How's this, live in Vegas myself. Last sports bet placed in Nevada was in June 2004. Most people I know haven't been to a Strip casino this year. I go only because of poker and the fact that I don't mind the Strip. Almost sport around here to hate the Strip with a passion and crow about how you never go there.
Trust me on this one, when gambling is easily available, it loses its appeal very quickly. The guy who comes here once a year doesn't want to miss time at the tables while here. The local doesn't want to miss some show on TV and will get up from the tables without a regret.
