(7,081 posts)It's $20 to park your car when that used to be free or if casino's did charge, it was $5. Food at dining establishments have skyrocketed and so have show/event tickets. And never mind the price of the room, they advertise a cheap rate and then tack on a bunch of extra's like "resort fee's" to use the internet and pool (and the pools are closed during the winter).
And quality has gone down on everything.
And of course most people don't gamble anymore, they know the odds are stacked against them. But the casino's keep raising the minimum bets to the point people for sure won't bother. Having some cheap table games, even if electronic, is more likely to get people to actually play (seen it in Native American casinos). Heck, if you make the parking fee a voucher to play on the games you would actually encourage people to play beyond that.
The level of greed is pushing people away and of course the clown in the Whitehouse isn't helping with foreign tourists.
