we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame

"WORLD, DO YOU WANT TO COME TO AMERICA AND ENJOY OUR AMERICANNESS???!!!"
Bwahahaha
GET YOUR AMERICA!
I laughed at local leaders planning Olympic Water events here, like they really think people Are just dying to come here😆🇺🇲 You can't randomly snatch people off the streets Then invite people come get arrested😵💫 Now, they think charging them up front to be kidnapped off the street helps🥳 I
youtu.be/7uQNPS9v_VU?...
Right!!!!
I’m sure it’s the Progressives fault.
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.
There was a time Vegas was free drinks and cheap buffets to entice you to gamble. Guess that's over.
Really, who would want to come to America? I have been to friendlier countries.
Kids can't even afford avocados... shit, I can't afford avocados.
Those pesky kids wanting decency, morality, integrity!! How DARE they...???
So typical to blame others for your bad ideas.
Gee, I bet FIFA and the IOC are just salivating in anticipation at the potential dollars their expensive, international tournaments here are gonna generate . . .
Plus, oh, you mean the younger Americans who have been priced out of everything? You're saying they can't afford random Vegas trips? Like being surprised a plant died when you never watered it.
Right?!?! 🤷♂️🤷♂️😂
😂 Those goddamned kids and their zero disposable income!
wait people _don’t_ like going to americas ash tray?
Yes, those pesky kids arresting people without due process and sending them to Salvadoran gulags.
Me and most other Canadians I know, young and old, won't travel to the US while its federal government attempts annexation. Something tells me that MAGA folks would not take kindly to a threat to their sovereignty.
Woke Public Ed. Failing to Produce Enough Slot Jockeys
I love that they're like "younger generations are killing Vegas" not "no one can fucking afford to take a trip just to gamble their money right now"
As an Aussie, you could not pay me to visit the 3rd world country in a sex offender's Balenciaga trench coat right now.
They're always blaming "the younger generation" for the death of things they don't do. When are they going to accept that things change. Fads die. New fads take their place. Things you took for granted 45 years ago aren't relevant anymore so, they die.
Also with stagnant wages.. I’m not sure why they’d assume the younger generation has the money to hang out in Vegas. It’s known to be very expensive
Vegas is also pricing itself out of existence.
$20 for a Miller Lite on the strip seems like more of a suicide if you ask me.
Still confused why this newspaper thinks Gen Z/Alpha have an obligation to "save Las Vegas" like its a generational side quest they are all ignoring.
When younger generations do gamble, more of them do it online, and frankly, Las Vegas is just becoming a worse deal every day for gamblers, tourists, and visitors.
Look who owns the new York post and you'll understand
How could millennials do this to us question mark
Definitely the 'older', creepier Americans to blame
Lol, to "blame."
This is why we need to burn legacy media to the ground. Anyone with advertisers will manufacture consent for anyone.
Democracy is ☠️ Federally in America. We need to unite in the name of Democracy. Being cruel never brought greatness. It brings shame. Treating others Equally & fighting for Justice 4 All is where we've ever really shined. 🔥🗽🔥 bsky.app/profile/vlf7...
Historic drops at Disney too - wonder if they’ll also blame that on “the kids”
odd that Canadians who have been threatened with losing their sovereignty, have had their economy attacked to make them yield are not visiting their tormentor nation
Also, what's the point of a gambling city when everyone can gamble everywhere, including on overseas military bases ? Draftkings et al are the source of that specific "problem".
Nope, tourists ain't coming to America. Why would they?
Also not to mention corporations and the government doing everything in their fucking power to make sure the next generations are poorer and poorer
On a serious note- No way in god's green fook should anyone come to america for the world cup or the olympics. No one is safe here. If you lucky you might just get shot standing in line for a hot dog. The Orange Shitgiboon has turned it into a shithole country he's been talking about for year.
This "blame the youngs" phenomenon is so annoying. Hey, here's an idea, you're a business owner, it's your job to figure out how to attract new customers, not the customers' job to support you. If you fail as a business owner, it's not the consumer's fault.
Remember how they get to own everything because they took a "risk"? Hey, so this is how risks go sometimes. That's why they're risks. Oh, no? That's not how it works? When your risk goes south it's actually OUR job to buy shit we don't want to save you?
They're as entitled to their customers as comedians are laughs to their jokes (and notice many of the same people complain about their awful jokes not landing anymore...)
Also annoying how that’s just kinda everywhere. Voting too - it’s no longer the candidates’ responsibility to win votes, they just sit there smugly grinning and demanding we vote for them just because, and when they lose it’s still our fault for not falling in line. You’re right - it is annoying.
Well it might have more to do with the Gestapo marauding the entire country more than us killing Vegas tourism, but I still do not have any desire to go to there at all.
shit, how long until they claim "Millennials are ruining this country! let's deport them all!"
I wonder if they could look at the data from Canadian Airline Vacation Packages of the 3 day weekend Trips to Las Vegas and compare it to years previous in purchases.
(...They obviously Can) before anyone tells me they can lol
And we want to charge a 15k bond too
If you’ve ever talked to people in the casinos in Vegas and Reno you know they’re Canadian. Trump is terrible for tourism
Las Vegas is the city of sin, and they blame young good Christian people for not going in the city created and runned by mafia?!? When GOP will be satisfied?!?
And by kids they obviously mean the now struggling 40 yr old millennials who have been "ruining" society since God created the earth 6k years ago with there "ideas" and "needs", "Like who even Needs a house? I Already have one? 😤"
'blame' is a stupid word to use here as if there's something 'wrong' with not wanting to go to Vegas
I'm sure if they serve avo' on toast in Aligator Alcatraz, we'd see US tourism skyrocket.
11 percent is rookie numbers
Slot Jockeys? Ist das der neue Traumjob für unsere Jugend?
I love how it’s phrased as “to blame” as though there’s something at fault with the youth for not wanting to spend their vacation in an air conditioned nightmare throwing money down a pit. Don’t get me wrong I’m sick enough to enjoy Vegas but if you don’t, the fault is not with you 😆
Tacky and gross just doesn't have the same appeal as it once did
I mean, clearly it’s the fault of younger generations for not blindly propping up the institutions of unfettered wealth. It’s obvious that gambling and its assorted negative consequences are the real victims here.
Thos damn kids!! Wanting to pay for groceries and housing instead of giving it to the needy casinos in Las Vegas. How dare they???
Oh yeah, blame young Americans who don’t gamble or watch Vegas shows. Nevada workers voted for Trump, why? No tax on tips? No tips, no tax.
Why go to Vegas when the casino is in your phone?
Also another article blamed California which reminds me of every article about the UK's shitty economy never mentioning Brexit lol.
"WHY DON'T ANY OF THESE KIDS WE REFUSE TO GIVE JOBS WANT TO GAMBLE!?"
💯
Beat me to it.
Great minds think alike 😅
They are to blame, actually, because Vegas’ standard tables are three times as expensive as they should be so young people are too poor and intimidated to learn to gamble and thus understand and love Las Vegas. The Casino Managers can easily fix this by bringing back $5 tables.
I haven't been to New South Wales, but I've been to Macau, and they very much treat you as honoured guests whose custom is appreciated, and I don't even LIKE gambling.
Funny how right wing media leaves out that Foreign tourism is down because of Trump and Republicans.
Do people think Las Vegas can exist without international tourism?!
Just visited Mexico and my guide wanted to go to Seattle because he lived there for 20 years. He opted not to go because he’s terrified he’ll get disappeared. It’s absolutely disgraceful.
Vegas is the armpit of Uhmurcuh, where you can exceed capacities for anything. However, the people who live and work there, are mostly salt of the earth types.
idk mighta been killing all those old people who are the only americans that actually have disposable income 🤷♂️ #econsky
Imagine hating immigrants and avocado toast so much you try to mass deport millions of people and slam massive tariffs on nations around the world who willingly sell the US goods WE CANT EVEN GROW/MAKE HERE. The dumb. It hurts.
Everyone in Vegas knows that Canadians make up a large percentage of the visitor base. And they’re not visiting any more. Gee I wonder why…
Also I can't possibly concieve of why anyone right now wouldn't be interested in going through TSA security theater to fly on airlines with increasingly dubious safety protocol in order to throw dollars down a black hole in the desert in exchange for well drinks and buffet.
also we have no money to gamble with.
I mean, why wouldn't any of us - what with our job security and piles of discretionary income - visit a desert in the summer?
Why the fuck would I want to come to the middle of the desert to gamble when I can go somewhere else, anywhere else 😂
Canadians are boycotting travel to the USA and Vegas is one of the favourite destinations for many.
Stay SAFE... Stay Away from the USA...
There's no way I'm going, one look at my phones meme collection and the ICEholes be up my ass. Plus measles is a big no no
Investing in today's stock market is enough of an adrenaline-fueled gamble.
To be fair, it’s hard to spend your money in Vegas… when you’ve already blown it all on Fan Duel’s Super For Sure Lithuanian Badminton Triple Parlay Lock… from the 2009 Civic they now live in.
lmfao
Younger Americans can afford Vegas?
How will someone gamble if they have to pay 15k "bond" to enter the country?
It's also soy milk and low t
Yes I sure want to visit an overpriced, tacky shit-hole in the middle of the desert in a late capitalist country full of gun waving Nazis lead by a paedophile. And by "visit" I mean "nuke from orbit!"
Notably, other international gambling centers in Asia are seeing corresponding increases in tourism year over year. Suggests this is due to loss of international tourism.
Maybe they're talking about this: bsky.app/profile/tina...
Las Vegas resident here… or… maybe it’s the 11.00 bottles of water and high table minimums and 35.00 parking fees in combination with fear of being disappeared. It doesn’t make for a good marketing slogan. “What Happens in Vegas Ends Up in El Salvador “
Spent a lot of time there, but not lately. It has lost its appeal to me!
Tbh I'm not surprised that younger Americans aren't enticed to go to a tourist spot dedicated to robbing you of your money. We don't even have any money!
I can gamble for a whole lot less, watch entertainment I'd much rather see for a whole lot less, eat what I want for a whole lot less, and pause everything and go to a nice private bathroom or bedroom, all without leaving home. And what happens in Vegas can be posted online.
The avocado toast kids are like 40 now
And broke. Because of the avocados and the toast.
In my day we went broke the right way, by gambling it all away.
Instead of eating it?! Much more efficient for sure.
I was told it's "California's fault" ;)
Of course, we’re too busy eating our avocado toast, right?
Maybe if us “kids” were paid better, we’d also have more money to spend on things like a trip to Vegas.
The world is boycotting us. That’s why.
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.
(Not disagreeing with your diagnosis of what's discouraging tourists, just adding something else that also discourages tourists to gambling Mecca.)
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.
Why are people still posting headlines from the New York Post? Garbage conservative tabloid
To translate the Journalese, "could be" = "ain't."
Maybe they should advertise their "vintage" brothels more. I hate the loud smokey hotels which are often booked for conferences due to cheaper rates! Was there for one last year but never again! To be fair, there're places in the city outside of the Strip which are very nice, like the Arts District.
The youth are buying too much. The youth aren’t buying enough. The youth are buying too much. The youth aren’t buying enough. The youth are buying too much. The youth aren’t buying enough.
I'm sure those $15,000 bonds imposed on various countries' tourists help an awful lot with that tourism... and the detaining and deporting of tourists also. But it has nothing whatsoever to do with it. Nor does the economy, because everyone is rich, right?
Don't forget the $250 fee per person for EVERY country as well. A family of 5 that wants to go to Disney now spends $1,250 on top of the Disney ticket prices and hotel prices.
Ah, didn't know about that one. Another reason to cross the US of the "visit" list.
they could've blamed zohran for this one. missed opportunity
Kids saw “Anora”! Vegas looked like fun! I think under normal circumstances tourism with younger visitors would be up.
Love how they blame younger people who have generationally less and less money because of ratcheting policy moves to syphon as much money away from people that don’t have a full time accountant handling their wealth.
Here's a letter to the New York Post The worst piece of paper on the East coast Matter of fact, the whole state Forty cents in New York City, fifty cents elsewhere And makes no goddamn sense at all America's oldest continuously published daily piece of bullshit
Also Vegas sucks ass!
We can make money or we can make excuses” and Vegas ain’t making money
I wonder how much of that decline is Canadians not going. I hear daily commercials begging Canadians to visit the US because they love our money. Too bad they hate everything else about Canadians.
I agree with you. But, even if this headline was the actual reason for the issue, then why is the blame going to the young people? If entertainment preferences are changing, it is incumbent upon entertainment providers to adapt.
Also the younger generation doesn’t have any disposable income to risk losing to gambling.
Also like, there's a reason Gen Z jokes so much about gambling in the same way as drunk driving: it's something so obviously bad that the punchline is even considering it.
I've always thought I'd eventually make time for Vegas, but then I saw someone post about $18 beers like they were at a damn baseball game and it lost all its appeal.
last time I was in vegas I got a Heineken for $3. it was a promo deal and I wasn't on the strip but still
Those damn kids aren’t into gambling, drinking, and hookers??? How DARE they!
setting aside the obvious flaws in this take, you’re telling me the generation that grew up during 3 recessions might not be hugely enthusiastic about going to the city where you set money on fire?
Half of the visitors to Vegas were from Canada. Before Trump went Nazi
It's also just EXPENSIVE in Vegas. Hotel depending on when you go/where you stay might be reasonable but actually doing anything is ridiculous.
Also the entire economy turning into a money vacuum operated by rich white guys to slurp up the economic output of the young, etc.
I'm sure that headline appeals to their core audience of geriatric racists and morons.
NY Post is a rag and a shill for Republicans
And Murdoch is coming to LA with a new edition early next year, The Caliifornia Post. Same sleaze and MAGA lies but with more sun.
Great. Just what we need 🤦♀️
Yes blame the consumer for not choosing your product that is fantastic marketing.
Hey yeah quick question for people who love going to Las Vegas, have you ever been literally anywhere else?
Vegas costs a lot more than it used to, as does the rent
Had anyone also considered one of the reasons could be that Las Vegas sucks?
Right -- I think you can only sell Las Vegas to people once. It's really not an enjoyble way to spend your money and vacation time.
There seems to be a ton of tiktoks lately showing just how insanely expensive things are in Las Vegas. Not exactly a great advertisement.
Which is really why Vegas is going down. They used to hook people in with cheap rooms and food but now every single part of the Vegas experience is expensive so people are bouncing off of it. It's just a bad deal all-around and they're paying the price for it.
No joke. I went in 2015 and have never wanted to go again.
I've been to Vegas once and instantly hated everything about that city. I will never go back.
idk i think we've pretty firmly established that there is in fact a market for a short Dubai where you're a little more likely to be executed
Its's tacky there, they'd rather go to Costa Rica and who can blame them.
You can't keep raising prices while gutting value and expect a generation with less money and time than ever to make that kind of bad sacrifice. People are tired of being scammed. The experience offered is no longer worth venturing for.
I would never voluntarily travel to the USA if I could never be sure of ending up in a concentration camp in El Salvador afterward. Who would travel to the World Cup and the Olympic Games in a country like that? I think only those who are naive and who find democracy rather annoying.
It's not US nazi's. It's the youth. Those damn kids ruined vegas
They really need to find a new tune. This one was old in 2011
Someone count the Canadians!
Why didn’t they blame Mamdani? Isn’t he guilty of not going to Vegas in June also?
It's always the young people. The people slightly older need to spread their avocado toast trauma.
Can I add "we're too broke to gamble", too?
If young people would rather eat avacado toast than gamble, it's probably not a bad thing, anyway.
“You kids better be financially responsible at all times!!! Wait not like that!!!!”
or maybe no one wants to go to USA anymore. Never know if you are safe or going to get arrested
You know what, on behalf of Millennials, I’m willing to accept credit for killing Las Vegas
Xennial, reporting in. I would like to point out that WE WERE TOLD NOT TO DRINK AND GAMBLE, AND THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY AVOID SEX WORKERS, BECAUSE OF AIDS. We were told this shit by authority figures, of the Boomer generation. Save for the moralistic tone of the AIDS topic, it was good advice.
But, ya know, now it's like "OOOH, YOU ANNOYING FUCKING KIDS. WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY EXPECT YOU TO DRINK LESS AND GAMBLE LESS. WE JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO DO THAT SHIT WHEN YOU WERE 14 AND HUMILIATE US." Great. Good to know. Our welfare takes a backseat to economic welfare, once again. Superduper.
Well. They are blaming it on the "Younger generation" now, because they've given up with the Gen ....whatever. They don't know what's what anymore. Meanwhile... sandals at dawn. We're going to the beach. Signed, GenX
they said younger americans
I think us millennials will always be blamed because they haven’t figured out that we are all at LEAST in our thirties. And also we will always assume they’re talking about us because they perpetually refer to anyone younger than them as millennials.
Yeah well. Try being GenX lol. We don't even exist. Not that we really give a fuck. We'll just rebel on the sidelines and watch Millennials get the blame.
Fucking OUCH
Ow, right in the sense of self
Hello? Police? I'd like to report a murder.
watching younger generation find out they are old
Hey lazy journalists don't know that
Millenials....
I feel just like Boomer has stopped referring to a specific age cohort & now mostly just refers to a specific world outlook, that Millenial now just means... young people... as far as the media is concerned. Like, I was in my late 30s when they started rolling out the Millenials are young articles.
because they consider 21-35 "young" due to the voting and spending power as well as contributions to the workforce. This is media, being stupid.
I think how we talk a out generations is bad, & distracts from class, so then mudding the waters on what these terms mean is... fine.
Generations are invented by marketing. Its arbitrary, and only related to things like TV shows, movies, and styles. All of which are remade or cycle quite often. I think using it as a joke, to joke around with, takes the power away from it. Its also a good reminder of life, and how it works.
It’s time for you guys to accept it. They’re not talking to you anymore. :) welcome to erasure. Enjoy it!
FINALLY
agreed finally lol. been hearing about how we are ruining shit since the 2000s 😭
As a Canadian refusing to travel to the US, I'll fight you for the credit.
Only if you woulda gone to Vegas, otherwise.
The fact that Las Vegas is a horrible place might also have something to do with it.
I’ll start blaming young people once the boomer death clock reaches 70% and they’re no longer majority population.
No person from another country should come to the US for any reason even the Olympics. It is not a safe country to enter. Save your money and watch it on TV. The US is Fascist country and not safe for noncitizens. It’s also not safe for citizens. Don’t come!! The US is no longer a safe place.
I was ordered into a side office to justify my visit and prove I wasn't trying to work illegally in 1999. Pre 9/11. My boyf, part of an international engineering project, was left confused about my whereabouts -I'd got on the plane but not emerged even though he was reassured everyone had deplaned.
That was nerve wracking enough and it was all over in 30 minutes. It chills me to think how my vulnerable autistic ass would *not * have coped if I'd been subjected to modern treatment
If the government is already grifting us why travel?
The NY Post, a rabidly right-wing shitrag deeply invested in demonising immigrants, celebrates Trump's proposed $15000 bond on tourists entering the US but says it's the kids who're killing Vegas. Got it.
Having been to Vegas, home of the 30 dollar chicken sandwich and 16 dollar latte, recently, it might have something to do with the value proposition of visiting No one sitting at those slot machines at 3am looks happy, either
New headline: Las Vegas fails because young people won’t come and put literal money in our machines and never see it again
Definitely the former, but also, I can't help but feel that the generations now living pay check to pay check and lumbered with record high student debts, barely able to afford rent let alone a mortgage... are unlikely to visit a town that is a metaphor for the system being rigged against them.
Cheque not check... damnit.
The rise of fascism is partly to blame, but Vegas is a) expensive as shit and b) no longer unique with the rise in state based gambling. There’s just no *reason* to go if you’ve never been before.
Nope it’s Trumps fault
yeah, a looooooot of young guys voted for trump, so yeah, they could be to blame.
I live there, and honestly it's some of both. International tourism is WAY down, but also Vegas has become much more expensive. The combination is not great.
I would agree it is more expensive, but a year ago the prices were the same. We were doing great. It’s the tRump effect. Plus the economy in general is sucking wind. The MSM wants to blame anything but him.
As someone that’s been traveling to Vegas 1-2x year for 10+ years, it’s 100% about affordability now. Vegas is INSANE pricey now; table games are crazy, food and drinks are crazy, hotel deals are meh / semi-affordable. It’s really difficult to want to go to Vegas these days.
Plus Sports gambling is doing just fine as a distributed system you can load on your phone.
Gambling can be a lot cheaper online, too. You can literally play for pennies.
👍 Not just sports gambling but all gambling!
At least for some of us, legally speaking. Wish more states would get on board with interstate poker, so I could maybe play something other than Hold Em and Omaha at Pokerstars.
Also true! You can now gamble from the comfort of your own home. Why spend a couple thousand dollars to go do it with a bunch of other people?
+ all these ridiculous service fees on EVERYTHING. wouldn't be suprised if they add a fee on breathing the air.
I keep reading these stories thinking I could probably get a cheap hotel in Vegas right now. Nope. Not even cheap midweek in summer. Who would go? Cheap hotels are supposed to be the draw and you spend money elsewhere. But hotel prices mean people won’t even book.
Same. They aren’t hurting enough to give us a damn deal!
Ngl, a purely capitalist destination is not very appealing to us whom are fighting so hard just to keep up the insane cost of living increases
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.
Going to add - looks like foreign visitors are estimated to be 20% of the Vegas market. So yea.
And the White House wants to charge up to $15k for certain visas now.
this headline reads like "grrrrrr why aren't young people gambling?!"
it should more accurately read: young people aren't gambling in person because we have addicted them to gambling on their phones!
Oh the young people have turned on Trump and now they must be blamed! But never Trump, never blame Trump. Not for the economy, not for cuts to Healthcare & not for hanging out with well-known pedophiles...
I thought you were blaming canadians? Lololol
At least they finally stopped saying "it's those young 40 year old Millennials!!!" Progress!!!!!
As an older American who visits Las Vegas at least once a year but will not be going this year, I call bullshit. Not going, because we squirreling away as much money as we can before the depression hits.
Millenial here, my fiancée and I usually go at least twice a year, but we are doing the same. No Disney trip this year either. We’re not splurging on anything, holding onto everything we can.
If I'm spending money on a big trip, it's outside the United States to take a vacation from the fascism background radiation.
If I’m leaving the US, it’s for good. Please believe, if I could, I would
Completely understood. And possibly in my plans as well, technology I'm developing being deemed good enough.
Also, anyone can gamble legally anywhere in the US with a phone signal now. Did they think that wouldn't do anything to their bottom lines? Did they expect people to sit at slot mistakes while checking out their parleys on their phone at the same time? Yeah, def the avocado toast.
Sure, blame the generation that on average has it worse off than their parents for the first time in the history of the nation for not throwing their precious money away, and not on the generation causing the wealth gap
Maybe the city draining Lake Mead shouldn't have giant choreographed fountains in the middle of the fucking desert
Like even white European and Canadian tourists have been put in detention for days and weeks. Now I bet even the most racist Trump-loving tourists would hesitate to take that chance. And Americans? Well they've been told to tighthen their belts and not be frivolous so? What'd you expect?
Lol, they will blame anyone and everyone except their pedo dictator orange god.
“Could be the youths” - a literal masked thug ice agent waiting in the airport customs lobby
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.
This show was 74 dollars within the last 5 years
Could not possibly be the countries that felon 47 has insulted that refuse to spend 1 penny in the USA
This is like when there's YouTube videos about how Canadian tourism has dropped off that ignore that it's not simply a tariff thing, it's that we collectively as a country raised a middle finger due to the annexation talk/disrespect re: our sovereignty/ICE detaining foreign visitors
Also like… sorry we don’t want to waste our money we are barely holding onto on blackjack…
Frankly its shocking its only down 11 percent. I would have expected at least double that.
Go to Vegas…why? To lose money we don’t have and get drunk for 3x the price?
Also, blaming young people, a category of the population with famously vast wealth reserves to gamble or piss away otherwise in the desert, yeah its them. Like this is a baffling headline in many ways. "Come to Sin City! What happens here stays with Palantir until your next background check!"
It takes a special idiot to attribute 11% year on year decline to demographic trends instead of THE USA BECOMING A GLOBAL PARIAH
Exactly….not my fault attitude strikes again
besides, Vegas already strip mined any generational wealth they were going to inherit from their boomer parents with video poker, nickel slots and cheap buffets.
I'm an avocado toast who're and I'm thinking about leaving the country
I usually go there 2-3 times a year but it will be years before I go back... I keep getting bombarded with emails from the hotel I stay at. They have offered literally everything but to pay my airfare ...I don't think they like my replies .🤣
I blame Shitler, everybody can see the truth
The headline if the paper was being honest would blame Trump for the lack of tourists.
is america great again already??
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.
The world is a huge place with lots of great places. Why would anyone visit the one being run by the world’s biggest asshole?
"Also that'll require a $15k bond; cash up front no refunds."
We can’t afford to gamble money we don’t have. Sounds crazy I know. Also all the cool stuff from the 90s is gone and now it’s just boring “””luxury””” stuff with all the personality of a dental office and the price tag of a cybertruck. It’s cheaper to go to Europe.
The avocado toast is a bit suss :p
I’m coming to your hotel/ casino to see a show, have a dinner, gamble and these greedy mf are charging a pricey resort tax and charging for parking. Who can afford it, that’s why tourism is down. $20 for a beer!!! WTF!
Maybe it's hyper aggressive anti-tourism politics, made by kids of course, kids have the powers to do that sure, sure !
We haven’t updated our antiquated business model in decades and in fact have cut back on what experience you get for your money, plus everything costs 509%more right now but yeah- it’s all the kids fault.
Weird how businesses are entitled to customers rather than having to earn our dollars... I thought they liked customer choice.
It's OK. Posting bond to get a tourist visa will certainly help.
Love this….
Thanks. Made it a few months ago when all this insanity started kicking off.
And no one has extra money to gamble with.
As one of the millennials who's been a social punching bag since graduating college into the Great Recession in 2008, why the f*ck would I want to visit someplace where it's 110 degrees in the shade, everyone is trying to take my money, and there are no windows? I'd rather go to the woods.

Ignoring all of these flashing red lights of authoritarianism - Vegas is also insanely expensive! Blame is a wild word to use for someone who doesn't want to pay a 100% Sin City surcharge for food and drinks.
Really was only a matter of time before these articles would get paired with "BLAME THE YOUNG!" Vegas is an unaffordable luxury relic with no hook to go there. No one has money but some private equity guys. You're funding overpriced greedy hotels for a public that's starving.
There's not going to be any foreign tourists at all this year, either -- because they all know about "if I have the wrong photo on my phone, I get detained?"
Filthy poors and their lack of disposable income to gamble with and their inability to afford vacations....yes. yes! These are the culprits!
Seems like younger Americans traveling domestically are more interested in the eco tourism stuff. Nature is hot right now. See it before it’s gone.
I would be visiting vegas as much as possible if flying home from the U.S. didn’t mean getting touched up by TSA bc I’m trans every single time.
The kids are younger now, it’s their TikTok dances that are to blame
It is US travelers too and it is an indicator of an economic downswing. The drop off in international searches came first, then the national search traffic. It is not good on either front. They done f**ked up the economy
all our growth right now is coming from AI capex, which is a bubble
