Why did Vegas get so LOUD?

Just got back from Las Vegas and everyone has turned up the volume! I have been to vegas many times, so many times I have lost count. Everywhere has turned up the volume. You should be able to go into a store or resturant and have a conversation with the person next too you! I walked out of a few stores because the music hurt my ears. One store in the MGM and H&M at town square. When I asked the sales associate why the music was so loud, she stated it was for atmosphere, "That's what you call it"?. I love music, but not when it's this loud. Music is too create a mood not ruin it! I am concerned about what's it's doing too peoples hearing? (Mybe that's why it's so loud because everyone has lost their hearing)!

I guess next trip I'll take earplugs!
Dena with a Headache!

Its not just Vegas. Weve noticed the same thing shopping at home.......restaurants........

Nobody seems to understand the term, "Background music". Its for background. Set a mood.
And the Vol. should be LOW.

When it plays over Everything else in the store, or worse, your attempted conversation at a restaurant?

It becomes..........Not background.........but Noise.

We attended a Christmas party a week ago, and as the Band was setting up for their gig After
dinner..........but During dinner, while people were Trying to visit? We were having to Yell to each other.
I had enough, and Found a band member & asked them to turn their Audio DOWN while we were eating.
He was very nice & complied.
It was much better after the volume was Down.

I guess "speaking up" against background noise, is a good thing to do.

I am one of those auditorially challenged people. I HATE noise. However, I can listen to the TV without a problem. Here's why.... Music has a pattern and my brain fixes on that pattern and it distracts me. TV noise has no pattern and it really doesn't bother me.

Just sayin.

BIGGEST PAIN IN THE A$$ IS WHEN YOU GET ABOUT 5/6 YOUNGER WOMEN TOGETHER THAT ARE FULLY BLITZ AND THEY ARE PLAYING A PENNY MACHINE AND EVERY TIME ONE GETS A HIT THEY START SCREAMING AND YELLING LIKE THEY HIT THE MEGA MILLIONS. THE FINAL STRAW IS WHEN THEY ALL ENTER THE RESTROOM AND TOTALLY TRASH IT LEAVING ONE HELL OF A MESS. THE WORST PLACE FOR THIS IS THE GOLDEN NUGGET WITH THE MUSIC SO LOUD YOU CAN'T THINK AND ALL OF THE ABOVE IS ADDED.

First of all, why are you yelling???

Have you been visiting ladies' rooms?

The noise is designed to add to the excitement of the casino atmosphere. People having fun and being loud are what casinos want.

Toby Keith's I Love this Bar & Grill is so loud that the server can't hear your order. KGB Burger's thumping music is so loud that you are reluctant to walk up to the host podium to ask for a table. Instead you just keep walking past.

IN ANSWER TO LOUD MUSIC IT MAY BE WHAT CASINOS WANT FOR EXCITEMENT BUT REALLY ADDS NOTHING TO MY ENJOYMENT OF GAMBLING. SECOND NO i HAVE NOT BEEN INTO THE LADIES RESTROOM REALLY IT IS NOT MY THING SO I CAN ONLY GO BY OTHERS HAVE TOLD ME. THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO BLOW IT OUT OF CONTEXT. MY WIFE FOR ONE SAYS THE CONDITIONS LEFT BY SOME ARE JUST OVER THE LINE OF BEING DISCUSSING AND THERE IS NO REASONING WHY ONE SHOULD BE ACCEPT IT. GETTING BACK TO THE LOUD MUSIC THE GN HAS SOME OF THE WORST SELECTION OF MUSIC AND THE LEVEL OF THE SOUND IS NO WHERE'S CLOSE TO BEING ENJOYABLE TO ONES EARS OR ADDING TO THE EXCITEMENT OF GAMING.

To a point I'll agree. From the yells at the craps table to the shuffling cards at blackjack to the calls at keno to the various dings at video poker to the WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!s at slots, I expect casinos to have some noise to it.

fremont4ever---the screaming at the crap talbe the dinging of the certain video machines is what it is all about----screaming at the sportsbook during a throughbred race or a football game plays right along with the casino theme of excitement but the blarring of music in certain casinos is not part of the action. Believe me the GN is about the worst I have heard.

In restaurants, elevators, restrooms, etc, the music should be subdued,
and the actual songs played should be more soft-rock or less-energy classics.
.... I mean I don't want to feel the need to dance while I'm doing my business.

That said, in the casinos, on the Strip, by the pool, on Fremont Street, etc,
.............. Crank that $#*t up man, especially if it's a Kick-A$$-Rock'n song.

That's the way that stuff is supposed to be played
