I don't gamble much either. But I do like craps a little. I assure you I can do math . It is just for fun. I rarely lose much money playing it.

Poker is fun too.

I go every year for the first weekend of March Madness. It’s a blast! I’m up about $500 in my BetMGM app, but it’s the only thing I gamble on. I love pool parties too!

I honestly don't understand why anybody likes anything about Vegas. How is that place still standing? Why does anybody go there?

It's a lot of fun for all age groups, college is self explanatory, but even with young kids it's been good. We fly in there often (crazy cheap flights) stay one night then rent a car for big trips to all the Utah national parks.

Compare that to New Orleans - that's a horrible city to take young kids. We did one night there before a cruise but I sure as hell won't do that again. Even walking around at noon is sketchy.

I believe the past argument had something to do with 2 more teams taking a share of the TV revenue. Not sure if that is still the case.

I know it’s pretty much here nor there but wouldn’t adding two teams also add tv revenue? Not sure a completely agree with that stance though I think you are correct that is what the reverse point was.

I can see going for a convention to see new stuff.

The food was fine. But there's no shortage of good food in Oregon or Seattle.

I was mildly interested the first day or so. Completely bored or underwhelmed the rest of the time.

It's too hot. Too flat. Too square. I don't get it. I just don't get it.

This reminds me of a grandma I met in Utah. Lived her whole life in a one stoplight small town. Told me all about the cool places to go if I drove right as there was great hiking, camping, mountains. I was slowly passing through in a month long road trip from Oregon to Texas. It was a very beautiful area.

I asked her what was instead off to the left as the map showed it was about 100 miles to another town. She said she'd never gone that direction.

Myself, @JfizzleBlazer @Chris Craig and bunch others on here really need to organize a forum Vegas trip.

@Phatguysrule you'll be coming with us.

Eventually...potentially. But the current deal is already signed, so it's an immediate loss on that income. Though I imagine teams will clear a nice chunk in the expansion fees to help with some of that

That's the best reason I've heard yet.

I am in Vegas a couple times a year but I only fuck with the strip for food. Went to UNLV, have family there and if you can get past the desert of it all, it's a nice enough city. I did have my years in my 20s where it was fun when friends came into town to be down on the strip but those days are long gone.

I do see the appeal for anyone who has never lived there for a prolonged period of time. If I was never a local and didn't have family time to consider, it would be a nice vacation spot.
