Apartment removing perks/amenities - is there any legal recourse?

I'm renting a supposedly 'luxury' apartment (cough). Paying $1500 a month for a one bedroom not including any utilities even water, sewer or trash. The apartment was supposed to have a computer room and a game room.. The apartment has only been open about two years and already they've taken the pool sticks/pool balls/shuffleboard equipment, etc. from the game room.. Removed 1 of the 4 computers, removed the printer from the computer room, and the internet has not been 'live' in the computer room for over a week. Apparently SOME tenants were taking advantage/messing things up, but they have cameras in the public areas and I don't believe all responsible tenants should be punished! Is there any legal recourse or do tenants have no right to request the return of perks advertised and available when signing the lease. This is in Virginia in Loudoun County. Oh yeah.. and the gate clickers for the parking garage don't work every month or so.. but I'm not even going to complain about that. I just feel taken advantage of in general because it seems they just keep taking stuff away and I'm already paying an arm and a leg for the SUPPOSED 'luxury'.
