I puked in the ashtray in a hallway there once.
So many memories.
It does feel kinda weird when one of those old casinos actually closes.
But when I was visiting my brother last, he said one cool thing he likes about Vegas is that it’s always new. Whereas places like New York, Chicago, St. Louis are old cities with a lot of old architecture, which can be beautiful, Las Vegas is like constantly changing it up so there’s almost always something new.
Enshittification comes for Vegas. The money will still flow, you’ll just get less actual entertainment for it.
How rapidly that word has become meaningless. It just means “I want to bitch about something” now.
So, like, the word has suffered from enshittification?
No. Enshittification specifically refers to a business slowly squeezing everything out of its monopoly position and making life worse for everyone involved.
This here is just a failing business scaling (or shutting) down. Nothing more.
At least Terry Benedict still has two other casinos.
"If you guys are going after Terry Benedict, you better goddamn know…"
I love that first one. The sequels are good too, but that first one is the best.
Is closing to be replaced by something more gaudy.
