Okay this is a 10 second clip of very cherry picker shots. The first one outside faces treasure Island, the sun is hitting it pretty hard, so I would say it's fairly early morning. Anyone who has ever been to Vegas will tell you that surprisingly, the floors are pretty empty in the morning. You know, because everyone is asleep.
This also could be a random Wednesday at 9am for all I know. Not exactly a reliable source here.
Not saying it's not down in numbers, but if you cherry pick your shots it will fit your narrative pretty easy
This. Vegas IS a ghost town in the morning. If you are seeing this after the sun goes down then it would be a problem
Tourism has definitely slowed, but it’s not like in this video. You can confirm this by looking at the live cameras of the strip.
Same is true for the airport videos. Yes travel has slowed pretty significantly but people are exaggerating to get clicks.
Oh I'm not surprised used it's slowed down at all. Vegas is second only to Florida where more rural (and poorer) Midwestern and southern people go in the US, it's no surprise they aren't traveling as much. Less about Vegas and more about how people are doing as a whole.
Completely agree with you, this is just engagement bait
