The problem with Las Vegas is that visitors are now treated like marks rather than guests.
The $50 gotcha charge at Paris Las Vegas for unplugging a cord in the room to charge a laptop is a perfect example:

Days after immigration officials announced the death of a detainee at Newark migrant jail Delaney Hall,
Rep. LaMonica McIver visited the facility for the first time since prosecutors allege she assaulted federal agents there during a melee in May.
McIver’s visit coincided with a new filing in the Newark Democrat’s criminal case
in which her attorneys accuse prosecutors of failing to produce key evidence that they say shows bias among the agents involved in the scuffle,

Today's adventure: the train departs, and a minute later I notice that the lamps outside are moving in the wrong direction. The following thoughts pass through my mind in express speed:
• Illusion? Nope, definitely going front from where I'm sitting.
• Did I confuse directions before taking the seat? Nope, we're definitely moving south.
• Did I really take the wrong train?! I think it departed at the right time, what's the likeliness…
Then I suddenly realize that it's apparently taking the roundabout route, through #Poznań Franowo rather than Poznań Wschód.

The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆

Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated.
Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had
a “17x” strike policy
for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”
