Bulletin! Bulletin! Stop the presses. A Bobby Vegas emergency has been declared. Calling all able-minded swift-fingered patriots.
Developed in the last hours of Memorial Day, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is: Come to Vegas. Now.
To paraphrase Ed Harris’ quote from Apollo 13, “Failure is not an option. People, work the problem.”
People! Men, women, heck, bring your dogs if you have to, America needs you today, so step up.
My best bud Bobby Wilson alerted me that he was driving down the Strip (during the BTS K-Pop invasion at Allegiant, no less ) and said the street was as empty as COVID. He’d invited his son to town to take advantage of hotel rooms for $0. Zero? I had to check it out. Okay, I didn’t find any zero-dollar rooms, but I was stunned to find on Expedia Strip hotels for $8-$20 a night!
Here they are: Circus Circus, Harrah’s, Horseshoe, Linq all $8; Flamingo and Excalibur $9; Luxor and Sahara $12; Strat $15; Planet Hollywood $20. These are all before resort fees, so call it $50-$60 total per night. On the Strip! Find a hotel anywhere in the U.S. right now for less than $125 to $200.
“All we are asking is give Vegas a chance.”
Be an American. Gamble. Eat! (As Grandma used to say, “You’re just skin and bones!”) Party, dance, see shows, buy clothes, but come to VEGAS.
America needs you. More important, Vegas needs you. All you need to do is super easy. With literally tens of thousands of empty hotel rooms (especially if you’re flexible and can come Sunday to Thursday), grab a super-value Bobby Vegas vacay.
The Canadians abandoned us. The Mexicans. The Asians. While Americans are being socked with $4 and $5 gas, food inflation, rising utilities, the corporates are desperate, throwing deals out there you NEED to take advantage of. Smell blood? Pounce.
Frankly I’m tired of all the Vegas bashing. This is a value play of epic proportions. Don’t miss out. Grab it.
With any active casino play, they’ll roll out the red carpet and toss in free … well, everything. Free play, food credits, shows — you name it, you can probably get it. Just ask. Then tell us. Report back to us here @ LVA HQ.
Pining for the good ol’ days? They’re here. Again. I stayed at the Stardust for $14 a night with $10 free play back and a free buffet coupon or two.
I’ve been raving about the insane deal the Wynn’s been sending me that, when all the free play and food credits are subtracted, ends up costing $6.50 a night. For the Wynn.
People. Step up. Vegas needs you. Ask not … no, correct that. Do ask what Vegas can do for you and what you can do for Vegas. Easy peasy. Just show up.
We thank you. We salute you. Now go find the good machines and rock the house, baby. Patriotism never felt this good.
