You are correct JLOKC, and that is the bottom line as to why this club didn’t last. People don’t visit the Strip to hang out in a sports bar. We see how successful even the Hooters Casino has been.

Steve has it all twisted, to borrow the Hip-Hop vernacular, to think the place wouldn’t fit in Palazzo because it’s “known for drawing large numbers of black customers.” That, my friends, is the reason African-American members of the Nevada legislature and other leaders in the Nevada black community were surprised and disappointed. This is another example of ignorant white people making careless statements without basis. The tragedy is he doesn’t even realize the implications of his statements.

Please white reporters, for the sake of news integrity, corroborate statements about black people with black people before running with them. Remember Michael Keaton’s movie “The Paper”? A little research would go a long way.

I have no doubt the club would’ve been more successful had it been a nightclub, despite it’s “basement” location. You should have seen the crowds working their way through the casino asking anyone in uniform “Where’s Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club?” The time has long passed for all of us to stop assuming we know each other and to acctually start getting to know. We’re all in this together, remember?

Looks like a clear case of willful criminal negligence. They need to prosecute this doctor, if we can still call him that, to the full extent of the law with max penalty. Also, why didn't anybody blow the whistle? All involved need to be held accountable by the courts.
