Not So Grand - But Still Downtown

#1

Check out today’s (11/10) Las Vegas Advisor Today’s News column and the article
Devaluation at Downtown Grand. This was reported earlier by others on these pages, but the LVA commentary is rightfully very harsh - “casinos tend to open loose and adjust later, but the adjustment at DG came at record speed.”

Up to this  point DG did everything right when it came to design, planning, PR, and launching - and then they blew it - "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory."  With that dumb move they have written off a lot of potential customers including yours truly.  Sound marketing means that you offer something for the broadest market base - instead of dumbing down.  We'll see what this means for the future of DG.

Someone needs to tell these rocket scientists that there is a ton of POSITIVE video poker within a 1-2 minute walk of their casino while they are downgrading already negative games.
Pure idiocy.
