my family went to vegas in early september,and the tourism was great,but i did hear some people asking a guy their that was working at new york new york was it like that all the time and the guy said that vegas had been like a ghost town lately.when we were staying at the excalibur i was talking small talk to a very nice lady,and i asked her if she liked vegas, and did she live their?I also said that my mom was retiring from loris hospital if god would bless her,and let her last that long.she told me she loved vegas as far as how many things were to do,but she said that it was hard as hell to find a job.she also said she was getting close to her retirement but she was going to check and see if she should could afford her meds,and all her other exspences,and i told her that was the only reason my mom was working this long.i told her between my mom and dad they were paying a little bit over 600 a month ,and thats with my mom working and my dad having medicare.she said when she was going to retire she was going to colorado,and she was scared as hell to see what vegas was going to like in 5years.i told her i hate to see people lose what they had but in my mind i was thinking i dont want the reccesion to hurt my mom and dad but i did want the economy to get worse so the family could get a condo for 25,000. reason why i wrote this post was because my sister had called from england and said she heard from the news that the tropicana,golden nugget,and the flamingo were filing bankruptcy.i know unemployment is a little bit over 12 percent .i wish i knew what the value of real estate would be like in 5 years. iam just scared when unemployment gets worse so does the crime rate.
