In the past, I’ve enjoyed being on the Strip — it’s one of the reasons I moved to Vegas. Recently, I visited a Strip casino intending to have lunch with a friend and maybe spend an hour at the craps table. I paid $16 for a beer, $20 for a chicken sandwich and $25 for two hours of parking. After spending that much, I had little desire to spend any more at the tables. I won’t be going back soon. And we’re wondering why attendance is low?
