Shouldn't surprise anyone, as Nevada ranks dead last in almost everything from education to affordable housing and utilities. The only thing this state ranks number one in is greed and corruption. Politicians and elected officials as Trump often says leave this state in one of two ways...In handcuffs or in a straight jacket...

Here is an even better idea Mr. Lanni, since you are now the Mr. Fixit of Nevada....sell your helicopter, and maybe one or two of your limos, and donate roughly 50% of your nine figure income to the state, and that should take care of the budget deficit. This from a man who makes his money, emptying the wallets of tourists with his ever so tight slot machines. Another one who just contributes so much to society and the good of Nevada. And keep hiring those illegals, since I am sure your wife doesn't want to break a nail doing laundry or dialing the phone, and I am sure you need even more yard help as well...If Bloomberg and others can forego salaries in tough times to set an example, and join the troops so to speak, what makes this putz so special and different ??? The next time a casino boss comes up with an idea like this, call a doctor, give him a few aspirin and have him lie down. I am sure the idea will pass like gas quickly.........

Clark County has toyed with this idea for over 10 years, and prefers to sit on its hands rather than act on it. As a pilot, most of us hate flying in and out of Las Vegas. Having to circle the entire valley sometimes twice after takeoff or prior to landing is insane. And add to it that you sit on a crowded taxi way for sometimes up to 20 minutes is idiotic. At todays fuel costs, this county is wasting more jet fuel than some airlines. And lets not forget the stupid altitude rule over the United States of Summerlin either. What Vegas needs is a larger more modern airport with better and longer runways, and terminals that can actually handle volume adequately. But the idiots who run this town and county will screw this up in the process as well, like building the airport first, and opening it, then worrying about access roads and parking. The only thing this stupid county is capable of is opening a casino. And then whining when they can't fill every room 24/7 365.....Build a few more, and don't worry about the airport or roadways. And when airlines that now give you 20-30 flights a day cut back to 5 or 6, you will have no one to blame but yourselves. By the end of the year we will cut capacity to this city by 10%. And smaller aircraft too. So you will have to get your precious gamblers in to town some other way. But the way Nevada moves, that will take decades as well..............

Here is what the residents of Clark County should whine about, and not airfares or cuts in flights..What possible reason would a person need to make this kind of money by running gambling halls and hotels, but you call it entertainment !! And lays 400 people off that probably worked harder than this man ever did. Talk about a city whose motto should be "Greed is Good" ??!! The sad thing is that the fools who are long term residents let him get away with it, by patronizing his properties. Anyone with this kind of arrogance and thinking he is contributing something to the good of mankind has to be nuts. But there is a fine line between genius and insanity.......

Flying is not a God given right, and it is not gauranteed in the constitution. As the cost increases, some of you may have to consider Amtrak or Greyhound. Or gas up your Hummer or Lincoln Navigator and take the drive. Everything else has gone up gradually, but everyone whines when airlines raise fares or cut the number of flights. Las Vegas is a luxury not a necessity for most people, and frills get cut first in tough times. Instead of whining about airfares and cuts, approach the idiots running this county about lowering the price of leasing office space so that other industries might actually consider moving here, and no one would have to rely on the whims and well being of the gambling industry. And get them to offer the same generous tax credits the casinos get. But that seems to be to complex of a thought for most of the residents of this county. You would rather whine about people not coming to this town to have their wallets emptied by your employers.........
