In 2025, Las Vegas experiences a 6.5% decrease in visitors, lower hotel occupancy, and reduced gaming revenues due to economic uncertainty, high costs, and fewer major events. International arrivals fell drastically, particularly from Canada and Europe. Industry responses include promotions, legislative changes, and marketing increases to support tourism recovery.
People on the vegas reddit talk about $30 drinks, $20+ burgers, $25 parking fees even if they are staying there, $50+ “resort fees” on top of over priced rooms, etc.
Also, last I checked it’s in America. International tourism was a big part of the economy there. US is kind of a dumb place to visit for international travelers right now.
Yeah Vegas price gouges bad, if you can it’s generally better to stay in the satellite towns and cities like Primm, Boulder, fuck even some weirdos like Jean or Searchlight.
