don't even smoke and this guy had me rolling on the floor. Good for him. About time people woke up to nanny state mentality across this nation. And Vegas just shot it's tourism industry in the proverbial foot passing this law. It's FREAKIN LAS VEGAS for cryin out loud! The bottom line to all non-smokers. Don't like it, don't patronize the establishment. FU indeed. What did you expect to find in a city of sin and gambling you morons? ""
You are focusing all your words on Las Vegas. This is a state law- not just Las Vegas.
Reno and Carson City and other NORTHERN NEVADA towns are going to have to obey the same laws, and gambling and tourism is the largest part of the economy here, also.
The next 2- ranching and mining- are under other pressures from the environazis.
You are correct- the voters shot themselves in the foot. Gambling keeps this state from implementing an income tax. Gambling brings enough money to the coffers.
Not just gambling. The whole "hospitality"/entertainment industry shtick contributes mightily to the local economy. The last time I was there I got a vip entrance to a nightclub call "Pure" (ha ha) to see some group of women called the "pussycat dolls" Gack were they awful No looks - no talent, just fat thighs and artificially large (and unattractive) tits. Even with their theatrical makup they were not appealing - should have been called the pussycat dogs, but when I left of abject boredom there were easily 1500 people in line to get into the place to see them. They way you get a table is buy a bottle of booze for $400 or $600 and then share it with your friends. Plus whatever the cover is to get in.
Point taken and I stand corrected.
