I wonder what Vegas will be like in the years ahead....

Quadruple Zero Roulette going in all casinos effective immediately

Legalized online gambling is a far bigger threat to Las Vegas than a seasonal flu. What’s the incentive to go to Vegas when I can place the same bets from my home? Nothing.

Shows aren’t enough to keep Vegas percolating either.

Good weather and sunshine. Most places in USA have terrible winter weather and humid summers. Vegas has neither of those things. It's a great vacation destination. Close to Grand Canyon, one of the coolest landmarks in the entire world. Now it has an NFL team.

Idk how the casinos will do necessarily but the actual city is a good vacation and conference destination. I've gone to Vegas before on a trip and didn't gamble. I went to the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, went skydiving and a bunch of other shit. I didn't have time to gamble.

I would go back to Vegas even if there weren't casinos but obviously the casinos are what attracts a lot of people and is a big plus for degens. I would live in Vegas just bc of the weather. Outside of CA and AZ, it's hard to find warm, sunny yearlong weather that isn't swampass humid all summer.

Winters actually nice and chilly.

Vegas will be yesterdays news after the virus is finally is gone. Why go there when you can bet on the internet on sites like Heritage , 5 Dimes and Bookmaker from your recliner. Costs of flying, hotel rooms, transportation and etc costs adds up.

you are acting like these sites just popped up during all of this...the fuk is the post even supposed to mean?

[pimike]

Lol

[xKMACKx]

The bottom line is what counts. Vegas will have to give away hotel rooms and etc to get sports bettors back to Vegas.

They could give two F's about sports bettors hence they don't get comps. Vegas makes money on slot players, high rolling baccarat players, dining, and entertainment.

What Vegas will care about is the nightclub industry getting crushed for a while. They make far more charging thousands for bottle service versus the degen betting $10.00 parlays in the sportsbook.

[Sol Diablo]

It means he's usually broke and didn't have money to go to Vegas before this happened, and won't after.

[chidondollars]

Just praying when this will happen,SBR will allow people to edit their SBR username.A lot of Vegas username here

[TheLock]

What’s the incentive to go to Vegas when I can place the same bets from my home?.

I go to Vegas once a year with all my guy friends for a week of nice steakhouses, sportsbook, craps, day pools, Egg Slut and no wives and girl friends.

Is that enough inventive to leave the house?.

[jjgold]

I read yesterday people already starting to leave

[sweethook]

it will be packed with the democrats racist base , the same as its been

Exactly.

I'm a friend of the band "The Killers"
They're Las Vegas based and a couple of years ago I flew out 3400 miles from the East Coast to see the 10 year anniversary extravaganza of the "Sams Town" release at Sams Town.

I would have flown out anyways even if I wasn't into gambling.
I have MMA junkie friends that have no interest in gambling fly out for some championship matches.
I'm not a Celine Dion fan but some my wife's girl friends have gone to Vegas just to party and see her show.

Point being even if you aren't into gambling there's still not just concerts, but elite concerts and shows, world class golfing, and a ton of other activities Vegas offers that you just can't get pretty much anyplace else.

Vegas will suffer short term, that's a given, long term they'll be thriving again.
If I was a betting man (and I am) I'd make book on that.

lolololololol
Vegas doesn't evolve around sportsbettting, my Gawd
Even so, sportsbetting will be fine here, but one or two outs have a small chance of going broke if the casinos are still blacked out come July 1, some will begin to really worry if they can survive.

[Sam Odom]

-FH- still trapped in Vegas

[Jayvegas420]

Vitalvegas.com reports that MGM and Caesars properties planning on opening late April early May

Probably summer and recovery will be slow.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Sportsbetting is a small part of Vegas, which is why some of the casinos have turned their books over to WillHill or CG Technology.

[Hushie]

Jesus Christ it makes me cringe to read all you asshats who lose your social security check weekly on WNBA totals try to act like you know how things will be once this all blows over.

[jjgold]

The hotels and night clubs are going to be badly hurt


Once somebody gets corona goodbye nightclub and this coulD even happen in the fall

[funnyb25]

I bet Vegas gets pretty busy right away after all of this, then dies for good after the rush.

[stevenash]

then dies for good after the rush.

Vegas is to diversified for it to die for good.

[CanuckG]

Vegas will always thrive

Average sports bettor severely overestimates their worth to the casino. They are fleas. There is a reason why you get virtually zero comps for sports bets aside from drink tickets.

Bring back free valet?

Bring back the comped cigarettes.
When I was going to Vegas when I was 21 I never had to pay for my smokes.
1/4 century later, I can't get a comped cigarette.

Can we climb this mountain idk Higher now than ever before

Somebody told me you had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend that I had in Feb. of last year

I've got soul but I'm not a soldier

I just can't look it's killing me and taking control

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus but he talks like a gentleman like you imagined when you were young

You can definitely see the Vegas influence in their lyrics. One of my favorite bands from the 2000s. Many great memories listening to those songs with friends. Honorable mention to Panic! And 5 finger Dp for coming out of Vegas also.

they used to cost .35 a pack of 20. i don't think the casinos were getting hurt then by doing it.
