Anybody else think the these commericals should

Side note. I live in Las Vegas and have always been amazed at how much money is made by gaming. A child sticks a quarter in a video game to experience fast paced fun, challenge and excitement; an adult puts a quarter in a machine hoping to be helped out financially. What does that say about how things change as we grow up? Gaming has grown and grown, and many financial advisors have thought that Las Vegas gaming would collapse because of so much growth for decades, however it has always continued to grow. Everyone thought that Las Vegas would suffer when the casinos opened on Indian Reservations and elsewhere, however it just didn't happen at all, it still continues to grow. But people still stick their money into gaming machines and tables 'hoping' for something back. Pretty sad. Please don't get me wrong, I can see some of the fun behind it, but when you live out here with people that can barely make their rent, well, you start to get a different perspective. Maybe the casinos could get together and buy everyone a Hayabusa and give them something truly to live for

Sometimes a vote is not to vote at all.

I don't feel sorry for those who CHOOSE to gamble and loose. If people are stupid enough to gamble away their rent and food money, tough.

But I think there many many people who gamble for fun and know their limit(when to stop). They play for the rush, not to win millions(though that'd be nice too). Vegas is an awesome place for those types because of the shows, hotels, etc.. It allows you to live(for a night or 2) as if you were super rich. That's

I'd rather spend my money on tires and tracktime

Is there a difference...

+1!!!

That's exactly what I'm sayin'.

Where did so many people loose any sense. I'd rather do time on the back of a moto any day! Do I feel sorry for them, yes; do I relinquish their responsibility to say 'no', not at all. I feel sorry that they don't get it. My point is that it's so amazing how much $$$ gaming makes.

We could probably solve all deficits and subprime mortgage problems in this Country with what the fat cats that own the casinos have made. Maybe not quite, but the point being nonetheless.

By the by, I love Vegas, too!

I found the full text, it took some effort. 47 pages long

The link at the bottom that looks like this "Full text of amendment to existing gaming compact between the state and Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians".

This is just Prop 94, but the others can be found the same way.
