Vegas’s identity is steeped in nostalgia—Elvis Presley shows, showgirls, mob stories, and the allure of the wild party lifestyle. For decades, the city capitalized on that image.

The trip's participants, predominantly members of Generation Z, exemplify this trend—they mostly spent time exploring natural sights, dining based on TikTok recommendations, and avoiding alcohol and late-night parties. Their spending habits and preferences indicate a future where traditional Vegas may no longer be the go-to destination for this demographic.
