You know you're getting old when.....

Respectfully disagree. You used to be able to get free drinks and shiat while gambling and wasting your money. Buffets were cheap hoping to lure you in. Now drinks are 4x normal cost, and rooms have 11 different fees on them, so your 200$ a night special is now 350. Their tourism is down like almost 10% year over year.

I think it's intentional. They aren't bothering to drain old ladies social security checks with cheap buffets and nickel slots anymore. They can make more money being a playground for rich people. I once watched a guy lose $60,000 in 20 minutes at a blackjack table. Not only did he do that but he probably dropped thousands on fancy hotels, restaurants, and shows. One guy like that is worth 500 regular people who lose $500 at the slot machine over a weekend.

Also gambling is legal in a lot more states now so they can stupid tax the poor without getting them to come to Vegas. The sports betting apps and prediction markets are that on steroids.
