This would just further destroy Vegas. I hope it never happens.

MGM Players: ' Keep those CET people outta my hotel!'

CET Players: 'You mean we can't get free rooms anymore?'

There is no way regulators would allow this without them selling off some properties, especially in Vegas. The only positive for me is if Cherokee was an MLife property. But I hope it does not happen.

I agree that there’s no way this will happen.... at least I hope not

Doubt it would get thru regulatory without some huge conditions, like sell off 30-40% of Vegas properties Probably need to get rid of at least one in AC too. I think it would be bad for the payers with one company having so much concentration.

No way will that happen too much of a monopoly imho

Hi Folks:


I posted this article on the 5th. In addition to everything discussed here -- when this kind of an offer is made -- MGM will get a chance to see the books in detail. Yes, if there is a deal -- likely MGM would have to sell some of the casinos -- but their are lots of buyers out there! It's a strong time to sell for a week company:

Occasionally, I put these articles out. I had this out 4 hours after the NY times story broke.

Hey Treyster -- it has been a long time. I must go through the archives and pull out a few pictures!

Good to be back!

Hey All:

I thought this would be a good time to compile some old Meet and Greets. I'll start with this Meet and Greet.

Players Life isn't around and more but you may know some of these people like Rambler, WickedCL, BT Vend (SDGuy) and Evoni and you may find yourself in here!

Thanks for the video. Omg I saw a glimpse of the original Clue in it, I sure miss that game.

It is amazing how many people like it. The game took several years to develop. They put out a game that was so good -- but when a jackpot was just won -- would sit at the machine to win such a small amount. We liked the game -- but is was just an okay reception. Belagio seemed to hold it longer than most!

Take care Clemi!
