Also they turned the whole comp system from something that was a fun treat into what amounts to a grocery store rewards points scheme that isn’t fun for anyone. So now instead of a pretty girl coming up to you and just handing you a free drink or some guy giving you a free breakfast because you are a big shot, you instead have what amounts to a subway sandwich punch card.
There was a youtube video a few months back where a person who lived there and had several pro vegas videos outlined how the casinos had done it to themselves.
Last time I went to Vegas was 2023 and free drinks on the casino floor was still a thing at least, though not nearly as frequent as the time I went prior to Covid.
I’ve only been once, but watching degenerate gamblers and young parents pushing strollers around a big mall drunk was just depressing. I got a vibe of Dollarama Epstein Island.
You know what 1000x better than The Venetian? Venice.
They hike the prices through the roof and drop quality and it’s the consumers’ fault for not wanting to pay extra for crap
Also, who would visit the U.S. right now?
They also changed the games to where it was even harder to win and the payout was less.
But business analysts said that bleeding their customers dry through predatory tactics was the most important thing to do!
Think of the shareholders!

And winners are quickly banned. Why would anyone gamble and NOT card count?

I’ve only been to Venice out of the two and I very much disliked Venice. So Vegas must be pretty bad.
Hundreds of years of history, beautiful museums, best restaurants in the world, going to dinner in a vaporetto, horrible.
Maybe Vegas is for you.
I’m not really a gambler. Glad you like Venice. I’ll give a list to counter:
Claustrophobic, terrible smell, rarely air conditioned, hard to find food that isnt just carbs and fat.
The museums are cool though.
Sounds like you shouldnt leave the US.
Oof homie
Go to Italy, complain about the food and air conditioning. That’s why Rome has a McDonalds.
I enjoyed Rome and rural Italy. I just didn’t mesh with Venice. Idk what to tell you. It was a bad experience for me.
Also we’re both on Lemmy so we likely both have our reasons for avoiding companies like McDonald’s.
