Go to Laughlin and enjoy the prices that locals enjoyed many years ago. The help is friendly and you do not have to have a bunch of drunken punks all over the place. Just do not support the big corporations like Harrah's, as they believe in screwing the people down there just like they do here in Las Vegas. These bimbos that posed for the picture except for perhaps Maloof have no clue what is required to attract people and to get them to come back!

Seat belts as we all know should be mandatory because of the safety they provide, however, as a primary offense? This just opens the door for more people being stopped under the guise of seatbelt checks. This essentially will give more power for illegal stops and the potential for further erosion of our civil liberties regardless of whether it is a privilege or not.

If you want to have the luxury of great shows, hotels and 24 hr gaming this is your cost. Perhaps I could buy things in Utah without paying all the taxes like gas tax, sales tax etc., not likely!

If Mayo-DeRiso feels so strong about her convictions she should put herself up to public scrutiny and run for office.

People like her typically will not open themselves to the public as they are afraid their ghosts will be exposed and further they are not willing allow people to sling mud at them the way she slings it at people.

Here is your chance run for elected office and show us you ideas and agenda. As a voter in this Ward the support of radicals like Mayo-DeRiso in my eyes can only hurt the dreams of Jennifer Taylor.

It is a shame that the bean counters cannot read these above posts and learn something!

That's right, what the market will bear, evidently the market had all it could bear of Astoria and the other builders. I guess the large price increase were because there were some value added additions and improvement to their product, better product and quality for the large increases, nothing arbitrary. O! that is right I forgot.

The defenders of Astoria are a sad crew that perhaps does not realize that this company, like many other builders abused the good will of the people by arbitrarily increasing prices during the boom until they helped push the market past a point of reality. Companies like this became arrogant in who they would sell to regardless of federal laws etc., and promoted bidding wars that has essentially led to the crash of the market. You can defend all you want and use phrases that people do not have the "**lls" to take a risk, however, risk is calculated and their risk assessment department lost focus and brought this failure upon themselves just as the lenders have done as well. While they are not the only contributors to the mess, they are at the top of the pile for being pigs! As the saying goes "pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered." Another hog is being served up for dinner! Capitalism is harsh when it self- corrects!

Perhaps if this bad company resurfaces in the future they will realize that moderation is better than excess. I feel sorry for the people who bought their houses and will not be taken care of with their one and ten year home warranties.

Give the government carts blanch and see what happens! Nothing like eviscerating the Bill of Rights! A law that was made to combat terrorists is going after mothers!
It is issues like this that the public needs to stand up against, however, people do not care about these things until they are caught up in this web.

Hey Rverp1 perhaps if you got a better education and learned in school while there, you would have been able to write a proper response and would have learned to correct your grammar and errors. A better education would have helped you get better job security; you are the one who you should be mad at, not the teacher who provided you with a chance.
Get a grip and stop whining about your apparent failures in life.
