There is no Budget Suites behind Circus Circus, as Mr Ponce does not own property in Clark Co. Cleaning Floyd's semen must certainly be exciting, though.

There are 7 Pages of "Ponce" in the Clark County Assessors page. Pick one and you might find it. Are you wearing your glasses?

I agree with most of your points except for the hyperbole, like how Las Vegans are fleeced and how the city is unlivable. You should be able to make this point with facts instead. Any corporation's default position is to maximize profits and please its stockholders. Corporate responsibility is a problem in all cities and in all corporations. Good luck living as a sherpa or wherever you plan to get away from the corporation.

Yes, except some corporations are non-profit, and some are privately held, and not all have the same style irregardless. NOT all are nearly as reckless or brutal as others, in order to maximize profits. For a for profit corporation profits are always a priority, -but fore some companies, not the only one. Some corporations actualy do also have a strong social conscience, even if that dose always mean absolute maximum potential profits in the short term. Some do not. So, hardly are ALL for profit corporations the same or equal troublesome or good, -even if they do share much in common.

Yes, like the people that run them, -some are actualy a lot nicer or meaner than others.

Even among the wealthy corporate elite, people are still human not godlike, and despite the "membership in a club" they have of sorts, -they are still individuals each of whom is diferant. -Emil.

Just as an aside maximizing profitablility is generally not a real corporate goal. You may hear words but the real goals of a corporation are much more complex and may involve doing well by mankind.

There may be relatively rare occasions when a management team goes for max profits...but that is a short term goal...it is virtually guaranteed to destroy the place.

Corporations are relatively complex entities. The real motivations are understood by few and likely not by anyone in the corporation.

Sure, Las Vegas is so unlivable, thats why over 2 million people live here. It sure would be nice if more than a few thousand moved out a month.
The OP is clueless about the liveability of Vegas as a whole. The OP seems to think that all life revolves around the strip, when only a small portion does.

AAPool guy, quit feeding the troll.

I think one thing is long term sustainability. What profit can actualy be sustained, and treating people at large with respect can be necessary at times (unfortunately not always) to acheave that. Unfortunately, greed is also very real and all too destructive on the whole. But that is a human problem and is by know means just a corporate thing. It started long before there was such a thing as a corporation.

I think it's not so much that the elite are actualy even so much less nice then others, -but just that they have so much power. Having too much power can blind many people to reality, and can make a lot of people with it become addicted to it, -often with quite destructive results. That depends on the person, though. But really most people still have good and bad in them at all levils of sociaty.
