Trump promised Las Vegas workers no tax on tips, and he has followed through. There is no tourism business, so there are no tips to tax. MAGA!
Yet, it’s not affecting the Tennis U.S. Open:
AI Overview
The US Open is breaking attendance records in 2025, with Fan Week drawing a record 239,307 fans, boosted by the popular mixed doubles competition and a new Sunday start to the main draw. While the total attendance for the full tournament is not yet available, the event is on track to surpass last year's record of over 1 million fans.
The casinos on the strip did away with free parking, implemented resort fees, got rid of the $5 & $10 table games, killed the cheap buffets and now nickel & dime people to death with these new "fees" at restaurants and bars. Comped rooms are only for the "whales."
True. As another poster noted (why was hia post removed?) you either have to be “whale” or have relatives like an Uncle Morrie or cousin Jonathan in the casino biz to get comped. That’s the kind of crap that Las Vegas has degenerated into.
Morrie and Jonathan and the rest of the owners of the Fed and their relatives had his post axed. Because he was right.
3. Alcohol Consumption is declining as people switch to alternatives.
4. Prostitution is readily available on Apps now so no need to travel to Las Vegas.
5. It has become massively expensive.
6. Many more legalized gambling locations in the United States.
7. The Transfer of Casino Ownership from shadow front companies for Organized Crime to one of Publicly Held corporations.
Honestly, the fact they were able to make a former Railroad depot in the middle of the desert a town of world prominance for almost 100 years was a commendable effort.

The market and the economy are booming right now, . . .
But that can't be true. Trump says he has to impose his tariffs because the U.S. is in the middle of an economic emergency. So which is it? Boom? Or bust?
I saw this thread and wanted to post. The gambling revenues do not show a year over year decline through July (nor an increase) for the Strip. The Strip is on page 15 of the reports. Perhaps the non gambling revenues are suffering - and that I think is where the prices have been increased a lot.
That's a great question, and it's a common issue for many runners. When you're out on a long run, it's not just about drinking enough water; you're also losing essential electrolytes like sodium and potassium through sweat. This is what often causes that deep feeling of thirst. A good strategy is to sip on an electrolyte drink or a sports drink during your run, rather than just water. Many runners also find it helpful to start hydrating well before the run begins. It's a key part of training, and finding the right hydration strategy for you will make a huge difference in your performance and comfort.
$20 slices of cheeze pizza at Caesars, or my Starbucks order for black coffee, juice and bakery item $27. Felt bad for my company, would not be spending my own money here. Also its clear they prioritize unions over getting things done. Thinking taxis to get around taking too long or it being unfriendly to walk to the next property. Sphere was cool.
Exacly. Not many people from Europe want to travel to US anymore at the moment, in a country with Trump as a leader, who has no soul and character, which can be seen and read every day in the news. Musk also lost a lot of credit...
Instead the tourism in Europe, especially in big cities, rises more and more. For a reason.
