The Flamingo pool.... the prices are insane.

"A bucket of six Coors lights was priced at a staggering $76.99, with 24 cold ones running up to $290.99 - a near 15 times markup from its usual $20 price.

'I can keep going here,' the partier who filmed his menu said as he listed off the pricey options.

Cases of Topo Chico or Truly hard seltzers, which typically cost around $30 to $35, were also sold for almost $300.

For drinkers who want a mixed cocktail, a large Bloody Mary would set them back $40 per drink.

And six shots, a total of just 9 fluid ounces, costs $99.99 in the party hub on the iconic Vegas strip.

Food options at the pool weren't any more reasonable, with a chicken tender platter or a cheeseburger slider plate running up to $89.99. "

The most amazing thing about this is that there are many who willingly pay these prices.

Those are insane. But, by all means, let the idiots that want to pay those prices, pay them. Wow!

Is that the new Go pool? A large gender neutral toilet on the strip, only beat by Circa's Stadium Swim due to the sausage fest during March Madness? Appropriate name, "Go".

While Vegas is good at the gouge (off Strip is priced better) Disney World are the masters. Their so called moderate hotels (think Hampton Inn level) can exceed $300 per night. A Magic Kingdom ticket can approach $150 with many of the rides shut down for repairs. Sit down mediocre dinners exceed $50 and QSR $25.

They are also struggling with attendance

While I can't rule it out in the future (perhaps if Trump buys the place), for now, no one is being forced to go to Disney World. I've been there exactly once, which was enough. I suspect that many visitors consider it the same way.

But as I've said about Vegas, you can very, very easily ascertain pretty much exactly what your visit will cost, and if you do so and go there anyway, well...don't complain.

I expect that their attendance problems are due to the Trumpcession as well as the naked hostility Trump has shown to many of the countries from which visitors come. No one wants to vacation in America when its leader wants to annex your country and/or destroy its economy.
