there on July 27 after allegedly tweeting terroristic threats, among other malfeasances. Strauss’ reign of error began at Red Rock Resort, where he was accused of pedophilia out by the hotel pool. He was 86’d and repaired to the president’s place, where the security director “was monitoring Strauss closely.” Strauss then caromed over to The Venetian, where he was reported as threatening to kill himself or anyone who came near.

But you don’t get a lot of downsides that tend to come with big cities, things like traffic congestion, crime problems and general wear and tear,” explained 
Boston Globe is already tossing around the ‘S’ word—saturation. Saying that casino executives might not like hearing it, the paper rejoined, “They had better get used to it.” University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley professor and casino boffin Clyde Barrow said the saturation mark is hit when slot revenues fall below $200 win/slot/day on average. MGM Springfield has been below that metric for two months, which both Encore and Plainridge Park exceed, the latter quite easily.
allow the Nugget to take bets on any NBA games that don’t involve Fertitta’s Houston Rockets. In essence, the bill “would permit anyone who owns 10 percent or more of a professional sports team to accept bets on games within their league, as long as it doesn’t include the team they own.” Those are the same rules under which Tilman rolls in Las Vegas.

If it does, the 300,000-strong Cherokee would join Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands in have delegates who can vote in committee but not on the floor.
of that was driven by good slot winnings, 6.5% higher on 5.5% more coin-in. Table games other than baccarat rose 5% on 6.5% higher wagering. Downtown ($52.5 million) jumped 7.5%—this market has made a really impressive comeback—while North Las Vegas was flat at $27 million. The Boulder Strip ($82 million) grew 4% and miscellaneous Clark County had a 3% uptick to $103.5 million.
