The Battle for Las Vegas

BAA-LY, not Bayley.

As a non-American, Las Vegas looks like such a surreal place. As a non-American, Las Vegas looks like such a surreal place.

Made good money owning Circus Circus stock, went up with building Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay, and The Silver Legacy in Reno in the 90’s. Help pay for most of my college life at UNLV.

Does that mean if Cesar split into to company’s Cesar and Vici properties and they own MGM land Cesar just fighting them self

this next recession will cripple the Vegas strip. The bigger they are the harder they fall

MGM sells harvest fest shooting sprees to their elite clientele.

I always thought Vici was pronounced “veesee”, not “veechi”. I guess I’m wrong.

So Mandalay Resort Group sold off to the MGM? And Caesar's Entertainment pulled away from Park Place Entertainment which owned many other Vegas properties too? It's like a shell game in Vegas.

Contwol.

Amazing video and visuals! It seems evrything is owned by the same people under different names!

"Lahs vahygahs"

Omg I love this video!! I’ve been researching about vici properties and this gave me even a bigger picture about Las Vegas strips and the competitiveness

This video is incredible… very well done

New york New york was built before 911 and they oddly didnt build the twin towers.. They must of known it was going to happen lol

This is just what you guys see on the outside. I went to Vegas for the first time ever not to long ago and it’s literally the worst place on earth. Vegas is evil and you can feel it when you’re there. One day I’m going to make a documentary exposing the dark side of the city eventually

Caesars palace was such a let down when i could finally afford to stay there.

I applaud your work :) This video is 6 months old and yet the hands in control have already evolved further. 90% of the entire Las Vegas strip is now owned by a privately held shell company. If you follow the money, which is a bit difficult (but possible), you will find that the profits are migrated overseas to the Middle East and China, but the "face" of the company are US based Linkedin puppets with nice facades. Individually investigated you can clearly draw a line with how they ended up in their respective positions and the associations with overseas investments. I wonder how upset Nevadan's (or let alone ANYONE who wastes money in LV) would be knowing that their gambling money works directly against the future of Las Vegas/Nevada and that their money moves immediately out of the US. Local media is 100% owned by the Casinos. They constantly lie year after year stating that gambling revenue will be used for schools and public (infrastructure) upgrades. This is clearly not the case as year after year Nevada has been rated one of the worst rated school systems in the US. All public facilities are dilapidated. When there is a new offering in LV, it comes in the form of extremely overpriced low quality entertainment masked by the curtain of local media. For example, a 30 min mediocre museum tour will cost the same price as a ticket to Disneyland. There is ZERO comparative value. "Everything's great folks! its all on the up and up!".... It is well known amongst the casinos that gambling revenue has declined dramatically year after year as younger generations have little to no desire to gamble, they don't want to waste hundreds on a single night in a mediocre hotel room filled with cigarette smoke to systematically gamble their money with extremely low probability of winning. it's very simple math.. and precisely why 'hands of the old guard' changed.

Vegas Local here and I myself have gotten lost between mandalay bay, Luxor, and Excalibur. No exit signs at all it’s hard to get out.

GTA San Andreas casino.

the story of greed and corruption

All that empty space dedicated to cars is such a waste of opportunity.

Fallout New Vegas irl

dont want go here you got 5 star police if you know you know

MGM Gwand and the Meewage on the Las Vegas stwip he says

Rather then owning so many different casinos maybe take care, clean, and update the already existing

Thank you for this VERY informative video! The visuals were also awesome!

Ceasars gets my vote 👍

I’m in Las Vegas a lot because of work but I always rush back home to Los Angeles because, unlike Vegas, it is a real city

Bally’s is pronounced like Bali

I love Las Vegas

MGM Resorts rather than Caesar's!

I am a cheek buster

Ayoo! My most recent trips suddenly make more sense now. What a doc! Thank you for researching this and making such an amazing vid!

Monopoly in real life

You gotta get someone else to narrate your videos bro.

Wait till you hear about food companies

Amazing video

Caesar Entertainment vs NCR Resorts

So basically, if you go to Vegas nowadays, you get bent over and fucked in the ass with firey hot fireplace poker covered in snake venom. Explains why I still walk funny after SEMA

Each time you mis-pronounced Bally's, it hurt.

Cool video…but irritating narration/accent.

I like learning about the background and backstory of things and I learned a lot here. Well put together too.

Bally's, like the local sports broadcasters FYI
thats what that hotel was called

The same old story. Everything is owned by the same small group of people, and they do all they can to find loopholes in the system to earn more money (or to pay less).

Narrator is awful. Bad pronouncements of certain words.

I'm still waiting for them to connect the monorail to the airport...

Stealing money from people for many years

It bugs me that you keep pronouncing it BAILEYS. It’s BALLY’s….The a is pronounced the same as the A in BATH
