Sounds like good advice. Las Vegas' loss is probably the gambler's/tourist's local economy's gain. I guess party politics won't let even simple advice go unpunished.
Local economy's gain? What about the people that work in the casinos? The people that work in the hotels? The people that work in the restaraunts? The people that work in the souvenier shops?Aside from playing a few slot machines on a trip to Foxwoods once, I'm not much of a gambler. But just because it's not an activity I fully endorse, does not mean I should dictate how other people spend their time and money. (Yeah, 'dictate' is probably too strong of a word).
What about the people who work in Las Vegas' casinos, hotels and restaurants? Doesn't matter to me. If they were in my hometown, then I might care more. I'd rather support the people that work in my local grocery store, gas station or restaurant when times are tough. Call me crazy, but I'd rather visit local attractions and keep my money circulating somewhat close to home. Heck, if there was a casino here I might even support that (even though I don't gamble). The point isn't about gambling. It's about where you spend your money.
