Who did Nevada vote for in the last election...? Oh that's right...
Fuck you, your gambling, your shit weather. You did this to yourself and are fucking over the entire nation. I am glad your businesses are failing, tourism is in the toilet, and that Canada is wisely choosing to spend their money at a better place.
The US can seriously get fucked. They like our $ that is all. Shithole country.
The feeling is not mutual. Signed, a Canadian
From my understanding is even if shit was fine Vegas would still be suffering as they have been bleeding guests for years as it gets more overpriced
If you miss us so much, come visit us and spend your money in Canada.
Only down 50%. Shameful. Canadians need to do better.
Get those numbers up!
Sure I could get Canadian currency at par but I could end up in an El Salvador death camp. I guess it adds an extra layer of gambling on top of the blackjack table!
Or a bullet on your back, or your face
Haven't been to the US since Bush Jr. My kids have never been there and we encourage them to stay away, espcially the past decade or so. They do.
Good luck fascist hellhole.
What if we sweetened the deal with free passes to target shooting as a door gunner from a helicopter gunship in vegas.
Belt fed, mounted machine gun shooting.

It can be paired with a "Ride with the US Border Patrol" tour in the CBP explorer program. Its focussed on young male fascists age 14-20, but you can also do ride alongs as an adult fascist.

Or theres also a great prison tour in Carson city of the Nevada state prison. Have to buy tickets well in advance, they sell out and are very popular. https://nevadastateprison.org/pages/visit If these don't get the canadian tourists back as disaster tourists, nothing will.
(half /s). All those tour options are real, check em. This whole country gets more effing crazy by the day.
"we'll give you like a 20% discount because WE MISS YOU! All you have to do is cross the border, risk being detained and sent to Ecuador or something if your paperwork isn't perfect or you're brown or if you've ever said anything online that disparages Dear Leader, and if you do get across the border you'll get to enjoy visiting a fascist state with roaming bands of masked thugs grabbing people off the streets. Why won't you come stay in our hotel? WE MISS YOU!"
Nice try, ICE.
That's a fantastic deal, but uh, no deal is gonna work.
I'm disappointed in the mafia. They aren't even trying to fix this.
Eat sand assholes.
"Eat sand, assholes?" Or "Eat sand-assholes?"
I'm ok with either one.
As a Canadian... Fuck off.
As an American, I'm glad the US is suffering. Since 33% of our population is stupid/racist/homophobic/transphobic and just overall pieces of shit, the only way they will change is experiencing the consequences of exactly what they voted for. Thank you Canada for the find out phase at least 1/3 of us Americans deserve. I'm not happy about how financially fucked over I'm going to be, but I will take one for the team if it means putting a stop to Trump, American Imperialism, and fascism.
As someone still begrudgingly living in America as a US Citizen, fuck us up Canada
Also Vegas:
The agreement, known as 287(g), creates a partnership with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) where local law enforcement officers are deputized to carry out federal immigration duties. However, Berkley said that she didn’t push Sheriff Kevin McMahill one way or the other before he joined the program.
“Come here! Give us your money! Possibly be sent to a death camp!”
“We'll even give you the slightest of discounts!”
Pathetic.
I mean you could also get shot execution style for trying to help someone that a mask wearing state sponsored terrorist just shoved to the ground. You have options
They'll do anything but address the problem in Washington.
They couldn’t pay me to visit.
Three downtown Las Vegas hotels have begun accepting the Canadian dollar at par with the American dollar in an effort to spur Canuck travel.
Yeah that won't do shit. Canadians kinda have had it with their Southern neighbor shenanigans. Wanna boost tourism to Las Vegas?
Hang a certain unnamed person from a bridge there, Canadians will come back and watch
People are still getting detained for what appears to be arbitrary reasons related to their skin colour, and these detentions have led to violent incidents carried out by agents of the state. Even if you survive the initial arrest, the detention centres also appear to be lawless. Detainees are subject to additional violence or sexual violence, and the conditions are inhumane.
Vegas offers to be a honey pot for a conflict zone. Any sane person would rather visit another civilization.
CEO Derek Stevens tells CTV News. “We miss our best friends.”
did CEO Derek Stevens vote for trump? if yes, well then, vagas deserves to fail.
Thoughts and prayers. Nope.
Still not going. Sorry.
I’d say don’t go even if they pay you.
They could cover the flight and give 100% off accommodations. Wouldn't make a difference. Not going back. There's a big world of places I would much rather spend time in and I'm at peace with never going to the US again.
I hope Americans visiting Las Vegas start changing their money to CAD to take advantage of this little arbitrage opportunity!
I'd sooner go to New Vegas with Deathclaws roaming around.
They miss the $
Anyone who still travels to the Fourth Reich (without a life or death reason) is an open supporter of fascism. They deserve whatever happens to them.
It’s the Turd Reich
Americans are NOT our friends.
No thanks, I’m not going fascist fun town.
LOL they're SO desperate. We're not coming back
