@JacobsVegasLife Easier/faster/online check-in; complimentary coffee/water in rooms; longer fitness center and pool hours; more/better pillows. Many resorts in Vegas are too focused on getting the incremental $ rather than thrilling guests so they return and spend more each visit.

@VitalVegas Agreed. It’s not the Wynn that’s the problem. Yes, it’s a luxury property with luxury prices, but they deliver value for what you pay. It’s the mid/budget tier charging Wynn prices that are causing the problem.

@MdeZegher Road tripped from Las Vegas to Tampa this fall. The Tesla network was even I remote towns in West Texas! Never had a problem or any stress. Add FSD and you have the easiest road trip ever!

@LasVegasLocally Clark County needs more patrols on the strip. Visitors need to feel safe when they walk between resorts.

[SR @StevenDRitchie]

@LasVegasLocally I agree on the “Wynn quality” point, but is part of the problem that you pay Wynn prices at Caesars Palace and Bellagio and get much less than Wynn quality?

@jessesingal Congrats! That’s a very esteemed list!

[SR @StevenDRitchie]

@vegasvaluations @vegasvaluations nailed it. I have checked into Stations, MGM, and Wynn properties without a hitch using their app or (at Stations) a well-staffed and efficient check-in desk. It's a Caesars issue.

@jessesingal Great essay... I am sure much more will be said over time, but you are pointing in the right direction. One of the commenters (on the post - not here) drew an analogy to pre-Revolution France, and I have to say that he may be on to something as well...

@conor64 Read the sign... it's pretty clear...

@DouthatNYT Duke is doing the same thing. Worth a close look at QuadEx.

@WineFolly I can enjoy a cold Seyval Blanc on a summer day…

[SR @StevenDRitchie]

@WineFolly Sauvignon blanc, vinho verde, and other light whites. Love ‘em young and fresh.

@wil_da_beast630 but will these facts ever see the light of day?

[SR @StevenDRitchie]

@ChanceBeasley That’s fantastic news, Chance!

On January 25, 1991, this is how The @nytimes reported that 100,000 Americans had died from AIDS. They didn't bother writing their own story. They ran an Associated Press story instead.
On page 18.
Below the fold.
