That doesn't make any sense. If you were already buzzed before going, then you would need a cheaper price to continue drinking, since you already have some in you. If you were dead sober and wanted to drink, then it makes sense to shell out the money.
- sfitz 3y agoIf you were already buzzed before going, you're probably not making super sound financial decisions inside.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoIt's Vegas, people don't go there to make sound financial decisions :P Possible counter-strategy is that the prices are high so people stay relatively tame inside. Who wants to pay ($20/unit of alcohol) to even try to get drunk?
- ryandrake 3y agoYea anyone who's visited Vegas knows that from the time your plane lands to when you takeoff, you're basically just spewing money to everyone constantly. I think there are at least 5-10 people just between your airline gate and your hotel room door with their hands out looking for tips. Not a place to go if you're frugal.
- andy800 3y agoFunny that this is the general perception of Las Vegas after 50 years of marketing itself as a budget destination
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoMy boss came back from a vendor conference in Vegas recently and went to the sphere. He said in the 90s you could go and find a cheap all you can eat buffet full of steak and it was like $10 to get in. Drinks were $2 or something like that. But now you can expect to spend $40-$50 per meal for a single person.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agoEvery place is expensive if you go for a few days as a tourist. SF is definitely more expensive. I lived in Vegas as a regular dweller, near the Mantis in downtown, for a few months, nothing particularly expensive there. To the contrary, you get free live concerts every day and basically free marijuana - just inhale the air around you!
