Every year, tens of millions of people come to Las Vegas with the intention of spending money. Hitting it big in a casino is part of the dream that drives people to the desert in droves, but the reality for the majority of Las Vegas visitors is that the experience they want to have is going to cost them.
And, for the most part, they are OK with that.
However, more and more people are expressing frustration over rising costs associated with patronizing a Las Vegas casino-hotel, particularly in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic. From resort and parking fees to surge pricing in sundry stores to table games with a greater house edge to exorbitant markups on food and drinks, there is growing sentiment that the public is being squeezed when they visit a Las Vegas casino.
