The biggest industry outside of wall street built to fleece people of their money is hurting? Cry me a river.

They, the strip anyways, are all on wall street (stock exchange) now.
I only visited Vegas once, for a symposium. I do not understand the appeal of a city were parents walk around drunk all day pushing strollers, or placards advertising hookers, or gambling in games that clearly state on them you will lose.
It's a shithole within a shithole.

Well, I suppose if they could appeal to anyone to enter the states right now, it would be people who 'enjoy' big risk gambling...
Sucks to be you.
Get rid of the Führer and his Neo-Nazi party and their American GeStaPo, and tourists might return. Dead simple solution, isn't it?
Nevada is a solidly red state but Vegas (like basically all cities outside of Texas and Florida...) heavily favors Democrats. So I don't think this is a "leopards ate my face" situation.
But... yeah. That is the problem. A lot of cities are actively fighting back (not aware of Vegas doing so). But you still need to get to that city. And if I were fortunate enough to not live in this hell country, there would be nothing you could do to make me risk border control.
I thought that too, until I read this comment. So nah, it's a leopards eating faces situation.

Yeeeeeah, that's wrong. Harris won Clark county by about 2%. They favored Democrats but calling it "heavily favored" is really stretching it.

Dont let this fool you, my dumb ass fellows USians huff xenophobia to start their fucken day. They'll turn right back around to immigrants bad no matter what even if its just tourists and they aren't living here.
We need your money 👹
What is the closest equivalent to Las Vegas in Canada?
Niagara Falls, maybe?
I have an idea! What if those filthy Canadians were just stopped at the border and customs can just search them and confiscate any cash, then send them back to Canada and send the cash to Vegas. Then we don't have to deal with those annoying foreigners and we still get their money.
