty much every major city.  Some better then others and obviously Vegas will draw more of the less fortunate with all the money, the weather etc.  But Vegas is the mofoing $hit man.  If you cant go to Vegas and have a blast thats on you not Vegas.  Thats a fact.  If you wanna see a shithole come to Detroit my man.   Case Closed.

Ya weird thread,  I love Vegas and return at least on a year for almost 20 years.  It's a great cheap place to fly and stay, not so much now at 30 cents on the dollar, but offers up some of the best restaurants concerts golf courses and on and on and on, bars, girls, fast cars, rodeos, whatever your into.  I like food, golf, poker, sports books,  get in get out, have a blast.  I find it weird especially this day in age with the www and all that people get surprised when they land in a different city on vacation only to find it isn't really what they were looking for.  That being said, Vegas I love you, count downs on only 19 days till I see you again.  Can't wait. Peace
See you at the window.

Vegas is not for everyone. Definitely not for pessimists. 

Some people hate baseball and golf, is that mean they're bad?
stupid people are greater threat to society than criminals.

Hit Vegas two or three times a year.  Once for March Madness, which always occurs during spring break so Vegas is over the top wild that weekend.  Once during football, once during baseball.   Cosmo my fav hotel but Aria, Wynn and Venetian are all solid.  Don't know why anyone would ever wander around on the blvd - i wouldn't even walk from cosmo to aria but to each their own.  

Great food, great clubs and sportsbooks with big stacks of cash.  

What's not to like?

Yeah, OP probably bu#hurt he blew his unemployment check on one hand of "Casino War" at McCarran.......

Vegas effin' rules!!!!!!! I think it's the only city in the world that would accommodate all the following vacation itineraries:

*Are you bringing the wife and kids and want to ride a big a$$ ferris wheel, go to a water park, hit some kid friendly events, and see some kid friendly shows all on a budget? - Check

Are you a high roller looking to enjoy the finest food, wine, lodging, etc....... - Check

Are you a young couple looking for a weekend of fun, dancing, partying, until literally all hours of the morning? - Check 

Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties? - Super Check - I had mine there

C'mon - Cheap/Free Drinks, smoke/drink where you want, hookers a few miles away if that's your thing.......

Finally - Are you a gambling degenerate looking for someone to take action on your "Sure Thing" in women's bobsledding? - Check

Give it another chance - I'm sure you'll meet some buck-tooth "4" from Kansas willing to take you "Around The World" (happened to a friend of mine). Good Luck.
