    They should have built it on the Arlington Park property.

    Too bad.

    If by '08 you mean '07, and by not made a dime you mean did make a quarter, then you are correct.

    If Steve Wynn feels the economic climate is conducive to investing and building and developing more, it creates jobs. If he doesn't, it won't.

    How hard is that for some of you to understand?

    Some of us place a higher value on individual human rights than do others.

    The Bush economy, whose return Wynn is advocating, was supposedly the one conducive to investing and building and developing more. American jobs disappeared by the millions. How hard is that for you to understand?

    It would be well to not overlook that factor which we may not be able to do much about, but which has done severe damage to the domestic middle class -- globalization.

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this is part of the adult american population who doesn't own any stocks

    We have a lot of people in this country who find other things more interesting than saving for their future, or investing.

    Nah, casino owners never make mistakes. Just ask 'em.

    Sadly, his most outrageous comment from that rant might be that "(Las Vegas') best days are ahead of it." And I love Vegas.

    Anything's possible . . . but the town's still 'way overbuilt, and there are other bull stories I'd rather jump onto than that one. Crime's 'way up, and the labor situation's horrendous.

    And I'm another who maintains a long-term fondness for Vegas, above all the other non-Founding-Cradles-of-American-Jazz outposts throughout this great land . . .

    I've not been back to Vegas since the bastards imploded the Stardust. I don't know if I could bear to stay at another place.

    Orleans comes closest to the Stardust feel, currently. Embalmed performers in the showroom, and Bob Scucci behind the sports counter.
