Charles Coleman+FollowVegas hotels: When did surviving get so pricey?Shelling out $200 in just 24 hours at Caesars Palace—without even splurging—has become the new normal for Vegas visitors. From $15 coffee pods to $57 resort fees, and even a $12 ATM charge, it feels like every basic need comes with a premium price tag. Forget about a cheap meal or using the mini-fridge—everything is sensor-monitored and costs extra. Locals and longtime fans say the city’s lost its budget-friendly charm. Is Vegas pricing out its own magic, or is this just the new reality for big tourist cities? How do you feel about the rising costs? #News #LasVegas #TravelCosts00Share
Justin Dixon+FollowWhy I skip the Strip for Valley of FireThe real magic of Las Vegas isn’t just in the neon lights—it’s in the wild, sun-soaked beauty just outside the city.

Faith Jackson+FollowCromwell closes for Vanderpump Hotel makeoverThe Cromwell is shutting its doors for nearly two months as it transforms into the new Vanderpump Hotel—marking a major shift on the Las Vegas Strip. If you had plans to stay there between mid-February and April, you’ll need to make other arrangements. While the casino and Giada restaurant will stay open, everything else goes dark for the revamp. The outside won’t change much, but inside, expect new rooms, suites, and a lounge, all with Lisa Vanderpump’s signature style.

Faith Jackson+FollowVegas slots: Are payouts getting stingier?Las Vegas slot players have noticed their luck isn’t what it used to be—and it’s not just in their heads. New research from UNLV shows that casinos are keeping a bigger slice of every dollar played, with the average “hold percentage” rising steadily since 2004. While regulations cap how much a machine can keep, the Strip’s slots are now tighter than ever, meaning less money back for players. Even though the games are still random, your odds of walking away a winner have dropped by over 25% in the last two decades. Anyone else feeling the pinch at the slots lately? #News #LasVegas #Slots00Share
Paige Douglas+FollowVegas trips now cost double—here’s whyLas Vegas used to be the go-to spot for a fun, affordable getaway, but lately, visitors are feeling the sting of hidden costs. Resort fees—now running $35 to $55 a night—are quietly doubling hotel bills, even if you skip the pool or gym. Nearly 90% of people polled say Vegas is just too expensive, with everything from water to coffee priced sky-high. Even with new rules making fees more visible, casinos won’t drop them because they’re a goldmine. Do you think these fees are ruining the Vegas experience, or is it just the new normal for travel? #Business #LasVegas #TravelCosts57Share
