Mass casino czar appointed by Patrick and NV trip report

Commissioner Crosby @~$150K; soon to be appointed 4 associates at $120K.
Croby took a pay cut from his UMass gig according to articles.
I keep on hearing Palmer as western mass location and don't know what to make of it. If there's going to be just 3 casinos (5 inc. 2 in N.H) should they be in the woods or in/near the cities? There's one proposed in Miami that has a price tag of $5 billion.

Just back from our now monthly 7 day trip to vegas/laughlin. Hilton, Strat, Laughlin Aquarius and then Green Valley. Jet Blue @ $322 and Alamo for $322 including $12/day for liability insurance. We just started doing this as don't want the paperwork hassles. Worth the $80 to me. Have been getting upgrade to smallish SUV which is great for back roads since taking the liability. Wonder if taking the liablity triggers the computer to offer upgrade. Spent a day looking at houses in Bullhead City Az and Laughlin. About 90 miles to Henderson/Airport/Casinos (not including Laughlin casinos).

Nice houses at $80-$100/square foot. Real estate is a disaster in SW.

Came home up $3K but was up $6K until losing big time on 10/6 DDB at Green Valley. Called the "devil game" when it first came out.
