    There are no hotels in Vegas without a casino. Even Denny's has slot machines.

    Then it's doomed. People go to Vegas for one reason and it ain't the food or the fancy room. Those are just the cherry on top.

    I'm planning on going but haven't made reservations yet. I've been once before. It was the Luke Babbitt, Armon Johnson, and John Wall year. Good times. I missed some games though because the tables called. Overall, it was a fun experience because there are NBA people everywhere. It's fun to rub elbows with them.

    It's named Trump so it's probably doomed for more reasons than the casino's.

    Trump can't get a gambling license in Nevada. Not after the fiasco in Atlantic City.

    Now isn't that kind of telling? Not even the Mafia trusts the guy.

    I have submitted a request to all NBA teams for a chance at summer league and although I have only received a few letters back and a couple have requested more information. Here is an example of one of the more encouraging requests:

    "Who the fuck do you think you are".

    It is exciting to know that they want more information on me.

    I remember the first time going to Reno and slot machines were in pretty much any location as they had slot machines in stores like most states have bubble gum machines. If you hadn't lost enough money yet, you can always gamble in the airport before you catch your flight in Vegas or Reno.

    I forgot to mention the airport.

    I remember going to some sort of lower/medium priced restaurant, and there was a slot machine within my near reach when we got seated at the table. I dunno, it might have been Dennys, which, by the way, is a restaurant I typically avoid like the plague, but hey, it was my dad leading me in there. What could I say?

    I will be there for the whole thing. It's a great time. Also Vegas has a lot more to offer than just gambling. It's a shame it'll be 110 all day. I'm hoping the blazers make some draft day trades and we have a team worth watching. I doubt Collins or Swanigan will be back. Fat chance of getting back to the championship game unless we get some young talent on the team.

    Swanigan will likely be there as well as Baldwin. I can even see Collins getting some limited run as well.

    I agree and I think Collins will definitely be there. We should be very competitive. It' our chance at a Summer League Championship!
