When hasn’t the Strip sidewalks, traffic, and pedestrians not been a $hit show? Surprised that Vegas casinos don’t have daily odds for inoperable escalators.

Also, this is the guy complaining because he doesn’t get to take a picture in front of the Bellagio fountains on his last night this trip (as in he’s gotten this same picture a bunch of times before). Am I seriously supposed to feel bad for him that he can’t recreate the same picture instead of including the “special…

Have you stayed in Las Vegas recently? It has changed a lot over the past decade as the casinos realized they didn’t need to make things like food, drinks, and rooms cheaper to attract gamblers. This was only accelerated post-pandemic.

You don’t know much about Vegas, only what the media shows you. Many people live there because of the cost of living (no state income tax being a big benefit) and many other reasons that have zero to do with the hospitality industry.

Who the fuck can even afford to stay in a hotel for 19 days anyways?

There already is one. And the LVCC has a stop. People were pissed when it was first built that it didn’t go to the airport. That was done to appease the cab companies. It was stupid that it didn’t go to the airport then and is still stupid now since it is only on the east side of The Strip. And somehow it is still…

What if you could link several together and only need one driver?

What advantages does this present over a tram system in the tunnels?

And maybe put those cars on rails.

It isn’t 19 miles, it’s 1.7 miles. It doesn’t go to the airport, it will never go to the airport for the same reasons the monorail wasn’t allowed to connect to the airport, and that at least had some logic too it.

It’s actually a genius idea. I bet the next stage is to update the Model 3s so they can all get linked together and have a single driver in front of the chain lead the rest of them along. That will allow passengers to sit in the drivers seat of the linked car thereby increasing passenger capacity from 25 to 33%. The…

“However, if the goal is to minimize a source of dining room disruption, why not ask patrons to leave rather than waiting until the end of the meal to enact a surcharge? Why devise a punishment rather than a more immediate solution?”

If it is my private business, I get to decide what is and is not appropriate behavior inside of it. I also get to educate and delegate enforcement of company policy to my employees as I see fit and hold them responsible in appropriate ways for properly applying it.

I don’t think very many people realize the police do not exist to serve & protect citizens. They are the enforcement branch of the government and their purpose is to protect capital. The human protection only part is just there for those who are producing capital. People can chime in all they want about how it’s only…

If that is really, truly what happened, and the tox report wasn’t falsified, then yes it could happen to anyone (that’s taking a cop at his word, though, so not exactly reliable). But a police officer knows to report it right away, and notify next of kin if fatal. That did not happen, and with the mom’s story about…

Just spent a week in Vegas. Here’s my impression of what I saw:

Entire generations of workers have internalized the idea that working yourself to the bone and ruining your health and family life are the only way to be productive and successful at your job. (That was the prevailing culture at the time, so I suppose for many people, it was difficult to avoid.) But with Elon, it’s…

The whole argument about “fairness” of WFH is just a thinly veiled way to make the working class argue with itself.

Showing any political preference is completely stupid if you’re trying to sell a consumer product. There was a time I would’ve bought a Tesla, but now it feels like a car version of the red MAGA hat. 

This sounds like a person who will never be a productive member of society and is, in fact, a major threat to the safety of others. He should be locked up for life with no probation.
