Four years have passed since MGM Resorts held the Dam - just barely - against Caesars Entertainment onslaught.

The Legion did not retreat.

Across the river, it gathers strength. Campfires burned, training drums beat.

Through it all, the Vegas Strip has stayed open for business under the control of its mysterious overseer, Mr. House.

And his army of rehabilitated Tribals and police robots.

You are a courier, hired by the Mojave Express, to deliver a package to the Vegas Strip.

What seemed like a simple delivery job has taken a turn ...for the worse.

Land is the most precious commodity, it literally underpins and makes possible all other worthwhile products, services and investments. There's nothing more lucrative than desirable urban land parcels, that's why most urban properties in big cities will never be listed on public stock markets for the "regular Joe" to invest in. The profits and ROI are something above and beyond anything you or I can ever reach with our boring stock and bond portfolios. Even most REITS on the markets are bad imitations, usually just suburban mall operating companies (malls are kinda a bad investment when you buy your stuff on Amazon).

Henry George famously wrote about the "evil" of allowing land to be a commercialized property, not in the communist sense but in the "we didn't make the land, none of use should get rich just from lucking out or taking possession of land that just so happens to be better than other pieces of land".

More people need to get on board with the idea of abandoning taxes on earned income and sales, and putting high taxes on the value of land since land value inequality is the #1 driver of socioeconomic inequality in the world.

This is literally a Monopoly game in real-life. Another thing, these resorts are in Paradise, a town created in 1950 so that the resorts WOULDN'T pay taxes to the city of Las Vegas. Vegas tried to absorb the strip that year, and then the state government itself tried absorbing the strip for Vegas in 1975 and also failed.

Something else to note: When Treasure Island opened, it became the first Las Vegas resort to house a Cirque du Soleil show, called Mystère. Thus, this changed Vegas entertainment forever as more Cirque du Soleil resident shows dominated. O would later join at the Bellagio in 1998 with the feat of being Cirque's first aquatic show, then Zumanity at the New York-New York in 2003 (since retired in 2020 and replaced with the show Mad Apple), Kà at MGM Grand in 2004, The Beatles Love at The Mirage in 2006, Criss Angel Believe at Luxor in 2008 (retired in 2016), Viva Elvis at Aria in 2009 (retired in 2012 and replaced with Zarkana which retired in 2016), and Michael Jackson: One at Mandalay Bay in 2013.

The 40s would be a better starting decade - some of the casinos on the Strip and downtown have that old of roots. El Cortez, 1941. Golden Nugget, 1946. Flamingo in 1946, too, and as the narrator said, its the oldest operating one on LV Blvd. Binion's Horseshoe on Fremont Street, 1951, before it became just Binion's and Horseshoe was bought by Caesers. To better understand the Strip, its best to know why and how it started, which begins with the downtown area.

I do agree heavily that Vegas is like GTA. It really feels like it having lived here for years. People drive fancy cars with total disregard for traffic laws, there's crazy guns and many people are armed, there's constantly helicopters including police copters flying around, an airforce base nearby so sometimes you see jets in the sky, and the whole culture is over the top. Even our billboards are completely ridiculous, crazier than anything I saw growing up 18 years in the Midwest.

I once saw a digital billboard go from an ad for beer, to an ad for guns, to an ad for a Marijuana dispensary. Doing all those together is a felony but on a billboard in vegas? A typical Tuesday 😅

To be fair, it’s really not like that. Anywhere in the West Coast for the most part besides, California is going to be better with gun laws rhyme from Arizona. We even have better gun laws, the Nevada.

The history of Las Vegas is fascinating. I've been there maybe a dozen times, a few times for pleasure and the rest for work. To think that the old popular part of Vegas was it's downtown by the 1970's or 1980's, the strip became the hot spot while downtown began to die out. The strip even pivoted in the 90's to family friendly only to drop that a few short years later.

When I first went to Vegas around 2005, downtown (Freemont Street) was dead and old. Looks nothing like today -- it was mostly seniors and locals. By around 2010 when I next went to Freemont, I saw some changes happening with new hotels plus the light show. It still didn't draw huge crowds like today but on my next trip to Freemont around 2015ish, it was a hot spot. Numerous improvements and modifications. It looked nothing like a decade before. Today, Freemont St is a must stop even for one day if you're visiting the strip. The light show is a great fun experience, there are at least 3 stages playing live music and sometimes even famous acts. I saw Shaggy perform for an hour for free with thousands of people watching.

Step away from downtown or the strip, and you have some areas serving great food. To the west of the strip is a huge area of great Asian food -- Chinese, Japanese and Korean. There are also great Mexican restaurants throughout the city. And from Vegas you can go to the lowest spot in the Americas which is the hottest place in the world -- Death Valley. Hoover Dam is a very popular half day trip for tourists and it's a must do. Or hit the mountains nearby, especially the beatiful Valley of Fire park.

I’m actually planning to go to Las Vegas for the first time this year (if I get the approved time off first. If not this year, definitely next year). But on both trips (and future trips), there will be at least one day spent in the Fremont Street area. Because of all the research that I did, Fremont Street is just like the main Strip; there’s so much to do and see that you can’t do everything in one vacation.

I’d say the strip is pretty family friendly.

@Slipknot Ghidorah Freemont is much smaller. You could see everything in one day though coming back twice in the evening is nice. During the day, it doesn't compare to the stirp but at night, it's a mini version of the strip.

HomerOJSimpson

@Corey Garrett Since I've been to Vegas so many times (12 times), I know spend at least one full day sometimes two in Freemont. I'm bored of the strip and it's over prices so unless my company is paying for it while there for business, i'm going to spend some time in downtown.

The Mirage acquisition from MGM by Hard Rock International was finalized in 2022; HRI now has a long-term lease with Vici. The property is in renovation and will be renamed Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas.
What wasn't mentioned was that Steve Wynn sold his Wynn Resorts company to MGM back in 2000. That's how MGM acquired the Mirage, Monte Carlo, Treasure Island, Bellagio, and Mandalay Bay.
Good video overall (though the pronunciation of Bally's and Mirage was odd).

There's also Las Vegas Sands who owned the Venetian and Palazzo before selling them to Vici in 2021 to focus on Macau. As successful as Vegas is, it's still nothing compared to its Asian rival Macau who is one of the richest territories/countries in the world. Las Vegas Sands replicated the Strip by using landfill to combine Coloane and Taipa, and built a way bigger Venetian there, as well as The Londoner and The Parisian. Other chains like Wynn and even MGM have opened resorts there. This creation of the Cotai Strip has boosted Macau's economy. Gambling being banned in Mainland China also plays a role.

I was born and raised in that city for the first 26 years of my life, and have only last year moved away. My mom was an accountant there for over 30 years. My aunt and uncle and all of them still live there, my grandma lived there, my aunt's son's family, my little sister...several other adults moved on from childhood there. I cannot begin to describe the amount of bad influence that city has on people. Pretty much all of my close friends growing up(whose parents werent smart enough to move away when they could) have at least tried meth at some point. The school systems are constantly ranked horribly low and underfunded(even moreso than some states with major cities, and most states in general). Being a desert valley with lights and infrastructure pumped into it, it's literally a giant undying shithole whose only redeeming quality was decent work and cheap housing, but now it doesn't even have that. Before I moved away, 1200 people a DAY were moving in from LA and Chicago ALONE. Its also around the time they were building the raider's stadium, and the real estate market started foaming at the mouth. Section by section everyone's rent literally doubled. If you didnt buy a home within the last 20 years suddenly youre one of the fucked.

I live in Vegas, and it is interesting how interconnected so many of the casinos are, some even have trams connecting one another. Personally, if you want to stay at any specific resort/hotel/casino depending on your budget, caesar's palace and the venetian I believe are going to give you a pretty good bang for your buck. Nice rooms, facilities, casino floor, and shopping area, and hey, marble nude statues in caesars too. If you want to go expensive, Bellagio, Wynn, The Cosmopolitan now and the new Resorts World are fairly luxurious. Especially the two other hotels inside Resorts World and their separate casinos (its weird). Budget, Treasure Island, Mandalay Bay, and Planet Hollywood are fine. Planet Hollywood's miracle mile is kinda fun. I wouldn't want to stay downtown unless maybe you are staying at the Circa. Maybe you may want to visit it if you go to the strip, but it is a bit of a drive from downtown to the strip, but the small restaurants, container park, and the general area can be fun, particularly with friends. No gambling advice, I mean, slot machines are a waste of time, roulette is fun with people at the table, same with blackjack and especially craps. Poker can be stressful for some but can be fun for others. Budget yourself though, because every single thing at the strip is very expensive, even bottled water or a protein bar.

Venetian is a little closer to the more luxury hotels and I definitely wouldn't put Mandalay in the budget category. Mandalay, MGM and Caesars are all the standard level hotels. Budget picks would be NYNY, Excalibur, Luxor, TI, PH. Park is somewhere between those two levels.

Back in the late 1980's through the 1990's I would go to Vegas 2, 3, and sometimes 4 times a year because the airfare from Maryland where I lived was in the range of about $200 to $250 per person round trip. And I joined all of the player's clubs so got really cheap room rates even though I was never a big gambler. While I never knew about all of the acquisitions and moves going on in the background, what I did notice was the strip was getting much too crowded. All of those new hotels with cheap room rates brought in a lot of people. And I also noticed that the slots got a lot tighter than they once were. I liked it much better when the "mob" ran the strip because they didn't care if you won $500 or $1,000 because they were still making money off the gambling. Its been about 5 years since I have been to Vegas now mainly because it way too crowded, you can't win any money (even small wins like $500 or so became rare), there are too many peddlers on the strip outside the hotels, people in costumes hawking photos, people selling water, and people selling time shares. And besides that the buffet prices, which at one time was a BIG draw for many, have now skyrocketed. I am so glad that I enjoyed the place before all of these changes.

Jupe367

Same. I visited Las Vegas several times between 1990s -2000 and the strip was nice then. Buffett was affordable but the show was a bit pricey for me. Luckily, it was a gift at the time and I was able to see cirque du solliel. [ the very first show]. It has been a while since I’ve been back and I’m sure with inflations, buffet price may be in the 100s and hotel rates must be ridiculously high. Perhaps one day I will consider revisiting.

I live in Vegas and the battle of the Strip is real- the battle of Las Vegas is intense when it comes to your entertainment dollar. When you look into who owns who and who leases what, its really eye opening and this is just the Strip. We haven't even started with Strip corridors, Downtown, and local casinos that add names like Red Rock Resorts/Stations Casinos, Boyd Gaming, even Indian/Native American casino operators Mohegan Sun (Virgin Hotel), San Manuel (Palms Resort), and the Seminoles (The Mirage soon to be Hard Rock).

The need to get things done means leveraging isn’t a problem. Debt is tradable like stocks. Doubtful any of the participants in the initial bond issue still held at the time of the bankruptcy- normally the lender would exit to fund the next construction.

Same with stocks where families of founder investors rarely still retain majority control. Marcus Samual created Shell Oil. Today his descendants own negligible stock and history has forgotten him, unlike Rockefeller and Getty which are remembered and synonymous with wealth.

This was interesting… I’ve spent a lot of time in Vegas and have stayed at several of the hotels on the strip and never knew any of this, but I am not surprised by it at all. Great video!

I would say that I desperately hope that Wynn doesn't get sold, but since Steve Wynn was forced out the company is already turning into a soulless corporate entity devoid of any new ideas, so it doesn't really matter.

This is an excellent video. It would be interesting to see how the mob has been involved in the development. I know there's many videos out there but the way you break it down is the best.

"While mom and dad gamble upstairs, the kids go downstairs to the arcade" responsible parenting right there

You have to realize that Excalibur was following the business model of the original Circus Circus, which was built in the 60s. During that time and up to the 90s, latchkey kids were a common thing. You let your kids loose to go play throughout the day and just told them when to be home for dinner. It was a real thing because it was actually safe back then. It made kids stronger rather than weaker and taught them responsibility.

My Dad would always hand us cash and we'd spend hours playing games while he gambled. It was a blast.

MGM Grand was already there but was damaged by a fire. It moved down The strip from it's original location. I love the clips of Old Las Vegas!!

It is situations like this that make you wonder what the gaming commission is thinking. They are supposed to prevent this sort of things from happening in addition to keeping the Mob out of the business. We have 2 companies and as they have gotten bigger, the work has gotten worse. Las Vegas went Corporate in the 90's instead of just being in the casino business...

Steve Wynn is the GOAT of casino design. That's why MGM casinos are superior to Caesars. And the Wynn is the classiest casino in Vegas.

Most of the newer hotels are the classier ones, honestly wouldn't stay in half the hotels mentioned here, like Paris, Excalibur or the Luxor... yuck.

(Early in view.)

I remember as a kid, long before MGM bought the south end (and they had an amusement park that's now a parking garage), Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay (as per the example) were connected, but each one had a distinct feel, making it obvious when you shifted from one to the other. And as for interior walkways, the summer heat is cancer there.

Also, who remembers that arcade at Excalibur and the dragon shows?

I like the fact that I could get points from any of these locations to one account and also get comped rooms from many of the hotels, even though I played at only one place, makes it easier to go to Vegas...
BUT I dont like how the casinos are all starting to look almost exactly alike. I remember even about 10+ years ago all the casinos had different themes and looked different and had different feels...
BUT today, almost all of them converted to that modern style of a lot of glass and chrome and modern art type designs all around which was started by like Cosmopolitan and even before by like Palms hotel, to get that younger crowd in....
BUT NOW ALL HOTELS have copied that including Station hotels and they are all started to look similar... And Im already over it. Im ready for the themes to start coming back... More themes the better IMO... LOL!

Video kind of glossed over the real estate/financial crisis in 2007-08 and the massive effect it had on the strip, well beyond just the impact it had on Caesars.

It's a lot more interesting than this though - the MGM/Mirage takeover was originated by Steve Wynn's refusal to let MGM bigwig friends to play Shadow Creek. There were only 2 rules, a guest of one of Steve's properties, and it was 500 bucks...he refused to cave on either. MGM guy was so pissed he did a monster raise to buy Steve out.

The first time I went to Vegas was with my family when I was in middle school and we stayed at Imperial Palace. Fast forward to high school, I went with friends for the second time looking for the same hotel and they changed it to The Quad. And now it’s The Linq. I’ve stayed there every time, mostly for Hash House but then they moved it to The Rio and I was pissed!! But seriously, what’s up with the name change lolll
