Spent a M-F stay at FB. It’s a very nice property, cavernous actually. Pools are among the very best in Vegas. Service was quite good. Exercise facility the best I’ve encountered. Gaming had the essentials, but I agree the energy wasn’t there. Complaints about parking fees can be said about every large casino. Same about resort fee. I’ve stayed in the Wynn Tower Suites many many a time. I prefer the FB as a hotel – they just need to mature, get some award winning dining options, increase retail occupancy, etc.

These “smart” business people are the same ones that ranout of money in 2007 and had to stop construction. They already demonstrated they aren’t financially smart

He’s obviously a big Taylor Swift fan (like me), so he opened it on her birthday !

The imposition of parking fees is a glaring example of this shift in attitude. It’s as if these hotels no longer value the business of locals. My friends, who have been visiting six times a year for the past 20 years, used to dine at hotel restaurants twice a day, from Friday through Sunday. However, with the advent of parking fees, we’ve opted to pick them up and dine off the Strip. The loss of such frequent and consistent patronage should be a wake-up call for these hotels.

During the post-COVID period, these hotels were desperate for any visitors, rolling out the red carpet for everyone. Now, they have become increasingly selective, clearly prioritizing profit over genuine hospitality. This change in attitude is not only short-sighted but also disrespectful to the loyal customers who helped sustain them during difficult times.

We have made the decision to never spend another dime on the Strip again. If these hotels continue to treat locals and long-time visitors with such blatant disregard, they should be prepared to face the consequences of losing dedicated customers. Greed and arrogance will only drive more people away, and eventually, these hotels will realize that catering exclusively to the ultra-wealthy is not a sustainable business model.

In summary, Las Vegas Strip hotels have traded their hospitality for greed, and in doing so, they’ve lost our business forever. I urge anyone considering a visit to think twice and seek alternatives that value and respect their patrons.

But I do have a question. In 2025, when the financial defecation hits the rotary oscillator, once the dust settles do you envision the FB name surviving or will a new majority owner implement a name-change and re-branding?
