The Strip has always been the worst part of this city as long as I've been here. The weirdest trip is when I worked retail on it, and there was no freaking way you could ever responsibly afford the stuff you sold (even with employee discounts).
I imagine a majority of that area is like that. The rank and file are meant to serve the wealthy invisibly, and get out. The enjoyment is for the oil sheiks and tech bros and other wealthy foreigners who couldn't tell you what they do for that wealth in under a hundred words.
I've been fortunate to see some shows and things here before, but the rest of the city, much as I want to escape, has much more to offer than that nasty den of scum, villainy, and abject misery that is The Strip.
Unfortunately, if the Strip tanks, it'll likely take a lot of the city with it.
