[QUOTE=SuckerBill;2218243]That is basically the point I was making. Tourists come to LV and throw around their vacation money at the casinos, so why not throw it around on other stuff. If you're willing to spend 96% of retail at an outlet mall and fool yourself into thinking you got a great deal on a Tag Hauer watch, then why not throw some extra cash at a Las Vegas hooker and add it to the whole vacation experience.
If not for the tourists, the cost of LV hookers would probably be half what it is everywhere else. But, if not for the tourists, there probably wouldn't be so many girls coming to Las Vegas to make money with their pussies.[/QUOTE]Totally agree with you sucker!!
[QUOTE=Guady1;2218311]The price hikes go beyond mongering. Have you checked the prices for nightclubs, food, drinks, buffets (at the higher end casinos). People are paying the prices commanded. I think when people visit here from wherever, they feel more freely about their money, its about the experience.
How many people who come here, have strip joints at home? I am sure everybody has some level of P4 P, just read the International or USA guides. I watch how people tip at restaurants, would they tip that much at home?
Sometimes its about showing off or trying to be someone they are not. Does anyone know what the doorman makes at the casinos? I am not going to say because you probably wouldn't believe me.
People lose money at the slots and just think of it as entertainment, the casinos have figured out how to entertain the money right out of your pocket. Would someone take a $100 bill and lay it on the ground and walk away? What's the difference with a slot machine? I guess you got some entertainment out of it, same results though, down a Benjamin.
Vegas is a place to do something that you wouldn't or couldn't do at home. When I would travel and I am taking the last plane to vegas, you could tell is was going to party city, there was a different atmosphere on the plane. I remember leaving a Cali city coming here, there were 2 girls dressed vegas nightclub style. Man, everybody had to say something, it was too much for this "saintly" city-hehe. It was nothing to me, I just thought they couldn't wait to get to vegas, they didn't care, they were ready to party.
Prices are not fixed here, if you want to pay 5 roses, that's on you. You can get what want even at 100 roses if you took the time. Remember, overnight delivery cost.[/QUOTE]Guady yes I believe you I to know what the doormen make depends where they work could be as little as 50 k as high as 150 k that I heard. It's pretty sick I can't wait till I get a piece of the strip money!! But I am patient.
