vegas and the debate in october, lol

DonDiego recommends The Ruins of Detroit:



There's lots of places nuclear waste could be hidden up there, . . . and nobody would notice.

And by the time the Detroit Ruins were filed, . . . there'd be another city with similar ruins, . . . maybe like Cleveland or, more likely, Baltimore.

I would think pretty much any city run by Democrats for year after year....

HUH? Tis has to be the worst analogy I've ever read. It makes no sense whatsoever Mal. If you want to come up with a comparison, at least try and make sure it makes sense please.

Have you been to Freemont street lately. It's damn close to a nuclear waste dump, was there in June and it's almost back to pre-Freemont experience level, which is not good.

Fremont, not Freemont.

And according to LVA yesterday:

October 1, 2015 11:33 Gaming Revenue Takes Another Hit: While August visitation was up by 1.6 percent on the same month last year, at nearly 3.6 million, gaming revenues continued their downward slide with a 1.4 percent decrease on July's numbers. Once again the Las Vegas Strip fared the worst, posting gaming revenue of $527.4 million for August, which represents an almost 5% decrease on July's figure and includes a 16.4 percent drop in table game revenues, mainly attributable to a lack of action on the baccarat tables. The only bright spot was a 12.1 percent increase in slot revenues.

Downtown the picture was a lot rosier, thanks in part to a boost from Life is Beautiful, with 15 percent increase recorded in gaming revenue, and both North Las Vegas and the Boulder Strip also fared well, with revenues up by 21 percent and almost 30 percent, respectively.

So, while we're talking about nuke waste dumps, I think Freeeeeeemont street area is doing well because the gaming is better and accomodations are cheaper (inho). VP has better pay tables that most places on the strip. The low rollers, which might include most visitors, can find better stakes at table games. Can't hardly find a 5 dollar BJ game on the strip. Can't find a game for 2 or 3. Can't speak about slots, since I'm not into them except as a novelty. I've had more comps for less dollars played downtown than the strip. Not as much glitz or glamour, and maybe an older crowd downtown. And, how can anybody bypass a chance for deepfried sugar snacks at Mermaids, quart sized servings of daquiri at LeBayou, or street people taking up space under the canopy? And that's all I got to say about the nuke waste dumps.

Fitting, dig a hole drop in the nuclear waste and fill with the ruins. Maybe they will turn it to a nuclear park...Homer Simpson could live there.
