      They also changed the games to where it was even harder to win and the payout was less.

        But business analysts said that bleeding their customers dry through predatory tactics was the most important thing to do!

        Also they turned the whole comp system from something that was a fun treat into what amounts to a grocery store rewards points scheme that isn’t fun for anyone. So now instead of a pretty girl coming up to you and just handing you a free drink or some guy giving you a free breakfast because you are a big shot, you instead have what amounts to a subway sandwich punch card.

          There was a youtube video a few months back where a person who lived there and had several pro vegas videos outlined how the casinos had done it to themselves.

      I’ve only been once, but watching degenerate gamblers and young parents pushing strollers around a big mall drunk was just depressing. I got a vibe of Dollarama Epstein Island.

      You know what 1000x better than The Venetian? Venice.

        I’ve only been to Venice out of the two and I very much disliked Venice. So Vegas must be pretty bad.

          Hundreds of years of history, beautiful museums, best restaurants in the world, going to dinner in a vaporetto, horrible.

          Maybe Vegas is for you.

            I’m not really a gambler. Glad you like Venice. I’ll give a list to counter:

            Claustrophobic, terrible smell, rarely air conditioned, hard to find food that isnt just carbs and fat.

            The museums are cool though.
