(+) Yeah! (+)

The price gouging and nickel and diming is getting to be too much for me.

I can tolerate the overall high price on things, you can anticipate that in advance but there are no deals anymore.

Hotels are cheap until you add on resort fees, then theyre not. This fee does nothing, you get nothing for it. Its the same amount at hotels where the pool is closed for the winter. Why not just make it part of the room rate? Because it shows up as cheap on those 3rd party travel sites.

Food is pricey, but the selection and quality is great so Im fine with it. But, most all restaurants are adding some bs 2% fee on everything that is not a gratuity. Its just a fuck you, pay me fee.

Drinks, lol. If you order a drink in a strip casino bar youre an idiot. This is the one I care least about as there are still plenty of cheap places and can just carry a flask like I do.

The biggest change is now the sports book. You want to watch a football game at a sports book you have to reserve a fucking spot. Good seats are at least $500, shitty ones are $200.

I used to love rolling into a book on Sunday morning with a coffee and hungover as shit to sit in the back and watch a game. But not now, unless you pay its standing only.

The state of gambling could be its own topic.
