Default Detroit Casinos may shutdown temporarily Oct1?!

Even though the mayor says they will stay open, a spokesman for the gaming commission said they'd be breaking the law. Luckily I'll be in Vegas early Oct. It looks like I may have to extend my stay!

After all of this time and 3 casinos (One of which I worked in when it was the IRS) they finally decide that they're illegal?

No why don't you read the article he linked to ... has nothing to do with being illegal.

Good question. I'm wondering if I can collect unemployment. I play downtown often enough ;-).

Apparently MGM will close for 2 days or so towards the end of the month to move into the new casino. I wonder if they know something the others don't?
