Las Vegas Strip resort casino charges outrageous fee
Big-name resorts on the Strip keep finding shocking ways to raise prices and get more money out of customers.
Las Vegas has its arrogance back.
During the Covid pandemic, Sin City gained a little humility. It had to close for a period and then had to win customers back.
First, it had to prove things were safe, and that was kind of a moving bar, depending on who was asking. It also had to show that Las Vegas could be Las Vegas and bring all the fun that it used to.

Part of getting people to come back was lowering prices. In the days of social distancing and mask wearing, free rooms were very easy to come by, and people who normally got free rooms got some very good upgrades.
Restaurants offered specials, and many shows were sold at discount prices.
That did its job, because by the time the Super Bowl and other major events came to the city, prices were higher than ever. Now Las Vegas has seen some slowdowns as consumers pull back their spending.
