I waited an hour and a half to get in. I wouldn't wait that long if it wasn't free.

It was good though.

I know I'm going to regret this, but...

I don't understand the above statement. Guliani was an egomaniacal jack A S S who began the destruction of NYC that Bloomberg is trying to finish by demolishing the middle class. He was the most hated man in NYC on 9/10/2001. He managed to regain most of that status rather quickly after 9/11. He did what he wanted, not what was right for NYC.

Much like Wynn, they both show little social or civic consciousness.

And by the way, the law of supply and demand is subject to the law of perception. Both cities, NYC and LV are suffering economically right now as a result of GREED. Flippantly dismissing the actions of the "players" as business savvy allows them to exert unnatural forces on the markets resulting in reactionary catastrophes.

But, you know what, you're all correct. I don't live in Las Vegas, I don't collect unemployment, I don't have an underwater mortgage, and I don't have to vacation there.

Might is right, and greed rules.
History has proven it, right? Just ask the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire...............

Yeah and if your job gave you a 15% raise, I'm sure you would turn it down. Statements like this make me sick =[

What will happen, is that alot of those tickets will be on reserve for high rollers, celeb's, and others...it is the "masses" that will be paying the high price. I don't see that over $200 is alot for a concert, I went to Jimmy Buffet awhile back, and paid $150 for a ticket. And that is not even in Vegas, at a decent place.

I don't understand why anyone thinks Wynn is going to be making tons of money off of these price increases. If anything, the price increases are probably necessary to cover costs and make up for losses.

I don't see how that's greed...that's simply staying in business.
