XVP Laughlin tourism takes a big hit

I haven't been to Laughlin since Harrahs got rid of 9/6 JOB. Used to go
quite regularly. JOB is a negative game so I never really understood why a
casino that gives no cash back would get rid of a negative game that was
ALWAYS busy/played. For want of a game that I don't feel like a complete idiot
playing, they lose my hotel stay, restaurant/bar charges and occasionally
show tickets. Stupid.
We used to also go to EW, and stopped when they pulled their full pay
deuces, but I understood that since it was a positive EV game. But pulling JOB
from a place like Laughlin?
The thing that gets me, some of the casinos (CB EW) downgrade their VP
machines...and that's suppose to make things better and bring the people back?

"...Visitation wasn't as good for Laughlin and Mesquite, which are both

monitored by the LVCVA.

It was worse in Laughlin, where visitation was down 10.1 percent to

177,409, with occupancy down 6 percentage points to 59.3 percent.
