“I don’t like Las Vegas,” Cunningham said in the “show me submissions.” “When people say: ‘Oh, Vegas!’ I am like, ah s — “.
Wilson suggested that he was scared with some of the visitors.
“I would leave the job at 10 PM (from Caesars Palace) and you know how you only have watch people when you leave, and you are alone and listen to music? Would return in the morning, like the 9 am, the same people, the same chairs … It’s like a sad city,” he said.
Cunningham has been at the WNBA for some years, and his trips, especially when he was with Phoenix Mercury, took Las Vegas to play the Aces several times.
“Every time I am there, there is only that smell that Vegas has, and I have to wash everything. It’s like that smell,” he said.

Cunningham added that the people he has spoken with enjoyed the city’s suburbs more than what is happening in the Las Vegas Strip. “All those who live in Las Vegas, like outside the strip and in the suburbs, everyone says it is incredible. But I never experienced that, so I am like huh. But everyone loves,” he said.
The narration of Las Vegas in recent weeks has been that the city is “dead” for different reasons: the economy, tariffs and simply not being interesting.
However, the CEO of Circa, Derek Stevens, expressed its optimism to Pak Gazette Digital earlier this week that things will change for the city for the next six months.

“I think in six months, I think the tourism of Las Vegas and our economy in general will be in a much better place,” he said.
