Comment: Here we go again! Let's make the casinos richer off the youth of America! I don't see how this will help the community: All I can see it that it will cause more under age drinking, leading to more drunk drivers and more deaths. Let the casinos lower their room rates, have specials for the off and holiday seasons to attract the tourists and give the employees pay raises. This is the sure way to bump up the economy.

Comment: No! Las Vegas is internationally known as an adult playground. Millions of adults come here to escape there teenagers.



NAME: Lorna


Comment: I don't think its a good idea to allow them to gamble just to bring the economy and business back to the casinos. You are putting them more in danger. Just remember -- nobody wins except the casino.



NAME: Jay


Comment: I love how people try to fix problems with half-witted solutions. I work in a casino and we already have enough problems dealing with under-aged people trying to gamble on machines. I really don't want to deal with an underage gambler who lost all their lunch money for the week in a slot machine!



NAME: Bob


Comment: No -- no teen gambling. There are other solutions to raise money, such as a state lottery.
