@PMC713 Plus there's so many gambling options outside of Vegas these days.
Last time I was there the casino floors were basically liminal spaces though tourists were still everywhere in the restaurants and malls killing time for the big evening concerts at places like Caesars Palace.
@PMC713 Vegas' problems date back to when they abandoned the middle class tourists. Vegas used to have cheap resorts, cheap food, and cheap shows to draw you into the casinos. Now they nickel & dime you to death, tack on exorbitant "resort fees," and only cater to high rolllers.
@JustinBGalloway@Provokatov I remember when it happened in real time and the tabloids making "The Pinball Wizard vs The Acid Queen" jokes (since that was their roles in film version of "Tommy").
