Valid concerns Jacob brought up, IMHO: Broken escalators, occasionally the crazy homeless people, quality of food on the strip has definitely gone down. Which concerns seem like nonsense to me: No buffets (Good!), Taxi long haul ( Take buses or Uber/Lyft ), card handing out people ( Run into them on the sidwalk: nothing they can do about it if they are in your way.), driving congestion ( Do not drive in LV) , photo bombing people on the sidewalk ( I would not be taking pictures there anyways. )

Also every time I try to go swimming in the fountains, some you tube guy keeps yelling "hey get down from there...". Party pooper

Yeah it’s clear by my first time here in 20 years that everything is designed to maximize profits and take as much as your money as possible. When the MGM owns countless hotels, they also own all the food prices and a $6 bottle of water at one hotel is also $6 at the other hotel. Comes across as price fixing. And the convenience store at Mandalay Bay didn’t even post any prices, which codes across as dishonest.

I admire your honesty in dealing with the real issues in Vegas. I think the problem will always be the very nature of Vegas itself, from drinking to gambling - they are all vices that many people simply let get out of control. It's like trying to enjoy a walk in the forest with everyone playing with fire to some degree, you hope no one burns the forest down but most likely someone is always trying.

My last trip to vegas was in 97, went with a friend and his dad (we were 15) his dad lost everything and even pawned the car we drove there..lol.. we went from ballin & cruisin to broke & homeless in less than a week.. his grandma drove like 11 hrs to give us a ride home.. never did see his dads car again🤭

I have lived in Vegas for almost all of my life, and most everything is pretty true. The craziness seeps out of the strip a little bit.

I miss the old Vegas. I used to get comped suites, meals, show tickets, and all kinds of other stuff. Once the Corporations bought out the Mob, Vegas went downhill. When they made it family friendly also killed the cool vibe it had. You used to be able to get these coupon books that had decent coupns for free chips, match play, and casinos used to cash paychecks for free. I can remember if I had to pay for breakfast it was like 99 cents or some other low price. Now they nickle and dime you for everything and act like they are doing you a favor if they give you a Tee shirt. I also remember penny slots... cheap way to kill time.

I had a wonderful casino host when I used to go to Primm. The first I knew of him he actually called me in my room and wanted to know why I never asked for any comps.

In the 70’s for $20 dollars a person I could fly round trip from Orange County. Private bus round trip to the Sands Hotel. Free lunch at the cafe.. All you had to do was play $5 blackjack for 4 hours out of the 8 hours you were there. Did that many times and at Christmas time the Sands gave me $50 in chips, without me asking. I was not a high roller. I took about $400 to gamble with. And if you brought 10 people with you your trip was free. This deal was advertised in the newspaper for anyone to sign up for. Also the casino host would meet you at the Orange County airport and fly with you and always be around to help you. You could even leave the Sands for 4 hours if you did your 4 hours of playing $5 a hand blackjack. They put a little number on your shirt so the pit boss could keep track of you. It was as fun as It sounds.

You're right about crime especially in North Las Vegas. At night, a walk through naked city feels more eerie than East Oakland.

Yes, that homeless problem is real. I stayed at the Hilton next to Resort World on the LV Blvd and as I was pulling into the parking lot, a homeless looking guy dropped his pants and took a dump not more than 10 feet in front of us. Instead of parking, I drove to let the parking guard know what just happened and he immediately got on the radio. Wow, what an eye opener.

Another outstanding video. I miss the days of comps. Now it seems every casino wants you to get their players card and you need to accumulate points. I am a "Boomer" turning 21 in the 80's. I can remember playing craps and blackjack getting comped with meals quite often and they really pushed the drinks. Vegas has changed over the years, so have I.

DO NOT EXPECT CUSTOMER SERVICE IN VEGAS unless you are ready to TIP BEFORE anything is done for you. Very few have listening or communication skills.

Really informative vlog Jacob. I agree 100% with all of them. Also, too many Casino's have permanently closed poker rooms which has definitely made for less choice. If you are a poker player, it's really disappointing. You mentioned less Buffets - the affordable ones closed down leaving the very expensive Buffets open. I'm hoping more attention is being spent on Hotel room cleanliness which had gone right down the drain as housekeeping staff got laid off, quit, left Vegas. The examples of dirty rooms and grossness was captured by several You Tuber's I watch and it was something I'd never seen in Vegas over the past 20 years I've been going. Disgusting!

I had a homeless guy follow me while I going for my morning walk on Fremont and when I confronted him he threatened to shoot me.

Exactly, I have no problem ignoring lowlife degenerates. I would not give them money if their lives depended on it. I don't even acknowledge their existence.

I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago. Not only were the homeless numerous, they were as aggressive as I have ever encountered. In four days, we had half a dozen encounters but two were significant. Walking mid strip about 6-8 black guys basically cornered the myself and two buddies. They claimed to be rappers and wanted to give us some sort of mini CD. Then they said they work “for tips” and basically demanded money. It was tense and they were WAY inside of our personal space at this point. My buddy gave them $20 to appease the animals, but it was a mugging sans the weapons ( which I am sure they had.). The second was on Fremont street while we were watching a band on the stage near D hotel. A homeless black guy wondered next to us at the front near the stage, turned his back to us and slowly backed into me. I nudged him with my shoulder to let him know he was in my personal space and he turned looking upset. I told him he bumped into me and the blank glassy eyed stare back told me everything. He was either on drugs and/ or a mental case. Anyhow, he started to approach me two more times and each time I pushed him in the chest and told him to get back. Finally one of my buddies noticed and basically got in between us and the homeless guy eventually wondered away. What made me most uncomfortable was not the prospects of a fight since he probably weighed 120 lbs and was malnourished, but he constantly was fidgeting in his jacket pockets. Could have easily taken out out a weapon which would have changed everything obviously. Beware when you visit Vegas ppl.

I’ve mentioned this before on your KZread channel, I’ve been to Vegas 50 times since 1979. I’ve concluded it is done.

Sin City local slang for tourists ..., 'suckers'!!

Thanks for the video! I would have to say (almost applies to all locations) are the crazy concession and VCF fees charged for rental cars at BOTH LAS and hotel locations.

Can you get your room and call the local Enterprise to pick you up to avoid the fees?

Lol no. No where in the usa anymore. Car rentals R $400 A day now. Lack of new cars to use as rentals.

Originally, shows, restaurants, and other attractions were loss leaders. They attracted the crowds, many of whom would then gamble. But since Vegas went "family" in the late 1980s, they moved to a structure where each venue at the casino must be profitable. So, you don't get to have a great bargain at the buffet in order to get you to gamble. Going to Vegas--with crummy gambling, expensive attractions and restaurants, resort fees, parking fees, and all the rest--is like getting pecked to death by a pack of ducks.

Spot on

If you aren’t accustom to the Vegas climate be sure to stay hydrated. I’m from IL and passed out in Vegas due to dehydration. I woke up in a Vegas ER. That robs you of fun!

So glad you made it back home safely. I stay hydrated year round..cold weather will dehydrate you as well. If you do not want to drink all of the water check out the veggies and fruit that will help you with that.

:( That really sucks for you. I spent 86$ on non alcoholic drinks in 48 hours there, I'm used to swampy Louisiana and, it shocked my body hard being there. It was stupid to use casino convenience stores but, I was so used to expecting to have a free drink machine I could just walk up to like at my local casinos. I knew I was being taken advantage of and could've used CVS or Walgreens but didn't want to walk over there.

RESORT FEES, RESORT FEES, RESORT FEES...STOP THIS SCAM...

Just got back 2 weeks ago. Your video is spot on Jacob. Can't say I experienced everything listed but I saw many of them. One that hit home the most is that strip floors are nearly identical for slot players(credit to cosmo for having the most variety). Additionally they are very tight. Best day of play came on Freemont St.

I hope you enjoyed the trip Jay!

Alot of good mentions there. My top 3 annoyances would be the cost of food and beverage these days. The stench of weed in the casinos and guestroom hallways and the idiot card slappers.

It ruins my fun in Vegas when someone screams dont go swimming at me.

I was in Vegas for the first time for 5 days and I can certainly agree with a a few of these. Food is really expensive and hotels being really greedy. Stayed Caesers palace got complementary late check out no problem,Flamingo and Harrahs nope but certainly offered to pay for late check out. Also the homeless are every where especially in strip Hotspots and on the bridge crosswalks. Now let's talk about the card handers mannnn I ended up with a whole deck by the end of my stay 😂

I'll add number 19, the time share people. Man, I tell you all that you've mentioned, IDK if I want to visit Vegas again.

Last time i was in Vegas, we had a bit of a night out. Went bar hopping from Mandalay Bay and back to Cosmo. Near MGM Grand i was standing outside waiting for my friends, and some guy comes over to me and offer me a whole menu of drugs. I said no thank you, and he was fine with that. Then we just started talking. He was a very nice and polite guy. Moved down from washington because he was tired of cold weather. :p

Hey! No swimming! You’re a hero, friend. Keep on keepin on

This perfectly summed up my last trip to Vegas. We are (or were) considering celebrating my 40th birthday in Las Vegas.. but after my last trip, i don't know if we will. It's too expensive, too crooked, and too many people trying to hustle you.

I definitely noticed the broken escalators when I was there for July 4th weekend last month!!

You yelling at the dude was pretty funny not gunna lie good on you👍

The city feels like it has more tension than ever to me. I've been coming for 15+ years and the homelessness feels like it's a feverpitch. I mean you can't go to a restaurant at a strip mall or go to walgreens without being approached by multiple homeless people from multiple angles.

Another very good video Jacob. I agree it is becoming more difficult to get comps. And...if you do get one, you end up having to spend first to receive it. But the one that takes the cake is, where hotels are charging for cleaning rooms. It should be free....the resort fee should be part of that care.
