I actually live in Vegas. The casinos, while having a hard time, are bouncing back rather well. Have you seen the new Aria? Unlike coin-op video games, where you end up being a loser even when you win, we actually have memorable professional entertainment such as cirque. Rotating mainstream singers/comedians and pretty much all bands touring the US make stops here. We are in the process of building a family oriented amusement park (long overdue imo), and a new high-speed rail is in the works between here and LA.

Are we in the sh1t, no, just hard times like everyone else. What can you expect when our revenues are highly dependent on tourism in this economy. Please keep in mind though it is international tourism. Domestic may have dropped a few percent (which is a lot) but international is doing well, if not better.

Someday, probably. But I don't see it in the foreseeable future.

It is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.
