Those beautiful hotels and casinos weren’t built by the winners. They were built by the losers.

And enjoyed by those of us who don’t gamble, but like to go see a show or use it as a base for scenic drives (Grand Canyon, etc).

Really? I thought the casino owners spent hundreds of millions building those places for the purpose of distributing money to all comers. Another illusion shattered.

Some people see a glass half full of water, some see it half empty. Not sure where I am on that scale, but those beautiful hotels and casinos are built by winners, who successfully separate money from the fools they attract.

As a big spender from the coast, the late wife and I would drop as much as $200.00 a year in the local casino. Not sure what we enjoyed more; the gambling, or the food. That would be at a minimum 4 to 6 trips a year. Depending on how much of a losing streak we were on. $20.00 each, was a lot of money to lose in one night.
