The Rise and Fall of the Vegas Casino Monopoly | How Corporate Greed Killed Old Vegas

Remember when Vegas was YOUR town? When loyalty meant something, comps were real, and you had an actual shot at winning? Those days didn't disappear by accident—they were systematically dismantled by the same casino corporations you helped build.

In this deep dive, we expose how MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, and Wynn built a monopoly that controlled 70% of the Strip by 2019, then lost it all when karma caught up. From mega-mergers and REIT schemes to the global health crisis and the rise of competition across America, this is the story of how Vegas betrayed its most loyal customers—and paid the price.
