A trip to Las Vegas can hurt your wallet — but not for the reason you’d expect
Las Vegas may be the city of luck — but lately, visitors say the real gamble is ordering a cocktail.
Sin City tourists are sounding off about sky-high prices on everything from watered-down margaritas to bacon and eggs, with some claiming they lost more cash at brunch than at the blackjack table.
Vegas visitors aren’t just gambling at the slots — they’re rolling the dice every time they buy a drink, a meal, or even a cup of coffee, griping to Fox News Digital this week about the Nevada hotspot’s jaw-dropping costs.
Birthday trips come with surprises — but Katherine from College Station, Texas, didn’t expect it to be the coffee tab.
“Having a coffee that was $14 was crazy. I just wasn’t expecting that. It was just a latte with a few extra flavors,” she told the outlet.
Her daughter Cammie added that even basics are overpriced: “I got a drink this morning. It was, like, $12 for a lemonade or something like that. And water bottles are so expensive.”
Tourists from across the pond were floored, too.
Ben, wrapping up a U.S. road trip with a Vegas finale, griped: “We have found it a bit more expensive than other places we’ve been in the States.”
He nearly choked on his morning brew when the bill came: “We spent $20 for two coffees this morning. I thought that was quite a lot.”
