That's not what's causing it. Predictions were for a strong 2017 in tourism. Strongest year since 9/11. Now looks what's happening.

I'm in Vegas this week. Still a shite ton of foreigners. They're awesome.


So am I. I don't think that they've gotten the "slump" memo out here.

Predictions were for a 2017 recession and a weakened dollar. You know that, right?

I'd guess it has a lot less to do with Trump and his policies, and more to do with how the media around the world reports on him.

Need to blame this on the hyperventilating Liberal media. Creating a panic will cause people to suffer. Thanks, libs!

This is mostly just keeping the people we don't want coming here, out. Think about it.

So you're positive it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the really really strong dollar relative to the recent past?

Apparently, an attack on one group of tourists is regarded as an assault on all.

Fantastic!!!

We don't need anyone that stupid to come here even if they are dropping Benjamins behind them.

That kind of idiocy may be contagious.

WINNNINNNNNGGGGGGG !!!!
