RPJ: the excalibur is catering to a more discriminating customer?? what about circus circus, the sahara, etc., etc. Vegas needs low-rollers for these dumps. But right now, they are stiffing the poor chumps such that they don't come anymore.

Posted on: Tourism juggernaut shows signs of slowing down

To follow-up to HelenWeils' comment: just like the real estate market, the costs at strip casinos have bubbled out of control. Now they are all dressed up with nowhere to go as SoCal (the prime source of tourists) heads into a deep recession. Look at the room rates at the Palazzo: that place must be taking a beating because their financing is so fresh. I love the town and have visited many times but enough is enough on the gouging of visitors' pocketbooks.

Posted on: IRS casino nightclub probe likely to go ‘as high up as possible’

While I rarely cheer on the IRS, this is one case where I say: git some, boys, git some! Let those money-grubbing doormen get a taste of their own medicine. And if the casinos were in on it, let them have it as well. The IRS needs to bloody some noses, line up the perp walks. Put these greedy pigs behind bars and let 'em drop the soap: that won't just be a tip you boys you will be getting. Welcome to prison, you get the proverbial shaft.
