You know it's bad when gambling is starting to hurt for business.
Why go to Vegas when you can gamble all your money away on your phone from the comfort of your couch.
Take the money you saved from the airplane fare you didn't buy and gamble it on if Trump will say 6-7 this week.
Same thing is happening on Orlando. The parks have decided that they are getting to crowded, so they raised the prices. That keeps out the poors, and makes the park less crowded for the wealthy, who buy more, and have a better guest experience without the crowds.
The parks still get crowded at peak times, but the parks conveniently have expensive passes that wealthy people can purchase to skip the lines.
I got free express passes for a work event, worth normally around $160 each. I got to spend 2.5 hours in line (the express line!) before the ride broke down and we all had to leave. In just over 8 hours in the park, we rode exactly 2 rides and would have spent over $500 each for the privilege had it not been a work trip.
Fuck Universal Epic.
Universal really is the worst on that.
Disney didn't charge extra for fast-pass last time I went there. Anyone could schedule their rides on an app so they didn't have to wait in long lines. The only shitty thing there was that they used to make you schedule day-of, and when they changed to letting you schedule months in advance it meant that when I went on a trip with like a week's notice all the reservations were booked.
I guess they’ll have to rent out more illegal Israeli biolabs
New Vegas is going Old Vegas.
Old (North) Vegas has always been better...
Like, it's still Vegas. But instead of the capitalism cranked up to 11, it's more like an average city level of exploitation.
I was let down the first time tho, because I was expecting some Uncle Eddie shit:
I was similarly let down when I couldn't find that 5$ a plate all you can eat buffet.
I wonder if the wealthy becoming exceedingly more wealthy and wages stagnating has anything to do with this. Prices going up, wages not. Seems like nobody can afford vegas right now.
Hopefully they realise that they need us earning if they want us spending.
Are you saying a 90.00 buffet for one meal once at Ceasars palace isn't going to appeal to normal people?
Great news. I hope to see less wasteful spending.
