tannsummers, your kidding me! LV Sun once again needs to check the quality of its sources. This is the same company that valued the mortgage pools so very INCORRECTLY, that got us into this mess in the first place!

Look at its wonder "partial list" of clients...

This company needs to create the most shocking analysis possible, to attract people to the company, as it looks to rebrand itself away from the its prior core growth segment.

If people wall away, where do they go? Very few states don't have income tax and the if they rent, that props up property values.

Shut it down and help the well run operations the chance to survive. (Also kick Resorts out on their a$$).

Hmmm, not sure anyone is asking for a bailout in Las Vegas. If three fail, it is not like the gaming industry will disappear. Further, there are some that believe Detroit is of strategic importance. Once again, not so with gaming.

Finally, so what if one failed from the eyes of the employee. While the 2-bit casino in middle of nowhere might shut down, it seems pretty unlikely that the Bellagio or the Venetian would go dark. The Tropicana in AC has been bankrupt for over a year and it still operates... The case for a bailout of Detroit is that Michigan already has the highest unemployment rate in the US, letting an car company go under is assuring its will never survive, except in pieces as the two other surviving operators hack away the choicest pieces of meat. Personally I think that is what should happen, but its nothing like the gaming industry!

They will never be like video games as law requires slot machines to give all players an equal chance.

Yeah, and adding a 3-16% tax on room rates IS NOT a good way to Drive tourists into the market!

Nice, way to support an industry that is your largest state employer. No wonder the state so heavily backs Obama, similar sorts of tactics.

Maybe the citizens of Nevada should man up and start paying income tax, just like the rest of the world....

yeah, yeah, we all pay sales taxes and property taxes as well.

Why is this country so short-term focused, and unable to see the long-term implications of their actions? (Sub-prime, I/O mortgage holders, I am looking at you and pointing)

Why can't the citizens of Las Vegas have an impartial news source, I ask it again. Why can't the Las Vegas Sun/Las Vegas Review (same company) disclose how much the Obama campaign is paying them for all the front page web space?

It was suggested in another post that the citizens of Las Vegas are smart enough to read other papers or the internet. However, according to a publication by the Las Vegas Sun, they are not.

Scroll down to the second page and read the highlights and here is what you will find!

- The Las Vegas Review-Journal & Sun accounts for 67% of all daily and Sunday newspaper circulation in the state! (Really balanced!)

- Over 9 out of 10 adults (92%) who read a daily newspaper in the Las Vegas DMA turn to the Review-Journal & Sun, and 97% on Sunday

- On an average weekday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal & Sun reaches over 195,000 metro households -- over 4 times more households reached by Newsweek, Time, & U.S. News weekly magazines combined (46,997) (Circulation 2007; ABC Magazine Market Coverage Report, 2006- MSA) (really balanced!)

- reviewjournal.com, website for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, is the area's most powerful local medium for effective online advertising, with 930,000 unique visitors (NAA NADBase/Nielsen/NetRatings, 11/06)

You are being duped, plain and simple. At the very least, the paper should disclose the value of the advertising, to put some perspective on their endorsement?

You think the US is debt now... wait until Obama gets on board. He will bail everyone out with your tax dollars, ignoring those of us that didn't lever up to buy a house or car they cannot afford. Then tax the 5% of the population that generates the bulk of the tax income to a point that they either leave the US or find a way to lower their taxable income... It is going to work so well... Corporate welfare can only go so far.

I sympathize with the people of Las Vegas, having their primary new service so obviously not impartial to this presidential election.

Could the editors of this paper please publicize how much the Obama campaign has contributed to the Las Vegas Sun? That ad on the front page must cost a fair bit...

Good luck, your going to need it.

To think that people will actually let something like this impact their decision. I guess I can understand why the residents need Hollywood types to make their decisions for them as well.

Your largest state employer thrive off the excess and vanity of others and here you, ready to vilify!

Wait until the gravy train ends! HA, you think it is bad. You can only raise taxes so much, before the working few, throw in the towel or look for more fertile lands.

Good luck, as you are certainly going to need it.
