Most people are lucky to be able to have one big trip like that in their lifetime. I couldn't imagine cashing it in on something that shitty. On top of that, I have to lose a ton of money and get accosted on the streets by all kinds of drunks and people selling you stuff? No thanks.

I'm lucky I live somewhere that has a lot of affordable vacation choices if you're into the outdoors. We can take a couple of smaller getaways every year because we do it on the cheap.

It's basically a monopoly now. Adelsons (Zionazis) ran it into the ground. That totally not Saudi-CIA-Mossad-ISIS arms deal gone bad shooting that Trump 1.0 covered up was the last time I was there.

I went there annually for about 10 years. Used to be I could take $20 and play quarter slots for an hour with a diverse arrary of games and odds. Now it's "penny" generic same shit where you need to put in at least $1.50 and maybe get $0.07 on a win - not even your bet back.

Hotel rates and fees are outrageous. No more cheap food. Even the buffets are ridiculously priced. Quality of the rooms nosedived too.

Shows can be cool. Circ de Solei is always a good time. Every now and then there were rando shows like Bruce Cambell doing a nerd trivia game show night. That guy is a serious lore keeper. Or Wayne Brady doing standup which is always fun. Hard to catch and then debate is it worth a plane gamble on Boeing and dealing with TSA shenanegans and cramper ass crowded long flights. I've avoided planes since like 2018.

Perfer regional road trips now. More economical. Hotels.com can score some decent deals. A co-worker of mine had a good time at Dollywood recently and I'm thinking that should be something to do soon before she passes and the quality control goes numb.

They should implement some sort of gambling anime horse game. Should fix things.

I loved it, but that kind of thing is very much my jam and I was also on drugs.

There were some good Vegas movies like Casino but as far as I'm concerned it can turn back into the desert.
