Las Vegas – While tourism in Las Vegas is down — with more than three million visitors in August, a 6.7% drop from the same time last year — the city continues to drag down as a desirable destination. Families, meanwhile, have been debating whether it is the right place to bring their children or grandkids on vacation.
In the forum “R / Vegas” on Reddit, one of the travelers shared the experience of visiting Vegas in January.
“Why, why, why for the love of all the saints people bring a ton of little kids to Las Vegas?” Someone pointed out the post, in part.

A woman named Sarah from Staten Island, New York, said she recently had a conversation with someone about families moving.
“They tried to make it family friendly a few years ago. Treasure Island had a pirate show, and a miracle was being shown with this fire. But what I think happened was that the parents took a gamble,” he said.
“If they’re going to try that again, good luck with that. But they need to lower the prices if they want families here,” he added.
