• Las Vegas launches its inaugural city-wide sale on accommodations, dining, and entertainment options
• This initiative addresses a seven-month decline in tourism and the growing sentiment that Las Vegas casinos are overcharging returning visitors
• The quick feedback on social media indicates that many believe the sale is “too little too late”

In light of a prolonged decline in tourism, Las Vegas’ tourism board has announced its first-ever city-wide sale. However, initial reactions from social media suggest that the discounts offered may not be substantial enough.

Running from September 22-26, the Fabulous 5-Day Sale features promotions such as “up to 25% off” on Bellagio rooms with a $100 dining credit and “up to 33% off” on suites at the Venetian, accompanied by a $150 food credit when booked at Resorts World.

Additionally, Caesars Entertainment is providing discounts of up to 50% on room rates at various locations including Harrah’s Las Vegas, Flamingo Las Vegas, Planet Hollywood Resort, The LINQ Hotel + Experience, and Horseshoe Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority (LVCVA) describes this sale as an opportunity for visitors to “rediscover the excitement, energy, and remarkable value of Las Vegas.”

This initiative stems from a decline in tourism that has lasted over seven months, with visitor numbers dropping by more than 11% compared to the previous year. There’s a growing narrative that suggests Las Vegas has become unaffordable, largely due to casinos adding various fees for services like parking, resort amenities, and even early check-ins.

Is It Too Late?

Only time will reveal whether this sale can effectively reverse the downturn, which is also linked to concerns about diminishing value, declining consumer confidence, job market uncertainties, trade conflicts, and protests regarding current US policies.

For the moment, the immediate feedback on social media indicates a general disappointment with the campaign’s effectiveness. Out of 20 comments on the LVCVA’s post about the sale, a staggering 19 expressed negativity.

“This is too little too late,” commented user @Fredthehada.

“Understand the current sentiment,” advised @CasioWiser. “Many are tired of being overcharged. Discount codes don’t help when prices are already inflated.”

@SocDecay remarked, “Offering discounts after raising original prices isn’t a solution.”

“We want $0 resort fees, $0 parking charges, and $9.99 breakfast specials like the old days. Bring back 2015 Vegas,” said @LoanNinja.

“Thanks, but I’m not interested in returning to a place that feels like an ex that has mistreated me,” commented @vince415.

@midwestmagic93 simply replied, “No.”
