On the a traveling fans of Vegas group, people are trying to go, after they return, most didn't have a joyful experience. Like many in California who visit Vegas often, there doesn't seem to be any incentive. "2 free nights Tuesday-Thursday" is the same it was always. Casino's can make a lot of $ per square foot but haven't seen any establishment invest in 10 tables or 20 slots with super clean and fun entertainment. Throw in curly fries, hotdogs, soda (all so cheap while average lost is $200) for an area of 5'x5'. Itching to go but more risk (covid & risk of not having fun) . A big animal convention was cancelled 40 days before it was to happen at Mandalay Bay. The pet organizers made an last ditch effort to put $20 towards the $80 room charge.....WTF did Mandalay put in? They needed to discount that thing big time 2 months out but casino didn't. Casino would rather lose 100% instead of 60%.
Now back to real estate: with high dependency on tourism, crisis and no creative ways to draw crowds. The employed in that town are doomed and many are now. I think it's too soon to see real estate fluctuate but there is no denying the charts and graphs: things remain steady and active. I speculate real estate will follow the biggest player: casinos that are acting bad.
