Question of the Day - 13 June 2018

Due to rising prices and bullshit fees, etc, I just don't go to Las Vegas as frequently as I once did. Been there, done that, got the chip collection to prove it.

Go for good video poker schedules but now....

a) the only casinos where I can play FPDW
b) excellent variety of ethnic restaurants
c) something to do 24/7/365

I own a worthless timeshare in Vegas. I can't sell it.  I can't give it away.  So I'm forced to use it.  

You say, the MAIN reason you still come to Vegas, but there are and always have been multiple reasons. I think it would be unfair to try to narrow it down to one main reason. 

For the large variety of things to see and do, along with people watching.

1.  The decadence: It's still the place where you can indulge, live large, and let it all hang out without anyone passing judgment.

2. The value: I know how to stretch my dollar by avoiding places with fees and using LVA.  Even though hotels and restaurants cost more than they used to, the market is still somewhat competitive (or very competitive in the case of restaurants) and the standard of quality is pretty high.

3. It's always been my happy place.

4.  Whatever Westie said.  He's right about pretty much everything.

Variety of casinos, dining, shows (especially for us headliners, we've seen all the others), the weather (we live in the north), and shopping.  Plus, it's an easy vacation - lots of plans or no plans - it is lots of fun!

We don't go as often, but it's because of my husband's difficulty traveling and getting around, but we still try to go once a year, because there's no other place like it. We have lots of great memories of trips over the past 25 years.

We like to reminisce and take in all of the atmosphere and new additions. It's an indescribable feeling that we don't get anywhere else.

For the incredible variety of casinos and games, each a unique experience. Hard to get bored!

Multiple reasons; wife really enjoys the change from AC, get to see some good shows without a lot of travelling,easy to do things that are close to each other...shows/food, mini vacation,

One of the top reasons should be because of the savings you get with the LVA Member Rewards book. Plus, there's more than just the casinos here for fun and entertainment.

LV remains one of the places I can go to forget about all the responsibilities of home. How can you fret about minutiae when you're sitting in front of a dealer or slot machine or vp? It's also a place to escape overwhelming sadness and even grief, if only for a moment or two.

Pure escapism.  Still the Entertainment Capital Of The World.  Love the pools in the summer. Gambling isn't a priority. New restaurants and old favorites, shows and concerts are still a draw. Sports books during college basketball and football season.

Can't find where to answer.  Here are my reasons:
1.  Great weather (except summertime).
2.  Many places to visit and eat.
3.  Good local casinos.  Go once a week.
4.  Wife likes to shop at thrift stores.  Much cheaper than casino shopping.
5.  Driving on major streets is good, as long as construction is on route.

(1) Sent email with several more suggested options. (2) Enable voters to select more than one option. Even from your list above, I see a few for myself that are true. (3) THANK YOU! These polls are delightful.

1) The Weather (better than at home)
2) Quality of resorts is better than alternative such as Reno, Tahoe
3) Table games 
4) nightlife / top DJ's in the world
5) see the Golden Knights
6) see the Raiders (they are in my future plans!)
7) easy getaway weekend from CA

It's a ritual. I've been coming at least once a year for the past 29 years.  Also, love the scenery of Nevada, big change from Chicago.  Love being able to visit more than one casino by walking / driving just a short distance.  Still tons of things for the family to do if you go during the right time of year when it's not scorching hot.

For 3 - 4 days of non-stop gambling where I am staying for free with comps and get a few free or discounted meals using comps and/or my rewards book.

Being in Las Vegas makes me feel special!

The Las Vegas Strip is essentially a theme park all it's own, gambling permitted!

In October of 2016 we visited Las Vegas and stayed at the Mandalay Bay.  Paid a bunch for a room.  Paid a bunch more for the "Resort Fee".  Not to mention show tickets (Plus Fees) and less than thrilling meals at several restaurants (Plus Tips). And finally as we were leaving we dumped even more for the privilege of parking our own car.  We asked this same Question!  Answer:  We haven't been back to Las Vegas since.

There's no other place in the world like Las Vegas. So neat to visit and enjoy a different lifestyle.

We come to Vegas once or twice a year down from 3 - 4 times.  When we do come we avoid the strip.  
We like the shows but when we go to one we use Uber to avoid parking fees and won't gamble at any place that charges for parking

I don’t partake, but recreational weed is a secondary attraction now for people whose states don’t allow it. I doubt it’s a main reason to visit, but a perk if going for the gaming and nightlife. It seems every hotel on the strip caters to the clubbing crowd now. 

1. Inertia.
2. Because I actually like walking around in a pizza oven.
3. Because there is still SOME decent gambling there.
4. The Tangerine Toilet keeps sending me room offers.
5. Food's cheap. Ditto drinks.
6. For the same reason that some people like be tied up and whipped.
7. Easy to get to by plane.
8. Enjoy all the festivals and special events, even though I have to pay $1800 a night then.
9. I enjoy watching people throw up.
10. I want to eat as much buffet food as I can before I die/explode (re that Monty Python sketch).

The warmer weather in winter (I live in Canada and it can go to -30 Celsius)

My reasons:
- BARGE (and its "little brother" EMBARGO) 
- weather.   I was able to stay about 6 weeks this winter.
                   No snow!   And the unseasonably warm weather was a bonus.
- great video poker.   No full pay games anywhere near my home anymore.
                   But boo to the Fremont for downgrading their Pickem pay tables; was my favorite game.
- poker.   Best assortment of games and tournaments at all levels
- friends. Several of my friends have relocated to Vegas;  love visiting them and catching up.
- sightseeing.  Loved my drive from PA to LV.  Such different topography - are beautiful!  
                        Hanging out with friends along the way was a blast.  And alway love seeing and 
                        experiencing new things.   Oh, and I love how the mountains surround the city.
- dining.  Love the variety of foods, especially ethnic dishes.  Yum!
