AMEN!! NEVER ELECT A DEMOCRAT.....FOR ANYTHING!!
Is Planet 13 still open? If so, there is hope.
The man may have a point, but it would be better not to start with this kind of hyperbole. I mean no insult to the people who chose to live there, but some of us are not attracted by the vapid glitz of the tourist industry there.
Bars in Texas remain closed but if they put in a kitchen, they become restaurants and can reopen and we have a Republican governor.
So sad,, how a Democrat mayor destroyed a thriving economy.
Exactly.
He gives Gov. Steve Sisolak too much credit.
The governor has Democrat cabinet and State legislature assisting him in his destruction of the formerly Great State of Nevada.
“Bars in Texas remain closed but if they put in a kitchen, they become restaurants and can reopen and we have a Republican governor.”
Indeed. I am reading more and more about Texan’s growing disappointment with that governor. It appears his edicts are just as nonsensical regarding this issue as many democrat edicts.
Our domestic Dems have imported socialist voters by the millions, dangling all sorts of freebies as bait.
I do appreciate his enthusiasm for where he lives and his points are all good ones about the governor, but after three days in Las Vegas I’m like “get me out of here!” Showing my age, I know.
Never been there and have no desire to go.
I did have a friend, now deceased, that had a great love of Las Vegas that made several trips there every year.
He had the screen name here on FR of Las Vegas Dave.
I play allot of poker out in Vegas or maybe I should say used to play allot of poker. Over the last 40 years I’ve got to know many of the top players who live in Vegas. They’ve pretty much given up on Vegas ever coming back to it’s glory days. You can still find a game in the casino’s but you have to wear a mask and they have dividers and limited seating. The Governor and the Mayor have gutted not just Vegas but the entire state. The biggest game of the year the WSOP was cancelled, Binions poker room has been shut down (For poker players that was sacred ground). I don’t see me ever going back.
Dubious.
DeWine claims to be Republican.
It’s bad rhetoric. Instead of starting with a point all of us would agree with [Marxists in local gubmint destroying their cities] he starts with a point that many of us disagree with. Why? To draw us in and win us over?
I love Binions
—yep—
—the Harry Reid machine-primarily the Culinary Workers Union and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU)— can vote upwards of 10-15000 illegals which now control the state—
Considering that there are 50 states and governors in at least 10 are "incompetent, cowardly and insane with Trump Derangement", I would say the odds are more like 1 in 5.
It is amazing to me the amount Of criticism around here. I am sorry Wayne Allen Root started with hyperbole. But Iconic Las Vegas is the embodiment of America. It is big, bright, the best most over the top in the world. It shouldnt exist because its in the middle of the desert, yet American ingenuity has converted a waste land into a world class resort.
It is synonymous with the best of the best. Entertainers have arrived eleven booked in Vegas. It allows for the idea that anyone can play hard
It is in the American West a place our American fathers tamed as ir was our manifest destiny. It is an American built oasis in the desert which draws the attention of literally the entire world
So as for the hyperbole...the saddest thing occurring here is the perpetual mission of people to criticize that which made America well American. And just by saying no insult you add the word BUT which means ignore everything before that world. Then you go on to say some of us dont like vapid tourist destination. Fine. We are aware id your objection. The real question is why do we care. Believe it or not someone erudite enough to write this critique is probably smart enough to know that some people dont like Vegas
But you cant celebrate Americana and Americans. There are probably things you like that are uniquely American that other people dont. But freedom means allowing other people to enjoy or conduct their lives in liberty. Your statement is destructive to the unifying purpose of getting back to normal. However like many around here, you believe your opinion expressed which is insulting is helpful. It is not.
I would be nice if the contingent of freepers who need to criticize anything not aligned with them would just let some things go. People on Vegas are Americans and deserve our full throated defense from the tyranny of their governor in all areas: economic destruction, loss of medical choice, and individual liberty
You failed to discern this is about American ideals. Not a city
Shame on you.
