I can't believe that threatening Canadians didn't make them want to come to the US and spend all their money.

"Come to Las Vegas! Win a free trip to El Salvador if you accidentally get swept up in an ICE raid!"

Las Vegas is a city built for a different era, and we're not in that era any more. I really don't see it re-surging, at least until Trump allows fights to the death at MGM Grand. Kinda /s.

Fascism is unpopular.

Shocking I'm sure.

Canadian here. Nice try, ICE.

Lol.

Did they think owning the libs was going to be free?

I'm American, have never been to Vegas and was planning a trip. Then all my bills went up. My insurance alone tripled. I now fear traveling state to state as I don't trust the police in red states so no driving through them. I no longer trust the TSA to not arrest me for what I post online so no more flying. I think I will stay right here for the foreseeable future as travel just isn't important to me right now. Would I love to travel? Yes. I need to feel safe and secure in it and to not be financially ruined by it. Right now I just need to focus on making sure my housing and food is secured. I don't have time or security to focus on anything else.

Good. Its working then.

Here is my most Canadian reaction.

Bwahahahahahaaaaa... No.

Et pour l'autre langue officielle:

Honhonhonghonhooon... Non.

Was just in the city. Everyone was telling me how bad it got. I had a great time. Didn’t have to make a reservation for the Wynn buffet. I just walked right in. Then the Uber drivers were telling how bad things have got for them. From 15k a week to maybe 2-3K. Same thing for bartenders and waitresses.

I'm sure this is not a rare thing on Lemmy, but even as an American sitting in the US I see these headlines and think "lol get fucked."

Probably 100 Million people in this country need to be shocked into global reality. I worry just how bad things will have to get before that happens, though. It would be great to have an economy that would let me retire some day, sure, but the loss of institutions and technological advancement is sad for both us and for people that don't even exist yet.

And I'm not trying to be anti entertainment / gambling / prostitution, but Vegas is pretty low on the priority list of the american institutions trump is disintegrating. It has high international visibility though.

Maybe it would help if our President wasn't threatening Canadian sovereignty, and the cult wasn't cheering it on.

Well, what did you expect people to do when your president started questioning Canada's sovereignty? To roll over and keep giving you money?! Get rid of the infestation of fascists all over the place, burn it all down, and then, maybe then people might think about returning to the USA.

But I do find it funny that in Youtube comments on channels like Guard The Leaf or "Not Leaving Las Vegas" there were idiots claiming that Vegas doesn't run on income from foreign visitors, that it mostly runs on domestic tourism, despite showing them actual numbers from the Las Vegas airport.

The mayor of Las Vegas is a democrat, not a member of the face-eating leopards party. I'm too busy to look it up right now but I'm going to bet that the Las Vegas City and surrounding county is probably one of the most consistently Democratic parts of Nevada. Of course Canadians should still stay away. Any non-american should just not come, but this is not lamf

Vegas doesn't care about anything but their money

Las Vegas is having the day Nevada voted for...

I'm Canadian, and this year I went to Florida to fulfill a life-long (I'll be 60 next year) dream to visit the Kennedy Space Center. One thing I noticed, beyond getting "randomly secondarily" screened at EVERY security checkpoint, was that there were no wait lines for anything anywhere.

No lines at NASA, no lines at restaurants, no lines at Orlando attractions. At least nothing more than a couple of minutes, at most. Even the beaches were mostly empty...

If she wants tourism, she must make a promise: that ICE will be arrested on sight, and that the Nevada State Guard will stand strong against any National Guard unit that is enforcing totalitarianism.

"We have a number of very high rollers that come in from Mexico that aren’t so keen on coming in right now"

I wonder why. /s

Noviello's death marks the eighth known immigrant detainee deaths this year.

There's a non-zero chance the American government will find you and kill you.

Lol get fucked. Sent with love from Canada.

Fuck off America. 🇨🇦’s not coming back. You’re too dumb to even know why. 🖕🖕🖕

Just hold on a bit longer. Trump is desperately trying to turn his shit deals into art.

"We love you, we need you, we miss you." Said the abuser after you start to leave them...

Sorry, but your federal government snatches people off the streets and sends them to concentration camps. We know of at least one Canadian citizen that was kidnapped by ICE, who then died in their custody.

This is in addition to your president threatening to annex us, and starting a trade war for no discernible reason.

No, I will not be visiting. A regime change won't help either.

It will never go back to the way things were, and that's on you collectively.
