by replacing places like Barbary Coast with modernized/expensive/cookie cutter places like The Cromwell. Everything has a ridiculous resort fee and there are no more $5 craps tables where people just party and have a good time. It's all 25 and up.

And I can sports bet from my phone or drive 45 minutes and do it in person.

Vegas was at its best when the mob was in charge. Now it just feels cookie cutter and over commercialized.
