No clue what to say.
I can tell you that the gaming property profits are being slaughtered. The take is way down, whales from Asia are off... nothing is working for them right now.

Despite the tawdriness of the show, I think it has too much class for the average Joe Schmo who has grown up with easy access to pornography.

I am willing to offer career counseling and temporary placement assistance to any displaced employees. I've met a few Vegas showgirls, you might want to rethink that offer. Nice people but not exactly spring chickens

I was in Vegas last year and it’s Darminism to the max. You can just see what’s gonna die and the Tropicana looked like “dead man walking” You can only live off the trademark name for so long.
