What goes up, must come down. Considering the stock market is readjusting after two explosive years, no wonder the economy especially here is going down. People don't have the money right now, and gambling is not on anyones minds in this economy. But the idiots running this county and city are too blindsided by greed to realize we don't need more casino/hotels and gaming stations.
But we continue to build more and then people like Lanni and Mayor McVodka cry when the rooms aren't full. Go after more and other industry so you have a larger tax and economic base, but the fools here won't. And with airlines cutting back by a total of 25% this fall do these idiots think that people will just drop out of the sky here ??? The growth in Clark County will be stagnant along with the local economy for the next 12-18 months. But since out here no one believes facts and prefers to look through rose colored glasses you figure it out on your own..........
Being optomistic is one thing, but unfortunately the build it and they will come theory does not apply here. I think Walker needs to either resign or is due for a reality check. Airlines are cutting back and not expanding in the Las Vegas market, and any optomism on his part that this will only last a few months is nuts. Starting in September we will be going from 44 daily flights down to 32. And just because this man is building a new terminal we are not suddently going to pull a 777 off international runs, and substitute it for Las Vegas. This will last at least two-three years, before anything changes. And who needs 3,000 more hotel rooms ?? The city can't fill what they have now, but want to open more. Good luck with that. You think the casinos are scrambling now, just watch later. Further proof that the local government of Clark County is clueless about reality. The sad thing is that locals as they are called keep re-electing them. I have yet to see one politician or official with any vision or brains, other than the vision of feathering his/her own nest and leaving a dent on the state. The rest of the US laughs loudly at Nevada..................
Shouldn't surprise anyone, as Nevada ranks dead last in almost everything from education to affordable housing and utilities. The only thing this state ranks number one in is greed and corruption. Politicians and elected officials as Trump often says leave this state in one of two ways...In handcuffs or in a straight jacket...
Here is an even better idea Mr. Lanni, since you are now the Mr. Fixit of Nevada....sell your helicopter, and maybe one or two of your limos, and donate roughly 50% of your nine figure income to the state, and that should take care of the budget deficit. This from a man who makes his money, emptying the wallets of tourists with his ever so tight slot machines. Another one who just contributes so much to society and the good of Nevada. And keep hiring those illegals, since I am sure your wife doesn't want to break a nail doing laundry or dialing the phone, and I am sure you need even more yard help as well...If Bloomberg and others can forego salaries in tough times to set an example, and join the troops so to speak, what makes this putz so special and different ??? The next time a casino boss comes up with an idea like this, call a doctor, give him a few aspirin and have him lie down. I am sure the idea will pass like gas quickly.........

I think someone in Wahington should install a windmill or propellor on this mans head. It might actually get some energy upstairs for a change. He is against offshore drilling and justifies it with "It will take too long for the public to gain any benefit from it." His estimate is 7-10 years. What does this alzheimers victim think will happen here ?? They will just be magically up and running within 12 months ?? And his reported employment benefits are at least 5 years away. Wake up Reid or step aside you fool, unemployment is at its highest in Nevada in 15 years. Instead of chasing wind and dreams, lure some industry to Nevada that will actually hire people and lower these numbers. But that requires thinking, something that Reid seems to be incapable of doing....
