Other destinations offered new horizons. Paying for comps three times over with gaming losses was no longer a "privilege." For others, the construction halt meant no new resorts to see and report on. For many it just lost it's luster. Flying into town and sitting in front of a slot or VP machine just wasn't a priority any more.
Many will continue to go as I do for numerous reasons, bit the hey day is over. These days I check the TR forum and you're lucky to see 4-5 new reports a week. In the day you might see that on a given day. I'm sure this means some members aren't going as much and as such have less trips to report. Also, LVA may not be adding new members like in the hey day. I initially subscribed for info. For a long while you've been able to find more info in five minutes on the net than in today's newsletter. Not LVA's fault, it's just a fact in today's connected world.
All this being said, I sure miss the old days with the reports from those mentioned and more.
Good Luck!

I don't know that the hey day is over for Las Vegas.
I posted last year asking " Where did everybody go?"
Sadly, I think maybe the hey day for the LVA message board is over.
This was my "go to"board for Vegas info.
The new content started to slow down and seemed to almost stop in some forums.I would check daily and there would be nothing new for several days at a time.
At the same time,other message boards are very,very active with some current and past posters here regularly contributing.I don't know the reason or have an answer but I do miss the days when all the previously mentioned posters were regularly contributing.
