Quoted from jhanley:

I grew up in Las Vegas so I might have a different perspective but that place has turned into the ultimate place to suck every last penny from you in every way.About 3 years ago we went there and if you were gambling they would give you a free drink at most strip hotels.A couple of days ago me and my wife go to the Excalibur.We both put $20 dollars in the poker machines at this really dirty bar expecting to get a beer and a mixed drink.The bartender gives me a beer and tells us we have to pay $14 bucks for the gin and tonic. I pay $455 dollars to stay 2 nights at Caesars Palace as we were seeing Rod Stewart which costs $229 a ticket plus other bullshit fees and then see a $26 dollar online charge added extra.Before the concert we decided to sit at the bar at Caesars and play some poker and have a drink.We both put $20 dollars in and are playing when the bartender there says we have to bet a dollar a hand to get a free drink.We bought our own drinks at the tune of $22 bucks for a beer and a mixed drink.We finished playing and still had half of our drinks but had to get to the restaurant at Caesars.We get ready to go in and the Hostess tells us we have to FINISH our drinks before we get a table.We ask why.She says that the restaurant is separate from Caesars and that is their policy.Then when we check out they try to charge us for the mini bar in our room which already had things took out of it when we got the room which I called them about when we arrived plus $15 charge for WiFi we didn't use.We ate breakfast and it was $120 for four of us for F&*king simple breakfast.The first day we got 4 donuts and 4 coffees and it was 60 bucks.WTF has happened to that place where you could go anywhere and get a $2.99 breakfast at any casino.They charge you up the ass for everything.3 years ago I could valet park and give the valet a tip after picking up my car.Now at Caesars it costs $14 dollars up front to do the same.I was born there but I'm never going back.The original Vegas that I grew up in the 60's and 70's is dead.
