I don't expect to see any links to that, for sure. The level of discernment on this thread is pretty sad, really. We have casinos up and down both border rivers so I know how the system works, and it's always to the benefit of the casino; they exist to make money. No matter how well you eat or what entertainment you might see, it's their job to get your money in their pockets. Must I post a link to "House of the Rising Sun" to get the point across?

Keep the day job, Grasshopper. Your ability to "read" other posters socially is underdeveloped, and there doesn't appear to be any psychic ability, either.

***BREAKING NEWS***

Mobsters and drug warlords don't like President Obama either

So carnival barkers like Steve Wynn and Donald Trump don't like the president....I think that President Obama just fine with the "disapproval" of money launderers (oops, I mean casino owners )

And I'm saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime. And I can prove it and I could spend the next 3 hours giving you examples of all of us in this market place that are frightened to death about all the new regulations, our healthcare costs escalate, regulations coming from left and right. A President that seems, that keeps using that word redistribution. Well, my customers and the companies that provide the vitality for the hospitality and restaurant industry, in the United States of America, they are frightened of this administration.And it makes you slow down and not invest your money. Everybody complains about how much money is on the side in America.

You bet and until we change the tempo and the conversation from Washington, it's not going to change. And those of us who have business opportunities and the capital to do it are going to sit in fear of the President. And a lot of people don't want to say that. They'll say, God, don't be attacking Obama. Well, this is Obama's deal and it's Obama that's responsible for this fear in America.
EXACTLY CORRECT. The business world sits in a quandry at the potential carnage Obama seemingly chomps at the bit to wreak on the American economy and the businesses that fuel it.

When will you Obama-supporting dweebs every get it. The business of America is BUSINESS. Profit is the most powerful force on earth and the force that makes the world go round, AND orbit the sun. Get over your infantile resentment of success, get on board with progress and leave the anchor at home.

The fact that you equate a successful, legitimate businessmanlike Steve Wynn to criminals says more about your worldview then anything else.

Amen to that; when it comes to knowing what it takes to create jobs and wealth in this country, Steve Wynn wins this in a total mismatch.

Kinda like Nebraska playing (insert your high school here) in football.
