Or at least why you care. How many different ways can you say "LV market sucks"?

Well put, if Trader Joe is a retired macroeconomics professor from Princeton vs. a bowling alley lane cleaner posting on his break I'd want to know...I mean, I spend the time reading his posts.

It sounds bad but that's what Vegas locals want. Believe it or not.

I completely agree with you -- both about opening a business and what kind of business will succeed in this town.

But I wouldn't open a business in Las Vegas because I am unwilling to make that kind of investment in this town. I'd gladly open a business elsewhere. But not here. I'll buy houses, rent them, and then sell them when I leave. When I get to wherever I'm going next, I'll set up shop.

(EDIT -- Although I don't see how you could run a Dottie's with only one employee. I imagine it takes around 10-15 or so. You could do a laundromat on the cheap though, for sure.)

I have been in Dottie's twice for doing Craigslist transactions(seller insisted both times). I have only seen one person behind the counter both times. Maybe someone cleaning up after people, not sure. Either way, it is a steady revenue stream. An easy absentee business.

This would be an interesting thread on its own.

"What would you do with $$$$$ amount of money in LV."

Meaning you have to spent in in Vegas, not just save it and then leave the city.

Lets say you won the max pay out on MegaBucks.

I wish to impart one notion here, I am personally determined to do what I can to save our country from going down the tubes like many other past great civilizations. To do this, everyone must be prepared to roll up their sleeves and get in the trenches and fight for your freedom!

First step, become more aware of what's being done and help form a cohesive unit of responsible citizens to restore sanity to our system.

We must put an end to this out of control behavior and allow the system to self regulate and self correct. Allowing the Fed to run rampant will only lead to one thing...

Yeah, good luck with that...

Anything wrong with that? I bought the houses with my hard-earned cash; fixed and rented them out; and provided excellent services to my tenants. Some of the houses are in the same neighborhood of my primary residence, and my neighbors really appreciate what I do to keep the houses and the community in a better condition. Of course when the time is up I will sell them for profit.

Dottie's is a dead issue. They never were really legal but were trying to use a loop hole to establish a low level casino. They are now required to put in a bar, have a kitchen and serve meals 12 hours a day.

Note though you can buy a gas station and have your VP machines. I don't know if you could do it in a laundromat or not - sounds like a fun concept.

I have found a couple of laundromats in the valley with slot machines. Seems that they were "grandfathered" in the business. I plan on looking into the legality of it though.

The Laundry Factory in Las Vegas, Nevada - Coin Laundry Association

Being located in Las Vegas, the original Laundry Factory featured five slot machines when the couple purchased it.
“For us to keep the gaming, we would have had to go through all of the bells and whistles that the state wants you to go through to get a gaming license,” Dan explained.
However, before doing so, he and Krista took a poll of their current customers. Did they like the slot machines in the laundromat? Would they miss them if they were gone?

We need higher housing prices.
Is that what some of you geniuses are saying?
Have none of you have any conscience or intelligence?
Higher prices without higher salaries?
Salaries are going down. Jobs have vanished. What do you want, an even bigger gap between rich and poor?

We need DEFLATION. We need higher interest rates. We need to reward
savers and punish the speculators who are ruining America. Those are the same people who want to let rich FOREIGNERS into America to buy the houses that are now out of reach of most Americans-instead of raising interest rates so housing prices would fall and become more reasonably priced so Americans can afford houses without liar loans.

Higher interest rates and bankruptcies are the ONLY CURE. Party's over. Face the truth.
No growth is possible now, not until government, corporations and consumers all get out of debt.
