    There is a difference between expensive and offensive, and the latter is what the Strip has become

    How is it cheap to have a problem with constant rule changes for the house? We're on a gambling forum smart guy. Not liking 6:5 on a blackjack is smart, not cheap you silly troll

          Had 2 dinners while in town last week. Steak house at MGM & Gordon Ramsey spot. Easily $150 a person with drinks. Those memories last a lifetime. Fukin guys worrying about where to get free water

          Vegas on $5 a day! Truly can't make this shit up
          i think the whole point of this thread went way over your head

          and LOL @ bragging about liifelong memories of an overpriced meal at a tourist trap

          i sure hope a wealthy man such as yourself can do better than that

            and if "bragging about lifelong memories" when having dinner with a family member who lives out there and is a cancer survivor somehow makes you chuckle, so be it.

            Sorry my success in life has somehow offended you

              Avoid at all costs.

              Off strip is still wonderful.
              I hate how people always talk about Off the Strip This and off the strip that but no one ever gives a specific place to go the only place I go off the strip is the Spearmint Rhino.

                  That really is too bad about them wanting to charge you $5 for a Coke while you were playing video poker or about to play video poker anyways.

                  Just like anything else that's good in life once poor stupid people figure out how to get an edge on it they will stop doing it.

                  I haven't stayed downtown in years but you know what that sounds like a good idea I'd probably save a shitload of money too

                    If I Stay Downtown I'm staying at the D though. I respect any place that makes their employees dress like prostitutes.

                        Slim ran jj's bald ass out of Vegas.
                        Jay is going to conquer the casinos one dollar at a time.




                        Right...... Stay home whinney bitches.....

                        Vegas always good to me.... I am not trying to stay in Vegas on the cheap..

                        Only stay at Caesars.... sportbook is dope and my girl friend loves the pool and shopping

                        Its fun to check out the wild life on the strip.....a must see....
                        I think OP hit the nail on the head when he said " there is a difference between expensive and offensive".

                        No one is trying to stay on the cheap. It is just very frustrating when you can't even get Fair odds at a $25 minimum table and people are trying to charge you $5 for a squirt of coke that comes out of a fukkin bar gun.

                        They are basically saying you're going to give us all your money one way or another.

                        I think I'm sold on downtown for my next trip they can have my money this time.

                          I just looked at my history, and I paid $5.25 from the strip to Old Vegas. And $11 from the Airport to the Strip.
                          It's all supply and demand, so the demand may have simply been higher my last visit....it was early in the NFL season on a Sunday.

                              I liked old Vegas downtown better than the strip.

                              Great friendly party feeling as well as not feeling like a chump paying huge rake and bad table game odds.

                              People smile and talk to strangers downtown. Not like that on the strip at all.

                              I was hardly in my room when not asleep and love the location and staff at the Plaza. For 20 bucks the Valet parked my car right outside door all week so going anywhere and getting back was easy as. Not waiting around for Ubers.

                              Only reason I went to the strip was to see a show and play poker with friends who wouldn't come down to old Vegas.

                                You can have Vegas in my opinion it's a terrible vacation easy to duplicate it online and go somewhere else

                                  I didn't enjoy it the first time, alone and staying on the strip.

                                  Vegas with a group of friends for a week is what it's all about.

                                    Downtown hotels look like hostels. Pass.

                                    I only stay on the strip. I know it's expensive as shit. Hell, they charge parking at most of the hotels now too. WTF? I have an old ass Nevada drivers license that can get you free parking but damn, what a money grab. I draw the line on 6/5 Blackjack. Fukk that, I'm not going to just give them my money. The number of hotels moving to 6/5 is staggering. Tells me to play poker or craps.

                                    The only reason to go to Vegas is to meet beautiful woman. Even that has gone to shit. Unless it's a holiday weekend the number of pretty woman has gone way, way down. San Diego and LA have much better eye candy.

                                        your not meeting beautiful women unless you pay

                                        Those days a woman going back to your room is a lottery longshot unless she is drunk or a druggy

                                          I found the Southpoint in 2007 it was a hidden gem nice rooms low price I paid 39 bucks a night a few times.But people know about that place now very crowded all the time rates are low still but overcrowded and visn there now makes it worse.The M I love can get expensive love staying there but hate playing there.Red Rock is the same.This year maybe the first year ever that I do not go to Vegas.Visin has the betting sheets sent to you how awesome is that.The other reason to avoid Vegas now is the Hockey and Football teams coming.Low rates were the norm Sunday thru Thursday but those rates will go up big time when a game night is on.Try renting a car now.With the consolidated facility the rent a car place can take hours it seems and the buses are always jammed full.This year I'm Skipping Vegas in July and Going to San Diego instead in late August.

                                            So many places in the USA that are much better than Las Vegas to go on a vacation

                                              This is true. You can go to Disney World in the day and hit casino in Tampa 45 minutes away at night. You have better odds picking up a beautiful girl not on the clock in Biloxi, Niagara or even GreekTown than Vegas.

                                              The strips no longer the strip. You can't even walk a straight line without having to go over an overpass or construction. You could walk the strip and see stuff going on both sides of the street. You can't even look across the street anymore it's so damn far away with all kind of pillars, plants, concrete in the way.

                                                Those days a woman going back to your room is a lottery longshot unless she is drunk or a druggy
                                                Women have the what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas mentality. There's no better thrill in a chicks life than penetrating a strange guy while they're on vacation
