Man 100% agree with you, definitely miss the Vegas of even 10-20 years ago

You touched on some great points. I started going to Vegas in the late 80's. I miss the old days. Corporate greed took over.

I agree about the theme hotels! One of my favorite parts about Vegas

[jameshiga]

Hi Chris. The Pirate show at TI was a great attraction and gone. Now the Mirage Volcano is gone.Gonna miss that Volcano. It really was a great attraction on the Strip. Thanks for sharing and take care.

The best days of Las Vegas are long gone.

Definitely miss the old-school Vegas charm!

I agree wholeheartedly with everything said in this vid!

[Jack-gqkn]

Yes, I miss the MGM amusement park and live lions, Tropicana comedy club and Mirage volcano. With that said I am looking forward to the Hard Rock guitar, outdoor entertainment and all the concerts. There is nothing permanent in Vegas but change. Keep up the great content!

This was an awesome video!!! It brought back so many memories of what Las Vegas used to be and the things I loved about it. The affordable buffets to the coffee shops with great quick meals and those free lounge singing acts were definitely amazing! Hopefully they can bring back some of them and bring back that Las Vegas magic! Keep up the great work!!!

I miss the Paris buffet! I loved the crepes and the Parisian village ambiance so much. And at a fair price, too!

This is what happens when two main companies control the gaming commission. The gaming commission/Las Vegas approves the purchase of all the casinos by mainly two companies. So now we have essentially no competition and it’s a monopoly. It’s corporate greed to the max, fraudulent billing with hidden fees that they don’t have to disclosed until you check out practically. It’s not about the value or experience any more to the companies it’s about the bottom line and how many dollars can they squeeze out of every single person in every single way.

We used to love going there but it’s gotten so expensive that our last trip was probably our last

[RBWOO]

Great video and all true. Wife and I use to go every year twice. Now we hang gone for 3 years and no plans at all to go at all

[OaktownGirl]

💯! What's particularly frustrating about the trend against themed hotels is that so many themed hotels didn't keep up the maintenance and became run down. And the lesson Vegas took from that is, "People don't like themed hotels anymore". 😡

[G_Weller]

Along the lines of no more cheap buffets, even average restaurants on the strip have gotten way too pricey

[Jeannified]

You are so right, Chris! It is just sad.

[Regulus]

Went to vegas for the last Dead shows at sphere. Favorite place was Circa, NO KIDS! Thank you

[bonbonnie]

Chris, you are the best Vegas vloggger! ❤

To steal a quote from my dad who stopped going to Vegas 15 years ago, "The Mob had better customer service than these corporations do"
