Vegas has gotten way too greedy. Take the $400/night hotel room (on weekends) and add the $70 resort fee and $40 parking, the $26 bottle of water, and the $25 breakfast, $35 lunch, and $60 dinner and that's just way more than I want to spend.

In the 20th century, Pete Rose was shut out of the hall of fame because he gambled on sports*. Now you can see or hear commercials for the official sports betting app of MLB or NFL etc. Gamblers can easily get their fix outside of Vegas. *Which is fine. "Conflict of Interest" should be a thing.

If you win $100,000 and lose $100,000 in the same year, under the current system, you won’t need to pay any taxes whatsoever. But according to the “Big Beautiful Bill”, in 2026, you’ll be able to deduct only $90,000. Essentially, you’ll owe taxes on the remaining $10,000.

There is no need to visit Vegas any more. Casino gambling is legal in 44 states, sports gambling is in 38 states online gambling is available legal or illegally in every state and the shows tour.

Foreign air travel into Vegas was 7% in 2019, which obviously doesn't account for people connecting elsewhere / coming from other US destinations. So yea, I'd say this is an easy one.

It’s not ice, it’s not the insane parking fees, it’s not the high hotel costs. Vegas isn’t cheap anymore. The show prices are ridiculous. Why go there to gamble when you can gamble somewhere else and see great shows elsewhere at a reasonable cost. Freaking absinthe was 223 dollars per person.

When I was younger, I always thought it'd be cool to go to Vegas for a week, but I couldn't afford it. Now I could maybe afford it, but I regularly see stories of people from the UK being denied entry to the US simply because they made a mean tweet about Trump. It's not safe to visit the USA.

To be clear, the *best* case scenario here is that they detain us at the border, run through our social media, realise we're not fascists, and send us home, we lose a few thousand dollars in travel costs and hotel costs, and two days of our life to air travel. The best case.
