"The Meadows"
In late 90s Dallas - Fort Worth had 44,000 hotel rooms and New York City boasted 63,000. Las Vegas blew them both away: it had 101,000 with over 50,000 more in the works. And that year over 30 million people who came to Las Vegas stayed an average of 3.7 days. 87% of them gambled seriously.
On the average they played four hours a day, leaving an average of $ 580.90 behind in the machines and on the tables. They were part of the blooming of the American Republic that only numbers can get to : Since 71, Wayne Newton has performed more than 25,000 Vegas shows.
From 1974 to 1994, the amount of money Americans wagered nationally rose 2,800%. The ascension of Las Vegas and the conquering hero of the wide-scale legalised gambling aren't the only parts of this blooming. In 1975, the federal government legalised state lotteries, and now 38 states gross about 35billion a year in profits.
They prime this pump with over half a billion dollars in ads and constitute one of Madison Avenue's biggest clients. But lest I proceed futher with this 'awesome' post, let me give you the odds in the world of chance: Betting the favourite at the track two to one against you; hitting at most slot machines is twenty to one; and if you are crazy about roulette, you have one chance in thirty-five. New York, that pale, crappy copy of New York-New York, recently offered, some years ago,a 45million lottery jackpot with odds at a tasty 12.9million to one.
Naturally, such possibilities attract losers. In Massachusetts the rich folks in Lincoln splurge on $ 30 in lottery tickets per capita. The poor in Chelsea plunge with 915 per capita. Considering the savage odds, calling a state lottery ''gambling'' is like calling group suicide to hook up with a spaceship ''a transportation plan'' Las Vegas which means 'the meadows', meanwhile squats in a hot dusty desert, beckoning!
So, and meanwhile, let me spin you off to Gary Primm's Primadonna casino on the California-Nevada line, and all those cameras in the ceiling often bag a helluva a show. Family fun is the newest wiggle in Las Vegas gambling, the last niche to goose the numbers. In 1994, 6 percent of the players brought their brats. Advertising raised this to 8 percent in 95, and 11 percent in 96.
With this kind of numbers, tragedies abound. After one such tragedy, the spokesman for Mirage, plumbed the depths of murder and concluded: ''This is a tragic lesson in how sick and depraved society is becoming. You can't let kids go in a shopping mall or at a Flyers game.''
So be right back on the morrow for this great narration. And on the state of affairs, let me thank and honour all students of the world. The stats are rising like a Tidal Wave! I now understand the time tested adage: That real beauty flows from the spirit within.
So your only real hope for the future, is to create your own future! With these thoughts, we wish the world students a great weekend!
Good night And God Bless!
