John, You are in a league of your own. You are a tribute to the Gaming Industry and will always be known as one of the good guys! Keep up the good fight.

David Cooper should remember the Commercial Center, As a young man he spent many weekends in the skating rink you mentioned. He was quite the ladies man then and apparently he is now. I remember him, his brother, his dad, his girl friend "T.C", the christmas tree and firewood lot on boulder highway. Your HUGE ford truck cruising Freemont. Your Dads bar on twain. The cabin in Utah.....Ya I remember my friend David.

Dear RPJ, First allow me to give you a lil history on myself. I was born and raised in Las Vegas. My father continues to be some what of a ledgend in the gaming business. He has successfully served as the GM or president of many strip properties. I myself was a top manager at some of the most profitable and successful night clubs in the country. Including the Shark Club here in Las Vegas and Billy Bobs Texas in fort worth. I think I have the credibility to state that if any casino operator followed your line of thinking, they would not be very successful. There is a reason the Fertitta Bros. and the likes of Steve Wynn dont let people like you count their money in there clubs. It is that you are a self absorbed, short sighted Hog. Benny Binion said it best when he said.."hogs get slaughtered and pigs get fed" The visitors and locals of Las Vegas deserve better!!
