Canadian visitation is waaaay down, because a) Trump barfed out plans to annex Canada, b) Trumpiffs are apparently hurting the Canadian economy even worse than they are hurting ours.
So some Vegas casinos are offering Canadians great deals. The best is the offer to exchange Canadian dollars for chips at par. As the Canadian dollar is worth $0.72 US, that's a bonus of $140 for every $500 Canadian buyin. Sweet!! And if that can be done multiple times, like every day, that amounts to an all but free vacay.
I'd like to ask our Canadian LVAers a few questions. In the last year-plus (since Trump oozed into office):
Have you canceled vacation plans to visit the US (Vegas or otherwise)?
Are the new casino offers enough incentive to visit Vegas when you wouldn't have otherwise?
Are there casinos within driving distance of Canada that are making similar offers?
We love and admire you folks and your beautiful country. I personally feel terrible about Trump crapping on our close friendship and hope it will be repaired and you forgive us.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, which has historically had multitudes of Canadian visitors. That was way down last year. Please ignore the shit coming from Washington DC and come visit us. The welcome mat is out!
(Oh, and smuggle in some maple syrup and we'll trade it for Kentucky bourbon.)
