If they're going to shut something down, better a casino than anywhere else.

Was just coming here to say it: And nothing of value was lost.
Your opinion is valid, however I'm currently on a plane heading there, likely a third of the passengers won't be able to check into their hotel. Same with dozens of planes. Kinda sucks for them.
I live in Vegas and it also sucks for all the local MGM employees that are getting called in to have to deal it. That said, I hope things get figured out and your trip goes well!
I'll be fine, thanks. The context from allenrb is that casinos have no value to society, so that eliminating them (and therefore all the related jobs) is not a loss to anyone. That includes the employees you are referring to in your comment, and without much regard for the people heading there for a vacation.
That will suck for sure. Hopefully they’ll be handing out some form of compensatory goodies to make up for it a bit.
