Is Vegas still a value? What’s really happening with visitorship, F1, and the perception of Vegas as a value?

Scott Roeben, purveyor of @VitalVegas and VitalVegas.com, joined me for an update on Vegas. We talked about who’s coming to Vegas and why, sexual harassment culture in casinos, and more!

Book Scott mentioned: “Addiction by Design” https://www.amazon.com/Addiction-Design-Machine-Gambling-Vegas/dp/0691160880

Scott posted this list in 2018, and it still holds true. These changes would go a long way to making things better:

“MAKE LAS VEGAS A VALUE AGAIN”

*We’ve heard you and we want you back.

*We’re done sacrificing your long-term goodwill for our short-term gain, and we’re ready to make dramatic changes to prove we deserve you, your time and your business.

*Here’s how we’ll do it, starting today. Because with each passing day people just like you are deciding not to visit as often, or at all. Enough is enough.

*First, we’ll roll back parking fees. We screwed the pooch on that, and we apologize.

We’re also doing away with resort fees. Your room rate will go up a bit, but we’re done playing that game and Vegas room prices will continue to be some of the best values anywhere.

*Our pledge is simple: No more convenience fees, processing fees, CNF charges, venue fees and tap water fees. No, really, that was a thing. Sorry.

*In our casinos, we’re done changing the rules to squeeze every last penny out of you.

We’re doing away with 6-to-5 blackjack and triple zero roulette, for starters. We’re doing it whether or not you know why those things are bad for players, because Vegas needs to get back to being Vegas.

*Oh, and this straw ban is horseshit. We’ll find better ways to help the environment than annoying every customer who orders a cocktail.

*These are just a few of the things we’re changing to win you over all over again.

What happens in Vegas has never stayed in Vegas, and when you talk about us, we want you to say nice things.

*We’re not claiming Las Vegas will be cheap. It costs money to build shiny new things.

But we’re committed to providing value.

*Every day, we’re going to treat you like a person, not a number. We want you back.

We promise to listen more, nickel-and-dime less, and we’re fully prepared to ride the asses of those who don’t get why these changes are vital to making Las Vegas great, and a great value, again.

The post #423 What’s happening to Vegas?? Guest: Scott Roeben, “Vital Vegas” appeared first on Heidi Harris Show.

Why do some “men” marry the kind of women Dr. Laura has described as “hit women”? These wives put a wedge between the son and his family, even when it’s not warranted. We see it in famous families, and not-so-famous families. It’s one thing to prioritize your wife, which you should, but when she is the source of the conflict, and he chose to marry her anyway, it’s often because the “man” has not made a healthy separation from his family, so he considers kowtowing to her and “no contact” as the only solution. Often there’s a better way….

The “Campus for Hope”, a proposed 900 bed homeless shelter, is a disaster for an established Las Vegas neighborhood and the schools and businesses that surround it, not to mention the quality of life and the hit property values will undoubtedly take. Community activist Lisa Mayo-DeReriso joined me to discuss what THEY (the politicians) are trying to do and what YOU can do to stop it.

Gallup recently conducted a poll on trust in media, and trust is at a 50 year low. Those results are positive in my opinion. Apparently, some people are starting to wake up to the reality that those we’re supposed to trust to bring us “news” cannot, in fact, be trusted. If one bit of good came out of the Covid pandemic, it might be that people have finally realized that our government officials lie, and worse, that so-called “journalists” go along with it.

Guy Nohra is the embodiment of the American dream. As a teenager, he fought in the Civil War in Lebanon. His parents extracted him from America when they found out what he was doing, and he became an American citizen. He also became a successful venture capitalist, helping startups that have made huge progress in the healthcare world.  

Lately he’s been talking about how he sees the signs of simmering Civil War in some of the rhetoric and behavior in America. He joined me to talk about what he’s seeing and what he saw in Lebanon in the 70s, and how similar some of the rhetoric is. I’d love to hear your thoughts on what he had to say.

What do you know about the Convention Of States? You may have heard about it, but what do you know about it? Who supports it, why is it important, and how could it benefit America? I didn’t really know myself, so I asked Mark Meckler, the president of Convention of States action to join me.

Freya India is a wonderful writer out of the UK. I believe she’s probably in her 30’s based on the issues she writes about so beautifully. Recently, I came across an especially powerful column of hers called “The Age of Abandonment”. She describes with incredible insight the feeling a lot of people of her generation have toward marriage. It’s not marriage they’re afraid of, it’s abandonment. They’ve never actually seen a successful marriage so they’re afraid to even give it a try. They’re afraid to criticize their parents so they criticize the institution of marriage. Very powerful. Worth reading. Please pass this along to anybody you think might benefit from it.

It’s come to light that Elon Musk has now produced a 13th child, with the fourth or fifth woman. She apparently is only coming forward because somebody in the media found out about it and was going to reveal it. The sad thing is it most conservatives don’t have a problem with this. A lot of liberals are trolling conservatives and making fun of this situation, asking, “Where are your family values?” and they’re exactly right.

Here’ why it’s my business: When you have people producing children with multiple partners all over the place, they’re clearly not going to be as sympathetic to family policies as they should be. Strong families make a strong nation. Strong families aren’t “whoever you wanna have a baby with this week” and “whatever ZIP code you live in this year”, and kids need more than a nice crib. Regardless of how much money you have, you’re never gonna make up for the fact that children are being raised in unstable situations. That’s bad for our nation. That’s bad for our WORLD.

I’ve noticed a lot of gnashing of teeth among people who are being purged as a result of what Elon Musk is doing with DOGE. I’m used to the private sector, where the boss can have a bad day and you’re out the door. No one should have a job they can’t lose, especially an inefficient government worker, and if you happen to be a government worker who is efficient, you should be happy that so many people are losing their jobs. The cream will ultimately rise to the top, right?
