Despite less glad-handing and more hand-washing than any previous Global Gaming Expo, Yr. Humble Blogger is down for the count until further notice, victim of “flu-like” symptoms that surfaced at the end of the show. I’ll be “offline” another day or two, most likely. In the meantime, who’s the idiot at the Nevada Development Authority who brought in a guest speaker to champion a “consumption tax”? It’s hard to think of any form of taxation (other than a federal gaming levy or sales tax) that could hurt Nevada’s leisure-based economy so badly as that.
