Las Vegas hospitality workers say they're squeezed by a tourism slowdown they blame on Trump's tariffs, high gas prices due to the war in Iran and the cost of living.
I saw a breakdown from Bright Sun Films where a weekend trip to the Paris Resort and Casino (not including flights) cost more than a weeklong trip to the actual Paris, flights included.
This is year 2026, USA people want simulations, not reality. That’s why we have fantasy mythology storyteller Donald Trump as leader that entertains people into LOL LOL LMAO constantly. Trump comes from casino entertainment side, not concerned about profits nearly as much as capturing hearts and minds. (The cage fight at White House a couple months ago loss money, https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/ufc-white-house-event-lost-220452457.html but it sure created lots of hearts and minds to LOL LOL LOL at Trump the entertainer. Hate-watching cult fandoms.).

Since USA is now all MAGA values, many people go into shock to visit the actual Paris, France. Reality is just not as entertaining as the anti-reality USA culture year 2026.
“Paris syndrome (in Japanese: パリ症候群) is a sense of extreme disappointment exhibited by many individuals when visiting Paris, who feel that the city does not live up to their expectations. The condition is commonly viewed as a severe form of culture shock.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_syndrome
The Reddit simulation of anti-Trump and the Twitter pro-Trump worship is so much more thrilling to modern smartphone users.

"Their behaviour is all simulatable. Another similar… and this going to sound cynical, but I don’t want it to. I mean, ah, Baudrillard has visited our country and when he went to Disneyland in Epcot Centre and these various parks, he said “Well this is much better than Europe. The food’s better than Europe. It’s a short walk between France and Germany-land” … “Ah, you know, you don’t have to… deal with all those nasty waiters, everyone is so polite”. The simulation has outrun the so-called reality. That concept in Baudrillard he calls the “hyperreal”. Hyperreality is more real than real. This is… it actually sounds… if some of this sounds like advertising slogans: good. Because in Baudrillard the heritage of philosophy and social theory has passed over into advertising and television. So if it sounds superficial: good, because the theory, the world that he looks at has become superficial and banal. If it sounds hokey like a salesman’s pitch: good. The world he describes is the world of Jurassic Park, not of Dante. " https://rickroderick.org/308-baudrillard-fatal-strategies-1993/
