Any truth to the rumor that the Boyd downtown casinos will start charging a resort fee after the first of the year?

What is your take/interest in the Raiders relocating to Las Vegas? My take is I go to Vegas to eat-drink-gamble and have no time for live sports. Granted, I live in the Bay Area and can watch them anytime, and I really don’t wish to pay any higher hotel tax to cover the stadium cost.

Stadium tax: Part II.

You recently wrote that property taxes are being paid on the stagnant Fountainebleu. Since Carl Icahn purchased the property in 2010 and he's trying to sell it, how much has he paid so far in property taxes?

What ever happened regarding the federal proposal that winnings be reported to the IRS (and that W-2Gs be given to the gambler) for changes to the amount won from slots and keno? I realize that the threshold hadn't been increased since 1977, and I'm sure that both gamblers and casinos were incensed at the proposal. If something new has been implemented, what is it?

During the early '90s, I vaguely remember the Mount Charleston Hotel being shut down (seized by the Feds?) Am I imagining this or did it happen?

How would the average person go about buying stock in a casino corporation (in my case, Boyd, since I'm loyal to their casinos and hotels)? I'm guessing there are ways to buy without exorbitant broker fees ... Any advice?

What's the status of the IRS initiative to force casinos to issue W-2Gs for $600+ slot jackpots instead of $1,200+ (as they do now)? Is there anything we as players can do to voice our displeasure and help prevent this from happening?

I've heard rumors that Caesars is in bankruptcy? Is it true? If so, all or which parts of Caesars Entertainment?

I heard that the IRS is going to start requiring casinos to issue players a W-2G when they hit a jackpot over $600 on a slot machine instead of over $1,200 like they do now. That is crazy. I'd always heard that they needed to raise that threshold, which was set back in the '70s, not lower it.
