I would be much happier about this if the gaming industry were paying their fair share of income tax.

I really think we are on the way back. Hotels are filling more rooms and I am seeing more orders for wholesale food.

I hope things are getting better!

As to the MGM.....don't know why but I can't play there. Reminds me of being in a church. I don't even speak at normal volume in there, I always whisper.

Default WSOP numbers up overall

I think the numbers for the WSOP were amazing considering the online poker shut down. Most informed people thought 4500 was a good over under for the main event and they got over 6800 at 10 grand a piece. I have seen an
increase in people in Casinos every trip. Rooms prices are headed up and comps seem to be headed down.
