That being said only the strip has really gotten expensive. Fremont is still reasonable compared to the strip but it is also getting expensive as they try to improve the experience. Local Vegas still has lots of good deals and cheap restaurants but that requires being off the strip in places like Summerlin or whatever south Vegas is called.

Yeah, but those places have a tendency to come with some consequences of their own...

I’ve been there five times now and will never go back.

I've been numerous times, like I said, I always liked it, but it seems to have lost some of it's luster. I'll 'never say never' but it'd take something significant to get me back.
