Basically the low end properties are closed and staying closed
I love Las Vegas ❤️🇺🇸
It's pretty slow in December/Jan anyways, so I agree with you guys. Many places will close and reopen after Feb.
been checking the package prices for jan and its not cheap.
Thank you, Mark and Shawn (glad I have the correct spelling this time) Appreciate you guys and this update. Cannot imagine the liability insurance on a roller coaster—wood construction or otherwise.
We feel for the labour pool including casino employees and hospitality (food and beverage) and housekeeping. Not like they can just pack up and relocate.
I wonder if trained animals still do their routine daily, like tigers. There should be an open show for Vegas about Vegas youtubers
Thank you, now I know the New York New York's rollercoaster is japanese 👍
love the cedar point reference
Vegas is canceled it's so damm boring and dry!!!
If New York, New York is going to refurbish anything it needs to be that hideous casino floor.
Thank goodness the Sahara is named the Sahara once again. When I was traveling, I enjoyed their breakfast buffet.
Agree. Peppermill. When you are looking for a change from casino food, Peppermill is the best choice.
I appreciate the history shout outs
That coaster sucks ! They should tear it down and redo it
Last time at Peppermill. They do have a huge breakfast, but I did see some construction guys ordering and they were splitting the breakfast. I guess they allow it there. Good idea if you don't want to leave food on your plate.
It’s all very depressing worldwide but hopefully thing will get better!! Still looking forward to coming over next September. Keep the videos coming as it cheers us up and helps in lockdown.🇬🇧 ps love the new Vegas sign & Peppermill!!
Shared on VegasOnAir . com Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks guys..👍🏻 I guess I’m going to wait till January. I had 2 free nights Mon-thurs. at Mirage but now there closed during the week. Just have to wait it out..😁
Steel Vengeance would get $50 a ride in Las Vegas. Baddest coaster ever. It's predecessor got me good a few times. Mean Streak disabled more than a few.
Excellent Excellent PodCast Happythanksgiving To you and family
Hey you two – Shawn, Mark, Another great video about the latest news in Las Vegas from A to Z : food, fun, economics, architecture, geography, entertainment – you guys got it all covered. No wonder I love your channel!!!
Well my Vegas vacay is over but I'm still savoring every moment I "spent" from the strip to the Plaza. The new arch IS fantastic but the road construction there deterred me from getting off the Deuce bus to photo and video it.
Shawn, it was really good to hear you say that New York, New York will be "repairing" the roller coaster because I've still never ridden on it but if they make it smoother I would look forward to trying it.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching your next video.
Steve
i went on the coaster in 2013 with my partner , she auffered from epilepsy, she suffered it after the ride,,,, ambulance called, hospital stay , $6500 bill and she had no insuarnce as a uk citizen,,, i left her too it ,,,silly bitch , spoiled my stay . 1 in 14 , shes long gone
Hi Shawn and Mark! Thank you for this video and the update from the Mayor. Hope you two had a great Thanksgiving! CAB 🙂
I LUV your TWA poster. Long story short it was TWA that launched me into my airline career many moons ago and coincidentally it was TWA that first took my to LAS, again LOL, many moons ago.
thanks for the excellent update , Vegas is such a vast place , its great to get an overview
Great work Shawn and Mark…
Enjoyed this chat! Thank you!
if we lose the conventions … Las Vegas will continue to decline.
The days of class and style are gone forever. Only low people and punks smoking pot everywhere. Gamblers are NOT going to make Las Vegas great again. The days of regulars to Las Vegas are done.
Please refrain from using the term “the new normal” … the majority of Americans will NOT ACCEPT this “new norm” courtesy of the desperate crooked democrat governors and mayors🤬🎰🎲💰💵
Step 1: create austere conditions that force contraction of businesses and massive layoffs
Step 2: foreclose on homes since out of work folks can’t pay their mortgages
Step 3: massive bank auctions for foreclosed properties since banks can’t afford to carry the bank notes
Step 4: carpetbaggers descend on Vegas and clean up on cheap property as second homes and don’t pour any other money into the local economy
Things looking bleak!
Mean Streak isn't gone, in was remodeled into Steel Vengeance, adding a steel track onto the wooden structure. It's pretty awesome now.
