It's because Vegas is for suckers, and they know this. The entire purpose of Vegas is to separate tourists from their money.

Vegas is only fun when you have money to blow. My trip in Vegas all I thought was, why the fuck is this so expensive?

Not my idea of a vacation

Vegas is renown as a low cost travel destination, $5 prime rib, cheap liquor, cheap hotels, but you need to avoid the strip. There is a big immigrant population and there is no shortage of awesome cheap food minutes away.
I have/had money to blow but I still didn't enjoy Vegas a bit.
There are conventions in Vegas too, I was unpleasantly surprised by resort fees and other lowhanded tactics when I went there last week :(
