Gambling, alcohol and drugs promoted, prostitution.

All three seem pretty damn trashy. Everything else I can find elsewhere.

You can google all this you know.

Are you disagreeing with the facts I posted here against the lies you have stated?

Why don’t you post the data? Then go ahead and do the math on the water that has to leave lake Meade for more important places compared to what they are pulling out of it, returning, and how much the incoming water from the Colorado is decreasing?

The comps are based on how much money you cycle through, so if you find a game that has a good return (98% or so), you can get massive comps for relatively cheap.


Couple of factors here.

Casinos like to track their players spending. That is how they can offer such trips. Most places use point system is based on coin into the machine. Some places it is one point for every dollar wagered on slots and one point for every 2 dollars wagered. I have seen some places do 1 dollar for 1 tier credit, some do 2 dollars for 1 tier credit, or more. Caesars is the worst at 5 dollars coin in for 1 tier credit.

Table games are a whole different animal, that I have never messed with since like slots and video poker on a rare occasion.

Some places like Caesars and MGM also have companion credit cards that boost you to a higher starting tier and added point multipliers.

But going back to your mom’s budget. Video poker depending on the variant is probably one of the least volatile games in the casino. It is one of the reasons why you need double the coin in to make a single tier point.

No, your town smells like arse. You can smell it before you can see it. Clean it up.



“No” ? Not sure what your point is in saying ‘no’ when everyone agrees that the town smells like arse.. or more specifically, vomit & urine.. that’s not in question, what is in question is who exactly is to blame ? My contention is it’s the tourists who visit and imbibe too much, then they turn around and complain about the smell .. Are you saying they are not the problem ? Or maybe you are one of them yourself ?

Have you been there lately? Vegas is literally one of the fastest growing cities in the country


The old Vegas of slot machines, cheap booze, and casino buffets has changed quite a bit.
It’s becoming the entertainment capitol of the world. Lots going on there. I’m more inclined to visit now than I was 10 years ago.

But it may undergo a big change. With new additions like the sphere and NFL games, and soon MLB games, the city may shift toward entertainment outside of the casinos.


This is exactly what's happening. The casinos will always be a thing there of course, but the city itself is diversifying away from strictly gambling and moving towards varied forms of entertainment, to include family friendly options.
