In this no-holds-barred clip from an episode of Fargo Talks, Jeff Fargo and Kris Chanski, COO of The Range 702, speak truth to power about the rising cost of experiencing Las Vegas—and why it might be the city's downfall.
🔥 What you’ll hear:
$50 valet? $25 cocktails? Kris and Jeff call out how Vegas went from America’s most affordable getaway to a soulless cash grab.
Kris lays it out: when you price-gouge tourists, you also kill the local businesses that depend on their return trips.
Jeff explains how the Strip is being managed to maximize quarterly profit, with zero long-term vision for sustainability.
This isn’t just a rant—it’s a warning. Vegas isn’t just squeezing tourists—it’s suffocating the very ecosystem that built it.
