It's great to be in the gambling business. Will it ever slow down? Is it a generational thing?

the interesting thing to me is that the WORSE the economy gets......the better the casino business gets....I think poeple feel like they don't have anything left...so they scrape together a few bucks and come to Vegas to parlay it into a new house......
