Okay, so a few days ago, Obama said this: “You don't blow a bunch of cash in Vegas when you're trying to save for college.” Some people clucked, conservatives laughed that Obama was bad mouthing a city in a state where his Senate Majority leader was already in trouble and so on.
But you know what? Obama was basically right.
Vegas is just about the worst place to spend your money. Because really most of what you do is just hand it over. You are hoping to make a profit, but of course you never do against the house. So you walk away with your pockets emptier and what did you get out of it?
