The view from Vegas. I know we have quite a few guys here living in Vegas. How bad is it getting, really? I see that there was another 9% decline in revenues, something like the 20th consecutive month.
How are the poker rooms? How is the sportsbook action? And most vaguely, what's the feel? What's the mood?
Here in SD, the poker has slowed considerably. I feel like I'm left with the choice of commuting to LA again (I did that for 3 years, driving up the 5 to the Commerce every day, playing in that 100% Human Misery Index known as the 40/80 limit hold'em, before NL rose from the grave, obv), or doing what I've sometimes done in the past: getting an apartment in Vegas (are they free now?) and driving up there on weekends. Both options SUCK, IMHO, but are beginning to appear inevitable.
Of course, there's online, but I can't fade more than about 2 hours a day sitting in front of a monitor. Something about it depresses/dehumanizes me.
