I don't care if the ****ing Marriott in NYC is $200, I care about what the comparable hotel to Wynn/Venetian/Bellagio/Aria costs, since those are the ones I'm paying $200 for in Vegas. And AirBNB is totally irrelevant to the discussion.
Not to mention, the info in the links he posted is based on a random Tuesday night stay in April. Change that to Friday night in July for places like NYC or Paris and the options change radically (not for the good).
Also the Vegas strip is pretty small geographically, the cities being used in this comparison are far larger. Sure you can find a decent hotel room an hour away from Manhattan or in a Paris suburb, compare that to a room located downtown in those cities and good luck finding a decent one under $200. One comparable to accommodations at The Wynn would run about triple that.
Sorry for adding to the derail of your thread Leon, hope Wynn changes the paytables back to where they ought to be.
