Ghoolie Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 On 5/15/2018 at 11:44 AM, The Gipper said: Yesterday the United States Supreme Court struck down a 1992 Federal law that prevented gambling on sports anywhere but Nevada, which was grandfathered in. This legal battle had been going on for years, led by New Jersey who had wanted to allow sports gaming in their casinos for years now, but were prohibited from doing so. I heard reports that within 5 years, at least 32 states will start allowing gambling on sports. There are all kinds of questions about how this new status will turn out, how it will be regulated (either locally with each state, or federally...which the sports leagues would prefer). I do not know what will happen in Ohio.....but I suspect that before long, you will be able to go to the Rocksino, the JACK casinos downtown and at Thistledown, and wager on most any sporting even you can. Another factor that the leagues will now argue about it is that the games are their "intellectual property" and that casinos around the country cannot profit off of their "property" without the leagues getting some cut of the action. So, there you go boys and girls, you will not have to just go to Vegas/Reno/Tahoe to wager on NFL games, NBA, MLB etc. Or college sports. https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2018/05/15/the-5-biggest-winners-and-one-loser-in-the-supreme-court-sports-gambling-decision/#65b9131b1af0 This won't have any impact on Las Vegas since most of the actual oddsmakers and first chance at inside leaks happens there.

It is only legal in certain counties...and only if it takes place withing a legal brothel. It is NOT legal in all counties, even in a brothel....including Clark Co.....where Las Vegas is. Nor is it legal in the county in which Reno or Lake Tahoe are. But it is legal in the county of the state capital: Carson City. But, if in fact, the ho business may not be doing all that well.....in 4 counties where it is eligible to have a legal brothel, none exist. See the map: it has to be 60 miles from amy city with a population of 100000 people or more. And for Millennials, clubs.

When you will have 100% sports gaming throughout the United States coupled with table games at casinos and racetracks? It will impact on Vegas which has been shifting over to a convention destination anyway. And the old mob always went where the money was, bootlegging, horseracing, "the bug", sports betting, drugs, whatever. The federal and state governments are getting into as much legal taxable gambling as they can the result will be big time watered down gambling almost everywhere you go now. And what politicans got "whacked" by the mob, really now they used to fight each other but kill civilians......very rare if at all. I remember a lot of connected guys way back, they ran clubs and put on festivals and parades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Brookings..... https://www.brookings.edu/research/banking-regulations-create-mess-for-marijuana-industry-banks-and-law-enforcement/ ........ As background, the federal government has been very clear about bank requirements. Banks are allowed to work with marijuana businesses, as long as they file reports and comply with a heavy set of regulations. Treasury Department guidance states that banks are still required to file suspicious activity reports even in states where marijuana-related activity has been legalized. Nationally, more than 360 banks and credit unions work with marijuana-related businesses, filing more than 2,000 suspicious activity reports a month — a figure that’s doubled in the past year...... Initially it was a big problem and stores did not know what to do with all the cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean....they don't mind this so called immorality as long as it takes place in the country? Is that why so many of those brothels have gone under?

Under Nevada state law, any county with a population under 700,000, as of the last decennial census,[21] is allowed to license brothels if it so chooses.[8] Incorporated towns and cities in counties that allow prostitution may regulate the trade further or prohibit it altogether. Currently seven out of Nevada's 16 counties have active brothels (these are all rural counties). As of February 2018 there are 21 legal brothels..... It's up to the individual municipalities.

I guess that they may be within 40 miles of Reno. But, that begs the question: Why did the state law prohibit it in Clark Co. (that could violate the Equal Protection and the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution).....and why would Reno not allow it in town....if they are eligible to have then there?

What I wonder is this: Are there places in Nevada that are One Stop Shops to fulfill all of your vices: Where you can drink, gamble..including on sports, buy and consume marijuana and fornicate all in the same operation? (all legal in Nevada) I only ask out of curiosity...and for potential investment purposes. Right now I only drink moderately (I really do not like the feeling of getting wasted), I never smoke anything and have no desire to. I only flutter a bit at the casinos. (on the one or 3 days a year I do go I put myself on like a strict 25-50 dollar budget)....and with my health conditions fornication is not a functioning part of my regimen.

I just did a tour of the city with what was our 3rd time going there. I noticed this time (april 2017) rates for hotels were WAY higher than before.

They're already moving into what you're describing of tailoring more to the "luxury" of Vegas as opposed to the gambling. I'm not going to make up numbers, but this has been proven to be true over the past several years where profits from gambling have markedly gone down, while profit from rooms/food/booze have gone up.

I have no doubt this decision was in part the reason they did it. I own a timeshare, (in Las Vegas) and as part of my timeshare exchange program they also allow you to buy "Getaways"...these are just non traded weeks available for purchase. And the prices for these weeks to purchase have gone up a lot. What I think is happening is there there is a concerted, collusive effort by the Vegas hotel etc. groups to raise the prices there, at least of their higher end properties. I am actually contemplating flying into Vegas.. in October.....but only staying out there one night coming and one night leaving. You used to be able to get a decent hotel for that purpose for as low as 35-40 per night. Now they cost as much as a low cost hotel anywhere else, in other words....65-70 per night and Up. Even Motel 6 and Howard Johnson's want like 90=95 per night. The well known places on The Strip are wanting like over $200+ per night. My timeshare is right on the strip there. Even they want like $165 a night....from the general public. I don't know if I could get a discount because I am an owner for a one night stay. I could check. On the other hand, I have a good friend of mine from high school who now lives in Vegas, so, if I stay there, my cost per night would be -0-....or at minimum whatever gift I would get this person for allowing me to stay.
