It's nice to pick one post to respond to; and this is it. The system
is BROKE. Wynn says no layoffs, so instead, just cut back on the
hours. Anyone living here in Las Vegas can see what is happening or
they must be clueless. Just turn on the TV and look at the ads.
Oops, you will no longer see any ads from Station for Guaranteed VP.
The flop of the year (or is it the decade?); and the funny thing is
people were actually paid to come up with that gimmick.
A better question is: where is all that paper hiding from the
Harrahs and Station buyouts? I hope no one here bought any of that
sausage.
And now, what a shocker; Tropicana declares bankruptcy. That's a
darn shame.
Gas at record highs wouldn't have anything to do with it. The
dollar
at record lows couldn't possibly be a factor. Saturation of
gaming
options across the country is certainly not a variable. A hobbled
stock market wouldn't impact seniors willingness to go out and
blow
money at casinos. That little mortgage issue impacting the
housing
market doesn't come to mind.
Yep, let's place the blame on the anti-smoking ordinances.

that's
a crock -- as once observed in politics, "it's the economy,
stupid".
