Another difference is that Las Vegas has gone from vibrant to less vibrant. Detroit has gone from stagnant to nearly barren. The amount of drop may be the same, but the scale is different.

Before all this, was the fastest-growing housing market in the US. Home prices have to come down now, and tourism is dropping, so casinos are cutting staff, but it’s not like Vegas is turning into a ghost town.

Also, people who do visit Vegas now are getting better deals, more comps, and so on, as the casinos try to woo customers back.

I have a house in escrow in Vegas, so Yah me.
