What happens in Vegas… isn't happening: Tourist numbers drop, casinos sit empty; internet declares Sin City 'dead, bro'

Las Vegas is facing a significant downturn in tourism, with visitor numbers plummeting by 11.3% in June compared to last year. Hotel occupancy and room rates have also declined, contributing to a "soft summer," according to Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg. Social media reflects concerns about empty casinos and rising costs, while lawsuits over bedbug infestations further tarnish the city's reputation.
