not sure if this is true ... Vegas has been SHATTERING

records attendance year after year and is one of the

fastest growing cities in America.

There was a debate on Fox news about this few months back, and it was said that the American gambling association which is the biggest industry lobby had opposed online gambling...but now they are in favor of regulating it instead after they hired a private consultant firm who did a study about the industry.

It was rather obvious to see... Before Internet gambling, the WSOP was like 1/1000th of what it is today. Online qualifiers for WSOP events has been the best thing that ever happened to Vegas in my opinion. Not only that, but alot of people who were never exposed to gambling in any real sense (maybe some home games with friends) were introduced to gambling online, and thus it instills the desire to actually go to a real casino to get the authentic experience.
Personally I think the gambling association screwed themselves on this one, but time will tell.
