Kinda hard to globalize Las Vegas. You can't exactly use sweat shop labor in high dollar casinos, and other countries aren't going to let Americans open casinos in their country anyhow. As far Wynn, he is nothing more than a greedy crook and to me his opinions mean less than whale spit. On Tue,

Our whole economic system is broken. One of the perverse results of the current rule set is that very rich people, if they are patriotic, feel like they are being held hostage by the US government. Wynn is a gambling man's gambling man, so let's treat his situation as a game of high stakes poker.
