Some random summary notes on this topic, some repeats...

- For years now, the indian casinos have been taking the California customers from Nevada, state-wide. Californians have been passing on Las Vegas and Reno vacations and

- PFA Radio and Druff have publicly said it for years now- the Resort Fees were hurting the Vegas experiences and Druff was right.

- Behind Druff, I personally have been posting about the indicators here in these forums for years now. From the Las Vegas housing market to the Indian hotels to the shut down of various Nevada casinos. This is NOT new, we have been covering the items on PFA for years now, we trail blazed it long before the recent media.

- This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump and tariffs, in my opinion. The liberals are using this news item to take a random and convenient shot at Trump. The old throw mud to the wall and see that stick trick.

- The COVID losses from 2020-2021 are partially to blame, but I have always found that people refuse to blame the greedy CEO/President at the top trying to get his multi-million dollar bonus parachute nest egg to jump out in case things go bad, like now. I have found a lot of people (neo cons) will ignore this theory as they think some day they might be a CEO or company president and dont want to crap on an idea that might happen to them. I see this alot in the online gum communities, they embrace the multi-million dollar CEO bonus idea because it could happen to them someday. My answer- BS, its not happening unless you are currently in the top 3 or 5 in an executive company pecking order. If not, drop the pipe dream.

- Now what is happening- Home in Clark County are in foreclosure as casino workers are getting laid off. Its all part of a wheel turning with different spooks- CEO greed, over blown prices/fees, layoffs, foreclosures, people leaving Nevada to go live with parents and then in 3 years, the "Las Vegas Boom" will start and the media will be dumb blind shocked- Wow! And in another 5 years, I will bump this thread as proof when the cycle starts again.

The problem is- most hotel/casinos refuse to accept that they cut their own throats and have to blame someone else. Some are now doing what I said in this thread earlier- offering deals and BOGOs specials. I know Vegas, been going there since I was a kid in the 70s and then mostly in the last 34 years and lived there. Druff and I mostly did the same pattern of back and forth and a short residency.

In the 1995 movie CASINO, then Tangier's casino CEO Sam Rothstein laid it all out and is still right exactly 30 years later to thos day...
