As he will tell anybody who listens, Wynn Resorts<\/strong> CEO Steve Wynn<\/strong> is not only a Las Vegan but a Las Vegas<\/strong> vegan. There’s no zealot like a convert and Wynn (the only casino boss to whom the term “genius” can be applied without exaggeration) has been applying the vegan aesthetic to Wynncore<\/strong> with a vengeance, as you shall see …

At least Steve Wynn and<\/em> S&G share the same taste in shirts<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Since this filmlet has received fewer than one-twentieth the eyeballs drawn to the notorious wedding video<\/a> (the invited guests may have been obliged to laugh but must have been squirming inside), I thought we’d give it some S&G<\/em> love, see if we can drive those page views higher.

The brilliant minds behind SCTV<\/em> imagined something very much like a Trump presidency — 34 years ago. Besides, life without SCTV<\/em> would be a mistake.<\/p>\n

Finally, on a serious note<\/strong>, analysts on Wall Street<\/strong> keep babbling month after month about “pent-up demand” that’s just gonna flood<\/em> the gaming sector … and which stubbornly faces to un-pent itself. Hey, Wall Street, here’s your “pent-up demand”! If Boomers are postponing retirement in order to help your children financially, then it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why even when people are coming back to Las Vegas, they’re still spending less.
