If there is any where that needs RED Light Cameras it's Las Vegas. I have never seen so many people blatantly run a red light that has been red for two or three cars and number four goes for it! I've been overseas in third world countries, in the 70's and not seen such a disregard for traffic laws. Traffic intersections in Las Vegas scare the hell out of me at times.

Long, long ago in southern California back when strip clubs paid the girls to strip. I was a bouncer and moved up to manager and I can tell you that the owners didn't think of the girl as independent contractors. Trust me this is all about hiding money from our uncle sam.

You don't have to count cards to be asked to leave; my sister is NOT a card counter. She just played a good basic game and was on a winning streak, Harrah's and other casinos don't like winners. You can stay until you lose the farm but don't take too much of their money. The truth is counting cards is not easy and most people that try it don't do it very well. As long as you're not cheating the casinos should not be aloud to 86 you, and your right it is private property. However the state has issued the casino a license and could revoke it for expelling non-cheaters. Oh, by the way, why did the gaming control board allow 5-6 pay outs for black jack? I think this guy should sue the state in federal court. I'm sure a lawyer can come up with the correct complaint. I believe that you can stay as long as you are losing but are removed when you are winning, I would call that theft. The state allows this to take place, so the state is in collusion with casinos to commit a crime. May be there are so organized crime charges that could brought?

We need to bring back flogging. I don't think jail time or making them clean up graffiti will faze them much. If you administer severe pain that will get their attention. First offence 10 lashes with a cat of nine tails, add 5 lashes for each additional offence.

First amnesty doesn't work, Regan did it and it didn't stop the illegal immigration. I fact I think it made it worst. Why wouldn't you sneak into the country if you know that a few years down the road you would be given amnesty for breaking the law? We all know all the problems with illegal's, crime, gangs, welfare abuse, and health care and so on. That last sentence make me sound like a racist bigot, I don't mean for it to but a lot of people feel and think this about illegal immigrants. It comes down to if you broke the law to get into this country, you should be sent home.

What makes Americans really angry is something like this. True story, happen to my family when we lived in southern California in 1993. My son was in the 3rd grade and not doing well in school. I called the school and asked if they could recommend a tutor for my son, the school said that they could not do that. Then they asked if we spoke Spanish, I said no, the school said that that was to bad. Because, if we did speak Spanish, not only would they get us a tutor, but sent them to our home at no cost to us. Because I'm a legal citizen I receive less help and or have less rights than an illegal, and the government doesn't get why were tick off!

If Station has extended the vote that can only mean that the vote hasn't gone their way. If I was a bond holder that had just been offered 10 cents on the dollar, and knowing that Boyd's offer was out there I wouldn't give them a yes vote. Even with a better offer from Station, I think, I would want changes in upper management.

I like Las Vegas, but I hate high room rates, it cuts into my gambling money. I remember the first time my wife and I came to Las Vegas in 1982. We stayed at the Landmark and had all 3 days comped for our play, and we were not high rollers by any means. If the casinos think that after a couple of years that they will get to gouge the tourist again their going to be disappointed. This recession is going to be a life style changing event. I don't think people will be willing to max out their credit cards, or tap in to their homes equity for a trip to Vegas. Not the middle class, and there are more of us than rich people. The rooms will probably have to stay under $100 a night most likely closer to $60 a night. The casinos in Las Vegas need to come to grips with the fact that high priced rooms and sad comps equals me going to my Native American full service casino that is 30 minuets from my front door. In October I took my wife to Vegas for her Birthday, I drop $400 a one crap table on the strip, and was never once offered a drink. This is more the norm for vegas than the exception. God help you if you go to the bar to get a beer, I could buy a 12pak for what I was charged! Good luck in filling all those new rooms.

It's both the Democrats and Republicans fault; I believe it was President Clinton that relaxed the standards for qualifying for loans with Fanny May and Freddy Mac. Theirs more than enough blame to go around! Don't fool yourself in thinking this administration is the second coming. They will sell us out just like the last administration for big time comps down the road. Make no mistake the politicians in Washington D.C. don't give a rat's ass about the average Joe, its big business and financial intuitions that fill their bank accounts.

Boyd's and Stations are competitors for the local's in Las Vegas market, and they haven't always played nice with each other. This move by Boyd's is brilliant, thou some what cutthroat. It is a win win situation for Boyd's, and a loser Stations. Here they thought that they were going to reduce their debt by pennies on the dollar at the expense of their bond holders. Then to add insult to injury the Fertitta's would maintain their control of Station Casino's. So here comes Boyd's with an offer to buy most of their casinos, which is a better offer than what Station management offered. Now many analysts are telling the bond holders not to except this offer from Station, because a better offer is out there, because of Boyd's offer. So, if Station had accepted the offer, their presents would have been reduced in local market and Boyd's would have been increased. That's a win for Boyd's. Now Station's management will have to sweeten the deal for their bond holders, or maybe forced in to some kind of sell off by the bond holders. Bottom line Station Casinos are not getting out of debt as cheap as they hoped. Once again Boyd's wins.

Oh yes, you have advantages, a system that allows a company to dispose of workers that have been hurt on the job. Now that's something to be proud of.
