Basically a video on the whole topic. I went last December for a wedding and had a good time but it was hell a expensive and we did the cheapest stuff. Id go back if it was cheaper. But its only gotten more expensive in the half year since.
I just spent a week there for work and I can't think of a reason to ever visit it's so ludicrously expensive. Anything that would cost $10 in normal society and that's overpriced by $5 is at least 20 in Vegas.
We went around Christmas. Took all the money we would spend for Christmas presents and just took a family trip.
Stayed at the Linq for $50 a night, ate at In and Out burger three nights. Walked Fremont Street, visited the neon sign museum. Red Rock and Calico basin. Dorked around on the light rail and oogled the outside of the sphere, visited the speed cube shop.
The most expensive thing we did was Area15 four people. The whole thing came to about $2500 including flights and car.
That said, there was no gambling, We didn't go see any shows, We didn't eat any fancy meals. From a Las Vegas tourism standard, they didn't really make much off of us.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas because we can’t afford to go there and play.
Las Vegas
bookings through the summer
I mean...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas#Climate
Las Vegas has a subtropical hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification: BWh, Trewartha climate classification BWhk), typical of the Mojave Desert in which it lies. This climate is typified by long, extremely hot summers...The summer months of June through September are extremely hot, though moderated by the low humidity levels. July is the hottest month, with an average daytime high of 104.5 °F (40.3 °C). On average, 137 days per year reach or exceed 90 °F (32 °C), of which 78 days reach 100 °F (38 °C) and 10 days reach 110 °F (43 °C). During the peak intensity of summer, overnight lows frequently remain above 80 °F (27 °C), and occasionally above 85 °F (29 °C).[35]
Summer wouldn't really be when l'd want to go to Las Vegas.
Yeah, summer in the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
The article's main point is that bookings are down from the year before in the first 4 months of this year.
I'd imagine their reference point to bookings being "the worst they've seen" this summer is last summer.
i.e it was hot as hell last summer yet numbers were better than they are this year
I couldn't imagine why
No tax tips though👍
