    Caesars and MGM don’t care about your US$5k vacation to Vegas anymore. They just want to deal with the Epstein class that are going to play US$100k hands at their card tables.

      That’s how it feels.

      Work trip was to Vegas a few months ago. It was pretty dead on a Friday afternoon. It was me and my coworkers walking around trying to find something to do. They were charging $8 for water at the bar. And my nachos was $22.

      A decade ago, there would at LEAST be two dozen dealers hanging out at empty tables, inviting people. You’d bump into people or try to navigate a crowd. You’d get coupons for food, and courtesy deals for being a member. Not anymore.

      It was a casino with a mall, food court and club scene too! My town’s mall had more activity than this. Hell, the McDonald’s on the highway had more activity than this.
