Yep, I'm behind on my Freepmails, sorry!

They are making a fortune for sure. The casino biz usually does well - when people have a lot of money, they do well. When things are tight, they don't do as well but they do ok. People like to get away for a few days, take a chance, and feel like a bigshot.

Me, I bum free ginger ales while playing 25cent video poker at the Palms! I'm what they call low-end! :-)

These were kids -- 20 somethings -- who went to Vegas to party and not gamble. I spoke to a few of them. They rent a suite for a couple grand a night and then hit the clubs. One told me, "I work hard, if I blow $5,000 in a weekend it's worth it..."

You and me both. :)

Next time I'm in Las Vegas, I need to hit the nickel town at...shoot, I can't remember the casino.

Those are my kind of stakes.
