MUTH’S TRUTHS
TDS – “Trump Derangement Syndrome” – is a real thing, and Nevada U.S. Catherine Cortez Masto has a bad case of it.
Yesterday, she twit-tweeted…
“Trump’s chaos is pushing many would-be visitors to Nevada to change their plans, and that’s having a devastating impact on our small businesses and workers that count on tourism to keep their doors open. Fewer visitors mean less money in the pockets of working families.”
To which I responded…
“Yeah, it couldn’t possibly be because of exorbitant ‘resort fees,’ paid parking on the Strip, and $26 bottles of water, could it?”
And others chimed in…
- “Leave it to the stupid demoncrats to blame everything on President Trump. They conveniently forget Biden’s 9% inflation his 1st year & almost as high inflation every year thereafter.” – @MissyMaltese
- “Correct, it’s not Trump. It’s the crazy prices on the strip. I’ve lived in Las Vegas for 20 years and Strip prices are nuts. $50 to valet Park, $550 for the chef tasting menu at Guy Savoy, $30 drinks at the bar. That’s the problem.” – @Freedomranes87
- “We’re pricing ourselves outta the market thanks to @BlackRock. We need entrepreneurs running our casinos. Not accountants!” – @wgklv
- “Exactly, used to be able to get cheap thrills and a good buffet anywhere in the state for a good price… now neither of those are true. There’s nothing drawing people here anymore.” – @bkbart80
- “I’ve lived around Reno my whole life. Used to be 99 cent breakfast and free drinks. I would gamble and lose my ten dollars and everyone was happy. Now it costs money before you can even get in the door.” – @ron56_ron
- “Las Vegas buffets used to be significantly cheaper, often seen as a loss leader to attract gamblers to casinos. In the past, casinos used inexpensive buffets, sometimes as low as $0.99, to lure people in, understanding that they would likely spend more gambling.” – @Moke1966758
- “Vegas is way to expensive now.” – @stickymickey70
- “Vegas has totally changed in the last three decades. It went from the customer is king to Welcome to LA.” – @TLC6191
Vegas, we have a problem.
