I don't like the noise, the smoke, and I also want a coffee maker in my room.

But it's sunny and warm in Vegas in April when it's still cold and snowy at home. That makes up for a lot!

"Why do you waste your feelings on hating something that millions enjoy? Is this because you think this city deserves your attention?"

No but I like answering non earth shattering questions on the internet.

I hate all that wonderful food at the Bellagio and Wynn buffets. I can not eat it all....I hate that :^)

I hate that I had the opportunity to sit on the 10th row and see Cher perform...oh I soooo hated that.

I love Vegas...especially for a long weekend.

>Things I hate about Vegas
They want tips. It should be all inclusive.

I hate tourists that come to Vegas and grip the entire time they are there, and then turn around and keep coming back each year. ;)

vegasnative - good one, I was wondering that myself. I for one love it for what it is, seems some people take it far too seriously.

I hate that it is so damn expensive.

When did Vegas get so expensive? What happened to the $0.99 shrimp cocktail?

I'm not talking about gambling either.

I love Vegas!

I have fully enjoyed the defenders of vegas, and what they love, because there is as much to hate about vegas, as there is to love about vegas. I love breakfast at 4am at the Wynn Cafe!

I thought of another one.

I hate the blast furnace heat of the summer in Vegas.

I love to fly into Vegas, b/c it usually means we're going to explore Utah or Arizona.

I hate the whiney tourists.

Vegas locals unite!

Everyone else, whine all you want, just come back. :) (Just one thing... When you're walking, please don't stop in the middle of the path if I'm behind you - that's really annoying.)


Hey Marginal - I used to hate the Southwest part of the airport too, but we flew out of there in December and it's sooo nice now. There's a new security checkpoint right next to the Southwest check-in counter, so you don't walk all the way down there just to walk all the way back anymore. After security, there's people movers that get you right to the gate areas - no more trams. It was excellent!

The lack of vegetarian options...

&quot;<i>Vegas is a highly contrived marketing experiment on steroids. Every individual is viewed as a pawn for the forces of Vegas to try to manipulate.</i>&quot;

Oh, you mean like commercial TV?

Fake? What's fake? You mean that isn't the real Eiffel Tower?

I was sitting waiting for a jetBlue flight to LGB. They were boarding a flight to New York and I asked why they were flying to New York. It is right over there, see the skyline?

They don't have coffee machines in a lot of the rooms because of the requirements that they have to clean them.

Like others, love my in-suite morning coffee. Stayed at 2 high end hotels in Vegas and didn't like the wait nor cost of room service coffee for one (DH doesn't drink it) Surely rates should include cleaning/servicing.

Now know why Walgreen's on the Strip had stacks of small, inexpensive coffee makers for sale!

Giovanna Feb 7th, 2009 10:07 AM

I don't hate Vegas, but I must admit I liked it better before the &quot;bean counters and MBAs&quot; came in and redesigned it. Every hotel I fondly remember has been razed and another phony, bazillion room monstrosity replaces them. Ah the days of the Rat Pack!

trippinkpj Feb 7th, 2009 10:34 AM

I like Vegas, though I hate the smokiness in downtown/ Fremont street casinos and traffic on the strip. Oh, and ITA with you gyppielou on the lack of coffee makers in the room. I'd also like mini refrigerators there, which are hard to get in Vegas hotel rooms.

Mamaw Feb 7th, 2009 10:36 AM

When they hand you that smut on the street while your with your family. I mean really, if you have some teenagers with you (they weren't mine) don't hand them smut advertising hookers and whores.

Numbers Feb 7th, 2009 06:08 PM

There are a lot of things I hate, but nothing more than watching some poor soul crying at a gaming table after (presumably) losing way more than they could afford to lose. Very sad.

mrwunrfl Feb 8th, 2009 11:40 PM

It was a front desk person at the Rio that explained why they don't have coffee makers in all the rooms. They are required to scrub and disinfect the pot and reservoir after use. To do that they remove one to get it cleaned and replace it with a clean one. So it would be a big production to supply one to every room and would require a couple of people doing nothing all day but cleaning coffee pots and makers. So they don't put them in the lower priced rooms.

So I was told.

Why doesn't Vegas, a modern innovative city have smoking and non-smoking areas in the Casinos? Not just areas where smoke can travel but separate rooms.There are now just as many non-smokers, if not more and they should also be considered. Otherwise I love Vegas.
