Las Vegas Sands has a back-up plan...
The Marina Bay Sands in Singapore has such a phantastic location that it can't impossibly be not successful.
The banking system in the US and EU doesn't function well anymore and the wealthy are transfering their funds to Singapore these days. More and more banks are opening branch offices in Singapore, and more and more Asians are getting richer and richer. Singapore will be the new financial center of the world and Adelson made a smart move by predicting this scenario. His location in the Marina Bay area is so unique and if you think about, this, along with the situation in Macau will keep the company above water, even if the Vegas casinos are not halfway as successful. Hopefully there will be another correction on Wall Street. I would buy LVS at 7 dollars/share.
I rather go gambling at Jerry's Nugget in North Las Vegas or at the red rock or South Point than losing to terrible odds-makers such as the MGM hustle. Sorry, but I like to lose at a slower pace and get more free drinks than I usually get when losing at MGM Grand and friends. These casinos give no chance to the winners, so why would CitiCemetary be any different?
The beat goes on until MGM Mirage is bankrupt.
Thanks for that info, guys. I remember the Reserve as I was there for Grand Opening. Fantastic casino with so many full pay machines, it was awesome. Hit 2 Royals in the first week of operation!!! (only quarters, though).
I have been to Mesquite, Laughlin, Pahrump, checked out pretty much most of the cities in the Southern part of Nevada. Haven't been to Jackpot yet. Is it worth a trip? Can anybody give me info on that? What's the driving time? Any good hotels there visiting? comps, poker games? Anything worth the drive?
Thanks and greetings from Switzerland

I noticed that massive growth of the city everytime I came to Vegas. And I used to come 2x/year for not less than 3 weeks every time, leaving about 3000-5000 usd in the city, including hotel, rental car, dining, gaming action, shopping, etc. I used to gamble mostly daily, but never took high risks. Quarter full pay videopoker on the full pay machines can be quite entertaining for hours without losing your house, and sitting in a 4-8 limit hold'em game at Sunset Station with the retired people can't be that expensive, either. But it's always fun. Those are things I will keep doing when I come back to Vegas next time.
I am aware of the fact that buying a home or a condo must be very very affordable these days. I also have an idea to get the casino business getting some jump-start, but it's tough to get to the right people listening to me. I would require somebody who has something to decide and is willing to listening to my ideas. There is a way to get business go up to a degree because of certain economical conditions. Please, Las Vegas, if there's anybody around interested to what I have to say....go ahead and contact me under borisradtke at hispeed dot ch. I know this was a bit out of context, but I also agree that further construction in Vegas will probably be limited to remodelling but not adding new properties , casinos, commercial centers. The capacities are big enough now, so now it's probably time to increase quality and work on the future infrastructure. Slash-and-burn mentality is off, it's time to conserve resources and make Vegas what it used to be: A jewel in the desert. It's possible, and once again, if there's anybody reading this interested to my idea, I am open for a message.
