Most Annoying Thing in Vegas

List Author: Hunter
  • People That Don't Know How To Walk - You’ve seen these people. You’re walking behind them and all of a sudden they stop for no reason whatsoever. If this was a highway they would have just killed 30 in a multi-car pileup. They should not be allowed to come to Las Vegas.
  • Porn Slappers - Thanks to enterpriser for this one – he’s right – they are totally annoying.
  • Strollers - I might catch some flak on this one but I personally can’t stand having to dodge strollers in the casinos.
  • Time Share People (from Ron) - High pressure time share companies that annoy couples walking on the Strip (and in some hotels) offering show tickets and meals if you sit though a 4 – 6 hour high pressure sales pitch.

    Porn slappers! It should be legal to slap them back!
  • over 4 years ago by sageblue
    Thank you so much for number one! It’s called a sidewalk, not a sidestoprandomlytostareagapeatsomethingyouhavealreadyseenonthetravelchannel.
  • over 4 years ago by Hunter
    Yeah, I totally agree. I can’t stand people that just freaking stop. At least get out of the way!

    I agree on the “stopping in your tracks” idiots!! But to tell you the truth, I can stand the porn slappers better than I can those idiots trying to sell you show tickets or time shares or whatever it is that makes them say, “Hey, Newlyweds,” or “Are you married,” or “In town for a few nights,” and try to impede your walking down the sidewalk to get you to talk to them!!!! At least the porn slappers let you walk on by and don’t try to talk to you.

    Totally agree with you Hunter. Those sudden stoppers are the most annoying. People with strollers are a close second. Kids just do not belong in Las Vegas. Can’t tell you how annoyed I get when I have to listen to a parent dealing with an overtired, overheated young child who is crying. We never came to Las Vegas until our kids were grown. We like that we can act like adults (sort of) without having to censor ourselves constantly. I applaud the casinos who do not allow strollers. I wish everyone did.

    One of my pet peeves is sitting at a hot poker machine and having a smoker blowing smoke my way. I know there is supposed to be ventilation in the casino which keeps the smoke away from the non-smokers, but it does not always work that way. This is really the thing that bothers me the most about gambling. It is so disgusting to walk up to a machine and find dirty ash trays or ashes all over the machine. What’s wrong with smokers that they feel they have the right to drop their ashes wherever they want? Totally gross.

    I agree with the “pornslappers” being the most annoying. However, almost as annoying are the strollers on the strip – especially after 9pm. Do the signs on the sidewalk that prohibit under 21s on the Strip after certain times not apply to them?!!! :(

    Stollers definitely. I actually feel for these kids whose senses are overexposed with sounds, crowds and noise and then their parents are surprised that they don’t act perfect.

    Demise of $5 3/2 Blackjack is another thing that ticks me off.

    Rude dealers. Almost every casino has them, but some more than others. Many times you can tell them just by a walk by. Insolent stance, speed dealing, never smiling. Hey I understand it can be a stressful job and they have to deal with jerks on the other side of the table, but they CHOSE this job. And why the casinos tolerate it, I don’t know. If someone at the check=in desk treated customers like some of these dealers do, they would lose their jobs. But it is tolerated and I believe sometimes even encouraged by pit bosses.

    If you notice that the porn slappers only stand in front of certain places it’s because they get paid by casinos to stay away, so take a look at where they are standing.

    And about the strollers it’s a mith among the old Mirage Resorts employees that Steve Wynn once tripped on a stroller on the casino floor and banned them from the Mirage. If you have noticed the signs this seems to have carried over to Wynn Las Vegas.

    oops!, forgot one….
    Two words BONUS BINGO!

    People who walk two or three abreast on a narrow sidewalk. Most noticeable when you are heading from the Aladdin towards the Harley Davidson Cafe. If the rude people would walk single file there, we wouldn’t have to worry about getting knocked into the street. I saw 4 young ladies in their 20’s walking side by side and an elderly gent had to step onto the street as they wouldn’t move over. Their mothers must be so proud to have raised such well mannered girls.

    Smoke, smoke and too much smoke. I would also have to say the lack of seating in the sportsbooks, especially the actual sports side. It always seems to be adequate on the “race” side. Lastly; Superbowl parties and lack thereof. That is really annoying, f#*$@in NFL.

    Slowly diminishing good 3:2 blackjack games. (Any dumb bell who has a GED and can divide the numbers 3 and 2 or 6 and 5 knows that 3:2 > 6:5. Kudos to them for tricking the people who play those lousy 6:5 games).

    Continuous shuffle machines!!!!!!!!! (Are they trying to insult my intelligence? How dumb do they think I look?)

    Getting rated at BlackJack tables… I been told many times by personell they don’t rate you unless you play $25 or more. This was at MGM and Harrah’s properties. The strip just lost my business… it’s all about downtown.

    Porn slappers are halarious… I usually take their flyer then slap it back in their hand. I can do porn slapping with more grace hahaha.

    The strollers. Always the strollers. You’re walking down the sidewalk at midnight and somebody’s crusing with a stroller, kid asleep. Put the kid to bed or don’t bring the kid to Vegas (better yet). Very few people are as enchanted with your children as you are.

    Not necessarily in Vegas, but it’s so annoying to hear people put the word “The” in front of hotel names that don’t have them. The Venetian, The Mirage, THEhotel (duh!) are fine, but “The Wynn”? “The Luxor”? I think I’ve even heard “The Excalibur” before.

    Furthermore, it’s “Caesars Palace”. A before E and no apostrophe, thank you.

    People that complain about smokers. People that whine about smoking usually whine about anything.
  • over 4 years ago by TogaBill
    I agree Maggie – I know people just like that. We just try to avoid and ignore them and some of these people are our friends.

    MSG to JMVegas – I know what you mean about MGM, however NYNY comps at the $5. blackjack table.

    I don’t mind courteous smokers. I’ve sat next to a FEW smokers in casions who were nice about it. But non-courteous smokers are annoying. Sorry, I just don’t like the smell of it on my clothes then going somewhere else afterwards and having someone tell me I stink of smoke. Plus I hate when people leave thier cigarette in the ashtray and the smoke blows directly into your direction and that person is sitting there gagging the whole time. If that’s allowed then it should be fine for me to lay a big stinky fart in public every few minutes and not have anyone complain about it. Same thing. Both reek. But both can be done with courtesy, you can keep your smoke off to the side so it’s not disturbing anyone and I can excuse myself and go to the bathroom and blow my “smoke” in there, and we all live happily ever after. Again, feel free to smoke but when you see someone itching their eyes or coughing, or waving it out of the air just don’t sit there and keep puffing away. Atleast try to be courteous to people around you and try to compromise.

    I’ve complained about the ‘The’ thing before, on the T2V board. Most people thought I was insane. It does bug me though.
  • over 3 years ago by Maggie
    Hunter, What is ‘The’ thing, and how do you get to the T2V board??
  • over 3 years ago by Hunter
    Mike E first commented on the ‘The’ thing above… He puts it quite well.

    Here’s a few to annoy the Wynn fans:

    The background music in the Wynn casino. Easily the worst of any major strip casino.

    The Bonus Bingo ditty. Usually even more annoying than the background music. What’s worse, sometimes it’s a relief (because the background music really sucks). And when it goes “Bwa-ha-ha-ha” when you inevitably lose, that’s really annoying.

    I’m a ‘Wynn fan’ but I don’t disagree. That music is bad. I really prefer the Bellagio’s Sinatra/Martin/Fitzgerald background music to Wynn’s top 40 crapola.
  • over 3 years ago by Mike E
    I actually don’t mind the background music at Wynn so much. Much of it is 80s music that the dealers and I have made fun of because we’ve caught each other singing the words to.

    On that note, the music they play on the weekdays at the European Bathing pool is THE BEST—mostly old jazz standards or newer takes on the classics. It’s the perfect lounge music.

  • over 3 years ago by Mike P.
    I should be a huge Wynn fan, since I’ve “earned” 3 W2G’s there so far this year. I’m probably being picky because I’ve spent too much time in the casino.

    Pornslappers! Pornslappers should have special sections of sidewalks where they can stand and “do their thing”. At both ends of these sidewalks there should be large garbage cans/recycling bins for all the trash these guys generate.
  • over 3 years ago by SPRUNT
    OH! And the damn taxi drivers! F those guys! I’ve ridden in two taxi’s in Vegas. On one of them I counted 5 near-accidents. On another I stopped counting near-accidents when we finally ended up rear-ending someone. I’d rather take the bus, the tram, get a limo, or walk. F those guys.
