Most of these problems started with Harrah's. I can feel the suits hand in my pocket as I walk in the door.

I don't know anything about penny slots, except that they are there to pay for the bonuses of the man upstairs. I do know a bit about Video Poker though. I can tell you with quite a bit of certainty that almost all the good games have been shelved. These were the games that a local can play day in day out, get their gaming kicks and not have to loose the mortgage over.

Don't even get me started as to what they have done to the BJ games around town. wannabe1indc is right, you're going to get my money...eventually, but at least let me sit here for a while. And for god's sake, feed a $3.00 buffet!

All this being said, Vegas has seen year over year increases to gaming profits.

Remember when AC first opened, everyone predicted the demise of Vegas. We have grown exponentially every time there is gaming everywhere else.

The small casinos outside of LV just wet the whistle of people to go to the mecca of gaming...Vegas Baby.

Don't worry about FL, the people that we don't get from there were never going to come anyway. Besides, they don't toke.

If there is any doubt, read the article in the Sun about what the prestigious Brookings Institute wrote.

I hardly doubt that the real estate market grew by 652.5% in Las Vegas.

I don't know what the real number is, but I'm sure this has to be typo.
