Can we all just agree that "Dynamic Pricing" is a fucking scam already and ban it? Archive: https://archive.today/64YpF From the post: >>As tourism to Las Vegas continues to decline, hotels in the desert destination might do well to reflect on Westgate Resorts’ Responsible Gaming Statement, which says it’s a myth to believe that your luck will change if you are on a losing streak. Yet it appears that beleaguered hospitality businesses in Sin City are continuing to bet on turning their fortunes around, applying cut-price sales and controversial dynamic pricing methods to attract and squeeze as much as possible out of visitors. Las Vegas visitor numbers fell nearly eight per cent from January to July 2025, with June and July figures down 11% and 12% respectively year-on-year, according to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). Amid generalised woes for the United States tourism sector, as international visitor spending is forecast to drop six per cent to $169 billion (€145 billion) in 2025, down from $181 billion (€155 billion) in 2024, the former undisputed entertainment capital of the world is suffering alongside destinations as far and wide as Texas, California, and Florida. The absence of Canadian visitors, who have stayed away en masse in response to President Trump’s foreign policies, is of concern, as are travel warnings for the US from a suite of source markets, and rising travel authorisation fees.
