What kind of a state lets its prisoners rot to death of gangrene (yes, it's true!), has an old hag of a governor who spends his days texting mentally unbalanced women and pays out all the taxpayers money in civil rights lawsuits because the governor is too lazy to pick up a phone or a pen. Californians should stop going there. The land should be returned to the Paiutes and Shoshones and the city should sink back into hell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-17725983448197455032009-05-25T17:27:22.651-04:002009-05-25T17:27:22.651-04:00Perhaps President Obama should become a mute.

And yes, he's an idiot and his party knows it (now, anyways, after they voted him in).<br /><br />All the crap you see and experience is limited to the Strip (which is NOT in Las Vegas, never has been), downtown Las Vegas, and some of the more "affluent" areas (very relative). The reality of living here is FAR different.<br /><br />Listen, thanks for the visit, and come back again; but the Las Vegas Valley was hurting more from the housing issues, lack of varied business interests/opportunities, and residential flight than from a few words of the Prez (but it did have some effect -- just not that much).<br /><br />And although there is an Official scale replica of the Eiffel Tower here (right down to the Official paint), Paris (France) is (and always will be) the City of Lights.<br /><br />Beaslebeasleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401025436429964999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-79367909755942544162009-05-21T12:36:17.830-04:002009-05-21T12:36:17.830-04:00The difference between going to Vegas and NYC is t...The difference between going to Vegas and NYC is that vegas will let you eat dinner in shorts, and vegas is a hell of a lot cheaperRisingTidenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-19271968694552427772009-05-21T12:35:36.834-04:002009-05-21T12:35:36.834-04:00FN,

How about Las Vegas the whores will make you holler and your dollar will go farther (ok it's supposed to be further but I had to make it rhyme)<br /><br />People still have money it's just they can't afford to extend theirselves. So why doesn't Vegas tell people it's not as expensive as you think. Cut the hotels in half and make everything half price down to the McDonalds' on the strip. Then people will say it's 2 for 1 and just like your hamburgers you'll go and buy two where they hope you spend more money.<br /><br />Vegas has to try harder!

I work in the tourism industry and my company does several large conferences in Las Vegas. We have not pulled our conferences but we have taken a large drop in attendance to our Vegas conferences. When surveyed our members said they were not able to travel to any conferences even if it was for continuing education credits to places that are perceived as luxury or resort destinations. Being in the industry several of my colleagues have experienced the same problem. We have not been able to even look at Las Vegas or several other cities to book our 2010 conferences, because our attendees that are predominantly employed by public companies and just can't justify the expense of going to those types of places. Vegas really is taking a big hit since Obama's comments. I have colleagues in the hotels in Vegas and they really have had significant cancellations, where my colleagues in places like DC have seen some cancellations but not nearly on the same scale. I imagine for Mr. Obama It is both a blessing and a curse to have so much influence over the actions of people. <br /><br />Brandi5Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-1716080463687429502009-05-20T16:57:28.918-04:002009-05-20T16:57:28.918-04:00CHRISTOPHER HAS AN UNEASY PREOCCUPATION WITH FEMAL...CHRISTOPHER HAS AN UNEASY PREOCCUPATION WITH FEMALE SEXUALITY, LIKE HE CAN'T GET OVER HOW REVOLTED HE IS BY IT.

They would've done it, but they were afraid that they'd become a slave state and have their people in chains. So, while America has never been above stealing folks' land, I don't think they did it in Hawaii's case.boukman70https://www.blogger.com/profile/03136977500437036141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-13839534444004984142009-05-20T10:57:50.379-04:002009-05-20T10:57:50.379-04:00"Gibbons' knuckleheaded diss is right up there wit..."Gibbons' knuckleheaded diss is right up there with Cokie Roberts' bizarre diss about Obama vacationing in an "exotic place like Hawaii," seemingly clueless that Hawaii is our 50th state."<br /><br />Its our 50th (stolen, forgive the aside) state and where his family lives.
