Is this an attempt at an ad for Las Vegas?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

If so, sorry I'm already broke

I know this might seem shocking to you, but the aristocracy has made the calculated decision that they do not give a fuck about your “purchasing power”, or maintaining the livelihoods of the Las Vegas residents. From now on it’s table scraps and the boot for you useless eaters. If you don’t like that they got manacles and suicide pods. Welcome to the only logical conclusion this could ever have come to.

That’s what happens when you destroy the buying power of a nation and who would want to travel to a facist dictatorship run by a madman that’s not fun at all

Looks crazy different. I grew up there and moved away 20 years ago. Doesn't look familiar anymore

The parking lot across the way is empty. The Streets are lightly trafficked. There is no one on the sidewalk, tennis court or in the swimming pool.

Appears the reports of Vegas being empty are true.

How did you fit an entire building through the hotel door??

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

Good thing ya’ll have done this before. Sounds like a very difficult move. You know the more you do it.

I bet they had to pivot to get it down the stairwell.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Pivot! Pivahhhhht !

That's beautiful and ugly at the same time. Fascinating view.

Very cool! What excitement, anything in particular you're there for? How are the prices these days? Is everything expensive as shit since the pandemic? And most importantly do they still give free alcohol on the casino floors if you're doing some sort of gambling!?

I'm here for Defcon and this girl is around $160 a night midweek. Food prices are still stupid until you get way off the strip and the parking is free once again. I'm not sure about the free drinks. I get those other ways.

[–] foenix@lemmy.radio 5 points 6 days ago

Bha. I'm reading this from the cafeteria at DEFCON 😁

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Huh? The prostitute is 160 a night?

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

They are call girls Micheal!

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I'm guessing hotel rooms are feminine, like ships are?

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Vegas was already expensive as shit pre-pandemic, its even worse now
