"...UNLV has had 40+ years to get this city behind them and all they have done is kick us in the balls over and over again with bad coach after bad coach. They have done nothing to upgrade the ancient facilites, and the football budget cannot compete with anybody..."
And you guys want the NBA???
I live in Phoenix. UNLV, please do NOT hire Dirk Koetter. Get an assistant from the Pac-10 or Big 12. Trust me. UNLV needs to start playing with the big dogs and get to a couple of bowl games. You guys should be all over Southern California snagging recruits if not already, and going to Texas and the South for talent as well. My alma mater Arizona hired Mike Stoops from OU, coming off a national championship, and people ripped him. He is about to go to his second straight bowl game with half his team recruits from Texas. His offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes' name often comes up when a HC vacancy happens.
Those of us in the working class may shop at the Dollar Tree down the street from Sam's Town.
When I go to LV I do NOT gamble on the Strip, and many out-of-town visitors are seeing that the LOCALS properties, the Boyd Gaming and the Cannery family of properties, are the best value. Not as crowded, not as "cheesy" and a better chance to win something. The only reason the Strip is hanging on is because most out-of-town folks and first-timers still don't know any better. BTW, save some money, find a good non-gaming hotel and stay there, just drive or take the RTC buses to your casino of choice.

That means if I am winning too much, some guy watching me in a control room can just dial down the odds so I lose more. Greeeaaaattt.
