Of course, I'm talking mostly about the strip and not off strip or where the locals hang out:

I haven't been to Vegas since around 2002 or so (I forgot the exact year). I'm also obviously a lot older now, and dealing with all that bullshit just sounds exhausting now lol.

Yeah, but not this bad lol. Hotels charging for parking, no longer giving out free drinks (unless you spend X amount gambling or whatever), resort fees, concert/show fees that cost more than the actual ticket itself, buffets costing $60+, etc. lol.

That's not a result of vegas becoming more touristy or casinos becoming more stingy. The economy's in the toilet right now. It's just not financially worth it to them to throw around "free" shit like that right now.

And it's not financially worth it to go to Vegas since I can play poker at the casinos here in Arizona lol.

You say "now", but it's never going to go back to the way it used to be. Just like how gas prices aren't expensive "now", they're never going back down.

Maybe, maybe not. If you should take anything away from the past couple of years it's that none of this is certain.

What's considered expensive now could be considered cheap 10 years from now even if it costs more than it currently does with the same units of currency. All of this is malleable over time. Hell, we could be paying for gas and groceries with bored ape nfts a decade from now for all I know.
