With the ongoing gouging of the gamblers that come to Las Vegas where else are you spending your discretionary money?
For less gambling money than we spend now we used to be able to stay, eat, drink, and see a show or two all comped from our gambling. Now the rooms we still get comped but have to pay $30 a night resort fee. Drinks are comped while playing but $8 for a Bud Light on the Strip if not gambling. Most places I earn about $1 of food comps for every $1000 dollars of play. Show tickets, forget about it! Drinks at the pool $12. Now parking $10. I find this insane but still manage to make 3 trips a year.
On the other hand we have started going to all-inclusives in Mexico and the Caribbean for seven nights around $1200 each all in. Great rooms, decent drinks, ok to good food, amazing beaches, awesome pools with swim up bars, and most of all impeccable service.
Just curious if others have made this switch as well?
