It really doesn't help your argument ( if you actually had one to make). Yes... these rooms were seriously $450 last year. How do I know? Because we checked last year and went with a different room. The former $450 (now $85 room) was one of the nicer suites with a huge hot tub, walk-in sauna, large flat screen TV... the whole nine yards. If you don't believe me, then that's your call. I could really care less. Make what you want of it. Yes- the gambling business is hurting badly. More observations I made was that last year, you almost had to run down the cocktail waitresses if you wanted a drink ( not that I actually buy their watered down swill) But this time they were practically begging us to get something. I also noticed that there were far fewer card tables in general. 2 or 3 of the older casinos were shut down entirely. That and the buffets ran all day long versus last time where they were only open at certain hours while being closed between meals. Anon,

Where is your sense of humour? He can’t wait to begin shopping with his “unprofessional realtor”.

Lol - <b>begin</b> shopping? Looks like SV shopper isn't an accurate tag for you. Perhaps you should change it back to real estater. Your stupidity comes through in your posts making it transparent anyway. “I can’t wait until Spring to come to begin house shopping.”

What’s the point of house shopping? You are going to lose bids again – like this incident, this incident and this incident. Or did you just change your “professional realtor with Coldwell Banker“?
