"People that make sports bets, take sports bets or facilitate sports bets would be criminals under his bill."

Absolutely stupid, irrational, and disgusting.

I agree with homer. The North Las Vegas Cannery is a low-roller grind joint. The games are poor to mediocre, and the money is sweated profusely. The sportsbook is afraid of any action above chump change. The Rampart is slightly less bad. I am sorry to say that I don't expect much from the Eastside Cannery. The fact that it rehired much of the deadwood from the filthy, decrepit Nevada Palace tells me all I need to know.

Surprised to see the incompetently-managed Lucky's on your good list. They have already started refusing bets and lowering limits for individual bettors. Lucky's Reno operation is a joke, with equipment from the 1980's. I give Lucky's three years before bankruptcy.

Planet Hollywood has very little tolerance of brain-using patrons.

I am certainly not condoning robbery, but there is something hilarious about Harrah's getting robbed. Harrah's business plan appears to be to bankrupt its customers as quickly as possible. It is poetic justice that of all the casinos, it is the one that got robbed. Of course, the crook probably got only chump change.

"As crazy as this sounds, I think I have to side with Steve here. There is no way in the world a casino would do as many unlawful things to one player as Mr. Francis alleges. If they were all true, you could take a wrecking ball to WLV because their license would be gone next week."

Be serious. The casino puppets on the Gaming Control Board would not revoke anyone's license. The Venetian was caught outright cheating patrons and got a slap on the wrist. No crooked employees went to jail, and the license was untouched. There are many other examples of casinos doing unlawful things for which they are not punished. License revocation? Will never happen in Nevada, at least not to a well-connected casino owner.
