Borrowing to resolve debt is like fighting for peace.

Las Vegas' success was always based as a fantasy destination - providing visitors experiences they could not find in their own home town. When resort developers lurched to the high end and took advantage of the false wealth bubble, that is when all the problems began - resorts were built (or designed then halted before completion) for a market that no longer exists. Strangely, people will get on an airplane to see a copy of the Eifel Tower or a pyramid, but not a 'city center'. Vegas would have had continuing success if they would have kept on the track of building themed international icons, rather than homogenized non-descript glass and steel towers exclusively filled with high priced rooms, restaurants, clubs, shows and shops. When is the market coming back? NEVER...operators need to manage for a 2-4% annual revenue increase and forget about the false wealth bubble.

All government salaries must be reduced to the same average levels we pay our military personnel - about $22,00 per year. No government job is more valuable than that of someone willing to die for freedom. All government employee health care plans must also mirror the military - the VA. Any talk about "cuts" is lip service and meaningless when you view our upside-down compensation scale: Government on top (Avg. salary $74K), tax payers (Avg. salary $54K), and military on the bottom. No system will prosper that has the civil 'servants' making more than the citizens they supposedly 'serve'.

That's what happens when you play class warfare and strip earned property from the 'rich' = they find loopholes, move themselves and/or their wealth out of the country to places they are appreciated and can be more productive. This has been happening for decades. Want to keep wealth in the USA and spur foreign investment? Create a competitive business environment and let people keep what they earn = smaller government and less regulation.

Is solar power going to cost me more, or less, than existing forms? If Harry would allow homeowners to install solar panels on the roof, plug into the grid and get a monthly credit from NV Energy for the power generated, now we would have a real difference maker - but too much loss of control for the government in that scenario.

Every home owner should be able to put some solar panels on their roof, generate some power into the electric grid which would then turn their electric meter backwards for a small credit on their bill from NV Evergy each month - but it is "not allowed". Powers that be (Reid, politicians, NV Evergy and power producers) talk a good game about converting to solar energy but it is all lip service. No one really wants to disrupt the moeny flow as is - the environment be damned.

Venetian needs to send their customers to the off property "spa" to ease their tensions - just like the other Macau operators do.

It ain't ever coming back - get used to it and forget about the false wealth bubble you operated in that made you feel so smart and so rich.

Betrayed again by Obama, Reid, green energy...Boulder City - not big enough - too small to succeed.

Party affiliations and labels are meaningless any more. Most politicians and their hacks are corrupt and change parties and policies willy-nilly to follow the money. The will of the governed needs to be defined by representatives true to governing principles. Do you want bigger government and higher taxes? - vote for the liberals and progressives regardless of the party affiliation. Want a representative that is more in line with our constitution? - vote for the conservatives. This is not a one time fix. Elected representatives need to be continually monitored to make sure they govern according to their campaign promises and voted in and out accordigly at each future election cycle.
