Yeah,on board with this. Like one thing is that everything on the strip is gonna be expensive,i think most people would accept/understand that. Big tourist destination yada yada. But flat out ripping people off with ridicilous pricelevels is something else.
Ive been to Vegas many times now,and i love this city. However,last summer i found myself getting increasingly annoyed regarding the pricelevels. That is pretty unusual for me. Not only is the pricelevels going up,the food quality is dropping at the same time many places. For example fivefifty pizza next to Aria pokerroom is gone,and the "new" joint isnt close to the same quality. Grand Lux at Venetian,more expensive+smaller portion sizes and worse food.
Combine this with smaller and smaller comp levels at the casinos,charging for parking+++There is no question that Vegas is gonna scare off alot of tourists in the future if this trend continues.
