  3. But I was told the days of government censorship were over. There was an Executive Order signed by Trump and everything.
  4. You just wait. Another red state in this legislative session will decide that if one airport can have his name, why not a second.
  5. He's still going:
  6. Reason #478 we are fond of Wynn/Encore. Upthread, I mentioned how we are going during the first weekend of March Madness. This trip we are not staying at either location, but at MGM. Shrugs. Wife booked it; it's where Tap Sports Bar is (and where we are going to watch games). I suggested to my wife about dining at Sinatra one evening, so she asked me to see about a reservation. There were no openings on the reservation website, so I thought I'd try the concierge desk. Told them who I was and asked if there were any possibility of getting a table on the night we were wanting; and sure enough, they had a spot for us at the time we wanted. I was asked if we still wanted our specific table, which was a surprise---the first time we dined there, we really enjoyed where they seated us, and in every subsequent visit to Sinatra we requested the same table. The concierge told me it was in the notes that we preferred this particular table, and going forward, anytime we made reservations at Sinatra, we would get that table unless we wanted something different. She also noted that we have a room reservation in July, and went ahead and booked us at Sinatra one evening. We are not high rollers by any stretch. I do not have a host. We might gamble, between the two of us, $200 or so in our 5 nights in Vegas. We do not stay in a suite when we stay at either Wynn or Encore. Yet, they are willing to make notation of where my wife and I enjoy sitting when we dine at one of their restaurants and put it in a file to put us at that specific table whenever we make a reservation. That's customer service.
  7. Problem with that is the highest bidder may not have pardon power.
  8. Someone gifted the WSJ article I posted earlier. Here it is. Notably missing is the name Stephen Miller, so I'm assuming he was a source of some, if not most, of this information. SPL
