Apparently you don't understand the problem Vegas is having, I'll enlighten you. For years Vegas used to be a cheap/affordable vacation destination for alot of people. Now it has become too expensive but Spin Nuts believes it's because Nevada voted Trump.
Las Vegas began its sharp transition from an affordable budget getaway to a high-end, expensive destination across several key waves:
Post-2008 Recession: Following the financial crisis, casinos stopped using cheap rooms and freebies to lure gamblers in, moving instead to a strict across-the-board profit model for rooms, food, and drinks. [1, 2]
The Introduction of Parking Fees (2016): Major operators like MGM and Caesars ended decades of free parking on the Las Vegas Strip, sparking the trend of "nickel-and-diming" visitors with hidden or extra costs. [1]
The Post-COVID-19 Surge (2021–Present): Surging post-pandemic travel demand, combined with steep inflation, new labor contracts, mandatory resort fees ($30–$50+ per night), and high table minimums ($15–$25+), pushed prices to a breaking point for middle-class travelers. [1, 2, 3, 4]
