Will "bargain time" ever arrive?

Post-9/11, there was a slew of bargains. After the Republican recession of 2007-2009, there was another huge grab bag of good deals (and that one went on for quite a while). But so far, the Vegas casinos aren't offering much of anything to get people to return to their favorite money dumps. Instead, they've shut down properties (some, maybe, for good?), curtailed services, jacked up table game limits, and offered far fewer amenities. PLUS, they've almost uniformly raised room rates!

This could be due to Vegas casinos' historical shortsightedness. They perhaps realize that the current mini-rush of business will peter out quickly and they want to milk it for all it's worth. Perhaps they are assuming that people, starved for a way to lose their money, will come to Vegas no matter what and pay whatever is asked.

So, fast forward to a time when we've thrown the orange idiot out of office, we have a proven vaccine that is being nationally distributed, and our incidence of cases has fallen to that of more civilized countries. Vegas welcomes tourists with open arms!!! My question is: do you think it will be Bargain City (however briefly), or will it be same ol' same ol' gouge gouge gouge gouge gouge?

I am curious - was the topic of this posting really about future bargains in Vegas - or - just another opportunity to disparage the President? 

Helpful tip: you can discover the topic of a new thread by reading its title. Glad to help.

(I didn't disparage Trump; I called him an orange idot, and he is indeed both orange and an idiot. And I'll say whatever I want about him. Free speech is still alive and well and won't be outlawed unless Trump wins a second term.)

ENJOY Amy Coney Barrett and the decades-long Republican control of SCOTUS!  XD

I don't think you'll seee those bargains until people are comfortable with flying again. They are doing ok on weekends, but very slow mid week which has always been good because of tourists. Another huge factor is no convention business. When people start flying again, things will start picking up, I think you'll start seeing more specials. It's going to take time though.Remember that during the recession they had full or near full planes coming in, all restaurants open and shows in full operation. For a lot of people, the last two are deal breakers themselves.

Good Lucl!
