I get it. Many straight guys will spend any amount of money to get laid, and there are plenty of beautiful women waiting to get pampered and drunk. They meet here at this mecca. For me, this is a huge complex designed to bilk the willing of their dollars. I moved from Oregon to LA and the LV Strip makes LA seem not only affordable but living at a discount by comparison. With every swipe of a card or selection of any product or service you can expect to pay a $2-$10 premium per item for spending your money at loud, dark, meandering venues full of drunk horndogs and the hos craving their attention. I have met more people with success playing lottery tickets than gambling here. And I know far more people who have gambled here. I think it has changed in recent years for the worse. Whether it is a soft drink, taxi, beer or a FAX, it is fully normal here for things to cost double what you pay anywhere else but maybe Manhattan. There are fewer people handing you porn ads on the sidewalks, replaced by more people separating you from your money legally. Bleh. Leaving early. Everything here is available in any big city but for much less. I am not in this venue's target market.
