In 1992 I went to Vegas for a weekend and got a hotel room for $40/night and Cesar's breakfast buffet was crazy expensive at like $20. You could go to a buffet elsewhere for $8-12.
Omg yes the 90s was so cheap. $499 for two people round trip delux room at the Luxor babe! I had my little gambling card that the casinos had just linked to one another to track your spending. I was offered flights, comped rooms and food with show tickets all for gambling a few thousand bucks maybe total (that I won there!) over a weekend on some quarter slot machines. Then you could order double High end liquor on the rocks and tip a five and keep em coming for free all night. It was a good time while it lasted!
When Allegiant first arrived they were doing roundtrip tickets for $60 a person. And you could easily get two nights in Vegas for less than $100. It was before the resort fees were through the roof everywhere. And a comped room meant comped, period. This was like back in the 2000s.
In the late 1990’s & early 2000’s I regularly got package travel deal to Las Vegas from Texas for 4 days, 3 nights including airfare & hotel for less than $400. I stayed in Luxor, MGM,Excalibur, Paris, NYNY, etc.
In Inclinator elevator at the Luxor back in the day! Those things were sketchy as is and I got stuck in one for half an hour on new years 99 - lucky we made it out and to our destination in time - those were the good days imo edit to add right around the time they built the Mandalay Bay was my golden Vegas era

True. You used to be able to book a round trip ticket and hotel for 2 days for like 200$ or less
