That would be a major benefit. The monorail isn’t really efficient.
Lower prices of food and entertainment to normal prices at least. Or better yet. Go back to the almost free model that encouraged people to come and then gamble. You still make money on the gambling hand over foot.
I hardly gamble when I’m there because what money I would have to gamble is instead being spent on the astronomical food. Even what is normal fast food is literally double the price just because it’s location.
Get rid of the ridiculous resort fees that just hide the real price of the hotel room. This surcharge on every night for “pool and wifi” is just fucking stupid. We know that’s what our regular room rates include.
Just stop being generally hostile to the people visiting.
I was in Vegas for a week back in March, I walked about 35 miles the whole time. I think about half of it in one day that I had entirely to myself. It was way more enjoyable than spending time time in the car, basically the longest bar crawl I’ve ever been on lol
I tried not to cross the strip (on the street) too much, but it wasn’t impossible. The pedestrian bridges were great.
I’m sure my experience is far from the average though.
Yep, your temple to greed corruption and organized crime needs expanded public transit, that will fix everything
Corporate America EEE’d Las Vegas. Give it back to the Mafia.
Vegas is in decline not because of lack of pedestrian capability, is just kind of pointless.
Gambling? Well you can gamble much closer to home.
Shows? It’s kind of arbitrary that Vegas was the hotspot, but the residencies are pretty much the same ones they had twenty years ago, and everything else you can find essentially the same show on tour.
Accommodations once luxurious haven’t really kept up, again mostly monuments for how they were two decades ago. Preserving some of the ambition of back then but tossing a lot of it toward the end of saving money, and not really investing in keeping things as nice as you’d expect.
So what you have is the hubris of “look how far we pushed a city on the middle of the desert”.
Las Vegas was and still is a mistake that prides itself in ignoring the reality of the landscape around it, what city could embody the US better?
It’s to big of an area.
