Las Vegas years ago, was ran by the mafia and ran very very well! Today its a totally different town and not for the better in my opinion. Years ago everything was cheap or even free! Now EVERYTHING IS extremely expensive! And you pay for things you would never think of like parking and resort fees at the hotel you are staying at. Shows are way over $100 but some are worth it. Food is not good unless going to a expensive restaurant. Walking the strip is an experience! The hotels lobbies are beautiful so are the shopping/food courts but between the hotels its pick pocket city! Save your money and instead go to a Theam park or Hawaii

Vagas has reinvented itself too many times to impress me. It used to be a discount holiday place- cheap meals and show, then it was a family place- clowns and brats running around everywhere, and now it is all about luxury resorts... and high prices.
For a batchlor party with strippers and hookers, Vegas is still great. Otherwise, I won't waste time there.
Yes! I've been three times so far. My favorite thing was going to a burlesque show called Zumanity. It was discontinued after COVID hit. It was so sexy and the performers were so talented. I stayed at the Luxor in the King Pyramid Suite and it comes with a jacuzzi tub on a pedestal under the slanted window. Such a great room and I highly recommend.
I also went to see Criss Angels but his show was so boring and washed up. I could see the wires and his acts just wasn't that impressive honestly. I'm glad they removed his show from the Luxor.
I’ve been there two or three times and it’s fun but you do a lot of walking cause the strip is so long and only the taco place run by illegal Mexicans serves affordable and tasty food, they’ve got an ice cream shop that has amazing pineapple ice cream and the alcohol near the pyramid is probably 1/5th the price of restaurants cause they use it to make you drunk and visit their casino, not because they want to make money on drink sales.

Last week. Usually 2-3 times a year for the last decade, except in 2020 due to covid. I have been to a few shows, but usually I spend most of my time drinking and wandering about people-watching. I only gamble on (American) football as I'm not much into sitting at a table or machine watching my money disappear, so I tend to go in the fall.
There are some nice hikes in the area - Red Rock SP and Valley of Fire SP are nice, just not in mid-summer.- u
I'd rather to be stabbed multiple times... near a porta-potty
I lived there for almost three years, I guess that would qualify as having been there.
🔥That is hell. Crowds, light, noise, heat.🔥
No thanks. 😎I have been there so many times I am actually supposed to go back for my birthday because of The Usher concert!
