Its sad its changed so much, to bad they ever kicked the mob out.Its all about money now, The dealer's are no longer friendly, tne machines are set up to take your moneyas fast as youcan put it in. It takes an act of god to get comped anything,and its even harder to get a drink even if your gambling.You used to be able to get a great meal for a buck not anymore. Im glad I quit going here. The film was nice to watch,I remamber my great uncle lived on the strip in an airstreem trailer when I was a kid he went their to work on the dam he was a dynamiter and stayed there when it was done, glad he was dead before all the changes.

Old Vega was just perfect. Should never have changed. When you went to a Casino you were treated like an important person, they got to know you, treated you well and waited untilyou came back again. Now it's just commercial, nothing very personal, much too child friendly - not a place to take children, but its done all the time.
I personally loved Old Vegas, dressing like a lady, having your man wear a suit and tie, you looked great, felt great and had truly a wonderful time. Food was cheap, babysitters or nanny's were available for the kids at night - just pefect.
Was in Vegas this past June, will not go back again -it's just so overcrowded and everything is extremely expensive. We used to head there 3/4 times a year, now I never think about heading there at all.
