Thanks for the info.  That is a good deal.  I got sent an email at the end of May from the Downtown Grand for $57 a weekday night plus tax with the same perks plus 1 pm check-in and check-out and a upgrade to the Gallery tower.  I'm continually getting emails from the Golden Nugget promoting their no resort fee deals.  Until the end of the week, the Sahara has a $59 deal with no resort fee.  It looks like the casinos may be hurting.  Take care.

It's normally a slowdown between Fourth of July and Labor Day (as it should be; Hell has very few tourists) anyway. If they're segueing to bargain-ish mode, I think it's more because of the general dropoff in tourism caused by economic uncertainty (Trumpiffs), rather than people staying away because they're horribly sick of being ripped off. That hasn't been deterring anybody, apparently.

The reason I draw this distinction is, when it's a visitation problem, the casinos dangle room bargains but keep everything else in gouge mode. So I still expect the $24 grilled cheese sandwiches, $25 parking, and $50 minimum 6:5 blackjack. They're going to have to do more to get MOI there in the Inferno months.

   Economic uncertainty is not the reason - the REAL reason is that visitors are tired of being ripped off. - Case in point - Resorts World has stopped charging a rip off resort fee AND paid parking - and this is not because of "economic uncertainty"- it is because no one is visiting/ staying there as was verified last Friday when NO ONE was there. 

Nope. Visitation was booming in 2022-2024. We all know that the gouge was in full operation then. Didn't slow things down at all.

What's different now is that people are worried about a possible economic slowdown, recession, whatever you want to call it. Every indication of vacationers' planning and spending--bookings, purchases, actual travel--is down about 20% (nationwide, not just Vegas). Polls have also shown that many people are putting their vacation plans on hold.

Now, Trump disciples will say that his "big, beautiful tariffs" aren't hurting the economy at all and that we are headed for the bigliest, most wonderfulest economy in the history of the galaxy. Of course--they don't think rationally and would NEVER criticize their Dear Leader or any of his policies. But the fact remains that taxation of the average person has more than doubled due to the increased cost of consumer goods. And when an economic slowdown happens, discretionary spending is the first sector to take a hit.

But hey, if no one has any money to visit, Vegas will indeed be cheaper!!

Geez, can you guys keep your politics in the Toilet/Sink forum please?  

I have deleted my post.  While not really political, it did deviate from the original topic.  My apologies. 

It ain't politics to observe the in-progress national economic slowdown, not is it politics to mention the cause. Trump's idiot tariffs were not a political decision, any more than a dog shitting on the lawn.

My observation was simply to compare this year to this time last year, and to say why it's different now.

 I stand by my assessment. 

It's both.  It can be both, and it is both.
