That's a question for ordsprog

That's a question for the commissioner. But I don't think this incident hurts our chances of getting a team. Las Vegas is synonymous with legal gaming.

Robert Walker (1918-1951)

I don't know what the slippery slope would be. We have allowed for legal gaming companies, including casinos, including state lotteries, to participate as team and track sponsors for a number of years now, and it's worked for us. I believe we're the only major professional sport that has an event in Las Vegas, but we also have an event at other tracks that offer legal gaming as well, including Dover. And it's worked for our sport.

Las Vegas has never been hotter, which shows in the gaming numbers through the end of the year. The casinos had record revenues of nearly $1 billion a month in gaming win, which is the best the state has ever seen.

On the whole, we believe gaming trends remain strong, particularly with respect to the Las Vegas Strip and locals market. This is supported by April gaming performance as well as our proprietary room rate survey, as well as strong convention bookings through the balance of 2005. Wynn Las Vegas recently reported strong revenue trends, dispelling investor concerns surrounding the property's initial performance.

And the fact is, that can affect the gaming industry more than other sectors. Gaming is one group the threat of terrorism can really hurt. General Electric will still be going if there's another attack, but Las Vegas would be affected as if it were a hurricane like Katrina.

It was a smart move on his part. It hurts us, no question. 'Spamalot' as an anchor would have been unbelievable for us. But it really remains to be seen if Vegas becomes a destination for musicals much beyond where it is now. We're watching with a great deal of interest.

We remain fans of the local Las Vegas gaming market, which we believe is the best risk-adjusted market in gaming today, and we can't fault the company for deploying capital in these markets.

Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world. Mr. Benson did write a message Sunday night to the commissioner expressing his concern about the incident that occurred following the game. It was an emotional and distressing situation and very unfortunate for him and his family. His comments to the commissioner relayed his frustration and at this time he has not yet made a decision on his plans for this weekend's game.

That hurts not only him as a player, it hurts us as a team. And it hurts me to see another guy go down, especially him with how well he's been playing and how hard he's worked. To see him go down late in the year, that hurts a lot.

There are a number of gaming operations that you can look at from North Las Vegas to Henderson to Clark County that are smaller operations that have substantial property resources. More importantly, they have a zoning classification that is for sale. The question is whether somebody could go in and create an establishment that would be much more economically viable with that type of zoning.

Following channel checks with the Las Vegas Strip operators over the last two weeks, we remain encouraged that the overall volume of high-end gaming play improved over last year. The MGM-Mirage properties and Caesars Palace appear to have played lucky for the holiday period while Wynn Las Vegas' hold may have been soft over the New Year's week, but should be normal for the quarter.

Vegas is still a question mark. We can't really know yet what Vegas is for us. I definitely think some of these shows may work, but I don't know that they all will.

Vegas is going to pick up, too, ... If you want to party, everything's there — restaurants, gaming.

I don't think there's any question Las Vegas will get a major-league professional sports team.

Those guys, I won't mention names, they needed Vegas because they didn't have a career on the outside. Michael is doing well everywhere, and the longer you hold off coming into Vegas with success on the exterior, the better off it is. He will stick, without question.
