Vegas need to be re named Jericho because its fall is happening as we speak. Vegas was built in the desert with water that belongs to California and the desert is winning.Each time I fly in for the past 20 years I see Lake Mead lower and lower.

Posted on: Luxor makes buffet, Criss Angel and LAX a packaged deal

I just got back from 3 nites at the NY,NY. Unlike the 80's when I first started going twice or more a year the slots are literally DRY....I watched my friend pump ove 1400 dollars over a couple of days and get back about 200 ... I only watched..In the old days the slots would give you you enough to keep rolling. Now they are tied to a pc that says No to every pull. I will not be going back to gamble ..maybe to sight see .but my money will NOT go to gaming...Time for Vegas to say BYE !!!!and be re-invented or disappear

Posted on: Las Vegas Sands warns of potential bankruptcy

My wife and I plus our relatives went to Vegas from TX at least 2 times a year or more from 1985-2004 and we would stay as much as a week at a time. We used to have a ball each time winning small returns from the slots which we used to keep playing and spending. Around 2004 we saw the slots completely shut down!! They are tied to computers that manage pay offs. It was like tossing your coins in the lake. NO RETURNS !! We have been back once or twice since then and it got worse to where we do not plan on going back. I have a lake at home to throw my money in and I do not have to fly there to do it. I actually predicted to my wife that one day ALL the tourists would realize the rip off and that Vegas would dry up. Vegas cut its own throat with its greed. High rollers will never fill all your rooms !!!

Posted on: Slot makers pull together

My wife and I went Vegas at least twice a year from 1982-2002 when we realized the casinos had computerized the machines payoffs. Its getting around here in TX that the fix is on and folks do not plan to go much longer.Good luck with filling all those rooms with Euro visitors.. LOL
