Nevada is done for. It was once one of two place in Amerika where you could legally gamble. The other was Atlantic city. Then the Supreme court said that Indian reservations could allow gambling there. What followed was a frenzy in Indian casino building. The indians even tried to create out of thin air, new reservations and tribes, as they tried in Colorado.
Now, nearly every state has many gambling site. People don’t have to fly to the ends of the country to gamble. Chris Criste has said that Atlantic city is dying.
LA built Vegas. Vegas was close to that huge base of customers just as Kalifornia took off after WW2.
Now, why drive or fly to Vegas when you can stop off at the Banning casino.
When I worked for the Forest service in 78 fighting wildfires, Banning was a common source of fire. There was absoulutely nothing there but a Del Taco. The indians would set fire to their range several times a year to burn off the over growth brush to improve grazing for their sheep. After the fire we would always stop at the Del Taco afterwards to eat. One time we went to a training fire there. Someone donated an old building to burn so we could practice interior firefighting. While we were burning the building down, someone went up the hiway and set a wildfire on the hill. They figured, since we were there anyways. I remember I met a couple chicks when we stopped off at the Del Taco after the fire.
Ah youth.

Whether the employees are paid federally, state, or both they will be “union” and will fund all democrats at all levels with tax payers money! The only way to stop the crony “unionism” is by a National Right to Work law which will give the employees the “right” to not join the “union” or to opt out…

To put a good spin on the Vegas train idea, at least it’s for the boring, long, desert half of the trip.
