Canuckster, well stated!
My wife and I stayed in Primm recently. The place was like a ghost town. The Herbst brothers have really got to be hurting with their bad investments there. What amazed me was the three card poker tables with no one playing and the dealers standing idle. Why was no one playing? Possibly because of the $15 minimum bet limit. I would have played at several dollars a hand, but certainly not $15. Why does not casino management recognize this and take the necessary corrective actions?

It is nice to be optimistic. But, hope for the best and plan for the worse.
Yes! At this point in his career, I believe Silva in unbeatable. He is an incredible fighter.
I just returned from Las Vegas and Primm. Primm Herbst casinos were virtually empty. Las Vegas seemed better, but certainly fewer people than last year or the year before. After this I will play at the Indian casinos. The Las Vegas and Primm machines are horribly tight. What amazes me is the casino mentality. I enjoy playing three card poker, but now the minimums in even some of the cheap places is $5. Too rich for my blood, and apparently many others because most of the tables have very few, is any, players. If they would lower the limit to $2 or $3 they would have more players and increase their profit (my opinion).
I agree with all of the comments about the tight slot machines. I like to play three card poker. When I first started playing in Las Vegas the minimum bet (which I always play) was three dollars. Now it is MUCH greater - especially on the Strip or casinos on a Friday night or a weekend. Who can afford that? Certainly not me. It really takes the fun out of vacationing in Las Vegas. The casino bosses are killing/have killed the golden goose (average American) because of greed. Hello Indian casinos outside of LV!

Even though I live in Montana, I have always considered Senator John Ensign to be one of the best Senators in the US Senate. This is one more proof. The people in Nevada should be proud to have him represent them. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about their other Senator.
