And now Vegas is suffering from the actions of outside groups. A truly independent Vegas is the only good ending.
I was there in August, and it was dead. 2am and the whole block was me and a depressed looking prostitute walking by. Ten years ago I’d be in a crowd avoiding pickpockets, but nothing.
Surprising number of Hispanic tourists, so very curious if ICE hits Vegas soon.
Vegas doesn't care about anything but their money
I only visited Vegas once, for a symposium. I do not understand the appeal of a city were parents walk around drunk all day pushing strollers, or placards advertising hookers, or gambling in games that clearly state on them you will lose.
It's a shithole within a shithole.
The biggest industry outside of wall street built to fleece people of their money is hurting? Cry me a river.
I'm not Canadian but I'd still like to say go fuck yourself, Vegas mayor
Je ne suis pas Canadien mais quand-même j'aimerais dire va te faire foutre, maire de végas
Even if Trump was gone, and the damage was repaired, it's so fucking expensive there now.
The only reason I'd go now is if there's something there I can't realistically see/do otherwise, or if the flights are so much cheaper to get there (and flights there can be cheap) that it makes up the cost of potentially seeing / doing that something elsewhere.
Otherwise, I've been there enough now, I don't need to go again.
Nevada is a solidly red state but Vegas (like basically all cities outside of Texas and Florida...) heavily favors Democrats. So I don't think this is a "leopards ate my face" situation.
But... yeah. That is the problem. A lot of cities are actively fighting back (not aware of Vegas doing so). But you still need to get to that city. And if I were fortunate enough to not live in this hell country, there would be nothing you could do to make me risk border control.
I thought that too, until I read this comment. So nah, it's a leopards eating faces situation.
Vegas (like basically all cities outside of Texas and Florida...) heavily favors Democrats
Yeeeeeah, that's wrong. Harris won Clark county by about 2%. They favored Democrats but calling it "heavily favored" is really stretching it.

Get rid of the Führer and his Neo-Nazi party and their American GeStaPo, and tourists might return. Dead simple solution, isn't it?
Well, I suppose if they could appeal to anyone to enter the states right now, it would be people who 'enjoy' big risk gambling...
