...Miserable Greedy Marauders

They do seem to be everywhere, like a gang of carpetbaggers. Instead of the Civil War it's like a Casino War. Isn't there some sort of regulation in place that's supposed to prevent monopolies?

I prefer downtown over the strip and usually stay at the Golden Nugget. Since we rent a car, it's easier getting around from downtown, rather than negotiating the strip traffic.

Someone sent me this link awhile back. I don't know how often it's updated, but I found it interesting. It's called Las Vegas Casino Death Watch:

Just my one and a half cents...
