"Attaboys" are due for a couple of casino companies who are going above and beyond the call of civic duty.
MGM Mirage is underwriting the cost of a new fire station adjacent to CityCenter. True, MGM risked looking petty when it tried to nix the firemen's barbeque pit, for fear that the sight and smell of bratwurst over an open flame would offend delicate condo-owning nostrils next door. But the company ultimately stepped up and did the right thing.
Las Vegas Sands is genuinely creating jobs in Singapore by giving priority to senior citizens, housewives and people currently unemployed, as opposed to poaching staff from other companies. The only hitch? There may not be enough un- or underemployed Singaporeans to meet Sands' needs.
From the pits to the Senate. A pit boss from Foxwoods Casino Resort is challenging Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) because no one else would. GOP candidate Bob Tingle and I would disagree about virtually everything, but he's performing a service for democracy and should especially be applauded for doing it on his own dime.
Mt recollection from early negoations between the County and MGM was that the County essentially forced MGM into "voluntarily" paying for the cost of the Station. Regardless, it does set a good precedent for future development in Clark County.
