Help me categorize 3-5 strip hotels for young gamblers, middle age and the over 50 crowd

I guess we could age from them to 21-35, 36-50 and 51 and older.

 

I haven't stayed at every Strip property, and there is surely a bit of a skew age-wise at some properties, but it's not so pronounced that I've ever stayed at a place and felt out of place because of the demographics of the rest of the guests or gamblers. Or really ever even felt like "this is a place for XXXXXXX"

 

21-35 PH, Linq, NYNY
36-50 Aria, Bellagio, Venitian, Caesars
51+ Flamingo, Ballys, Harrahs

 

There's probably another demographic that we're missing... families.

 

Not missing, I just didn't choose it.

 

Kinda tricky as the older properties like Bally's and Flamingo do get the older crowds, they also tend to get the younger crowds as well as they are older properties and more along their budget.

 

Circus Circus, Excalibur.

 

In my opinion there is no correlation between the age of a guest and the casino/property he/she prefers.

 

^^^ Great pic!

I have the exact one framed, with Sands Chips and a Royal Flush.

I think statements like these generalize/stereotype categories of people. Gaming habits, payroll, length of stay, frequency of visits, behaviour and being plied by medicinal compounds also all play a role.

I play where I want because I have free will and on most occasions a suitable bankroll. When folks are in town are they not all ageless?

 

Yep, not seeing some hard-and-fast nexus between age and casino.

 

Nothing hard and fast or etched in stone , just fun'n about! Having a little fun. Something to do.

 

Right. But you're still trying to categorize. This 50+er enjoys MSS, M and Caesars, to name a few.

 

In that case, you should categorize them based on guest's height. It would be just as fun. I find that the 5'7" and under crowd really likes MGM Grand.

 

Budget is what matters, but general assumptions about income/budget can be made based on age group, though I feel like this isn’t really a mystery by any means:

professionals/ higher income earners likely tend to stay at wynncore/Venetian/aria/cosmo/4S/waldorf

Average earner is probably doing mirage/mandalay/paris/ph/mgm, and many others

Lower income likely around Luxor, Linq, Bally’s, Harrahs, NYNY

Of course this all varies by comps, frugality, not living within means, what’s important to the individual, etc. I have broke friends who stay at wynn and know millionaires who stay at NYNY.

 

Start your own thread.

 

I agree with this list right up until Flamingo.
I go with the exact opposite and put Flamingo in the 21-35. Here is my list.


21-35 PH, Linq, NYNY, Flamingo
36-50 Aria, Bellagio, Caesars, Cosmo
51+ Wynn/Encore, Paris, Venetian/Palazzo

 

Flamingo can go either way, no argument there!

 

51+ for Paris. Interesting.

 

Oh yeah, that's the older folks CET property IMO! With that said, I really enjoy myself there.
