It's not that the town is immobile or unusable when at capacity, you just have to have a LOT more patience...

--cab lines from hell at all of the major venues. expect 45-60 minute cab lines at Venetian and Sands late afternoon.

--reservations require connections or greased palms unless you're eating at Fatburger.

--cafes and buffets will have 45-60 minute lines during peaks.

--very few seats at tables open, and expect to play $100 or better at places like Venetian.

Money fixes most of these things.

And that's what I was saying, the guy who is used to being able to do the entire trip for $1000 is SOL.
