Why would I want to visit any city in that fascist shit hole when there is an entire world of free countries to visit.

Too bad MAGAts have chased away people from entering this country.
I’ll stay in my genetically diverse country of Canada and if I feel like it, I’ll visit any one of the many casinos we have here and keep my money in the greatest nation on earth.
I like people of colour, ethnic origins and choice of religion or lack there of, and honestly, I enjoy feeling safe amongst my brethren and not worrying if myself or my neighbour will be pulled out of their bed because they were born the wrong skin tone or race and sent off to a desolate jail in another country not of their own.
America the fascist can rot and I’m enjoying watching it start to implode.
I feel sorry for the good Americans caught up in this, but you have a line item in your constitution to fight this sort of thing. It’s up to you all to choose what you do with that.
I’m enjoying watching it start to implode.
You shouldn't. Its implosion will have a negative impact all over the world. Far-right extremists are gaining power everywhere, including in Canada.
I'm Canadian, and this year I went to Florida to fulfill a life-long (I'll be 60 next year) dream to visit the Kennedy Space Center. One thing I noticed, beyond getting "randomly secondarily" screened at EVERY security checkpoint, was that there were no wait lines for anything anywhere.
No lines at NASA, no lines at restaurants, no lines at Orlando attractions. At least nothing more than a couple of minutes, at most. Even the beaches were mostly empty...
Good keep it up.
you guys are having a nation-wide hunt for people who aren't mourning a neo-nazi supporting piece of shit the way you want them to, and trying to ruin their lives.
I'm gonna stay away, thanks. finish taking out the trash first
Well, what did you expect people to do when your president started questioning Canada's sovereignty? To roll over and keep giving you money?! Get rid of the infestation of fascists all over the place, burn it all down, and then, maybe then people might think about returning to the USA.
But I do find it funny that in Youtube comments on channels like Guard The Leaf or "Not Leaving Las Vegas" there were idiots claiming that Vegas doesn't run on income from foreign visitors, that it mostly runs on domestic tourism, despite showing them actual numbers from the Las Vegas airport.
Flush the orange turd and any wipe way any remaining shit spackles, then we'll discuss holiday plans.
Sincerely, the same half of the UK.
Hey, try this instead:
"We have an armed response force ready to protect you against ICE if they come to try to snatch you. We have lawyers at the ready, and we're fine mobilizing the state's National Guard if it comes to that. If you're in another part of the country and worried about your safety, come to Vegas! You can do some gambling and see the sights without worrying if you're going to make it home to your family or not."
Guaranteed spike in tourism. Don't just ask for what you want. Earn it.
"Gamble with your money, not with your freedom!"
If the strip is so desperate for business, then where are the $35/night rooms?
Was going to go with the girlfriend last month, but after seeing the room prices, we decided to save a ton of money and go to San Diego instead.
If you want people to go to the strip again, bring back the deals you used to run all the time before COVID. Otherwise I don't believe you when you say you're desperate for tourists.

This video answers the "why" perfectly.
tl;dw: everything more expensive, bullshit fees, less quality
Also, in my personal opinion, the current political climate doesn't help to draw in international tourists.
Me I will never come to the states ever again in my life. The states are now a fascist country.
We don’t love you, we don’t need anything from you. Go kiss your fascist child rapists ring, you got what you voted for.
Piss off.
Just hold on a bit longer. Trump is desperately trying to turn his shit deals into art.
From what I've been reading here, sounds a lot that they activelly brought in multiple leopards: an anti-foreigner out of control Fascist regime and very high prices.
That's like commiting suicide with both barrels of a two barrel shotgun.
How much of it is Canadians staying away because of fascism, or how much of it is staying away because Vegas is too goddamn expensive?
I do feel sorry for individual Americans who will lose their jobs, maybe their homes, maybe more. However, we saw what Russia has done to the Ukraine and we have to be just as wary about our Southern neighbour. We've always known that America is a good-weather friend and we can't count on them, even if they have always been able to count on us, but with Trump we have to believe that America would go even further and try to destroy us. We can't sit back and take that. Until Trump and his acolytes are out of power in the US - and that may never happen - we have to Stand On Guard for Thee (Canada). That means as little US vacation and as limited buying of US merchandise as we can individually manage.
This will drag down the entire state of Nevada.
fuck her and her shitty city
The city and casinos sold their soul for profits and the country turned evil. Get fucked Vegas.
Taking a step away from the reasons this is happening, perhaps it's not a good idea to have a place that's so dependent on tourism money. Cities should be city first, travel destination second.
Las Vegas isn't and never was a proper city. It's just a giant sprawling suburb propping up a thin line of decaying skyscrapers in the desert.
She's Democrat, so not really LAMF. I feel sorry for relatively sane people getting caught up in all this. Fuck the whole MAGA madhouse with a rusty spade.
That said, I just don't see what she thought she could have achieved with that. Maybe its target audience was her own consituency more than actual Canadians.
Noviello's death marks the eighth known immigrant detainee deaths this year.

There's a non-zero chance the American government will find you and kill you.
I’m born and raised in Nevada north eastern Nevada to be exact and seeing this state and Vegas solely descend into the cesspit that it has created I couldn’t be happier. It does suck for the workers in the hotels and the people that drive taxis and work in food services throughout state they are going to be the first ones to suffer from this.
And now Vegas is suffering from the actions of outside groups. A truly independent Vegas is the only good ending.
Didn't they vote for trump?
