RE: [vpFREE] Re: Death of the Optimums? Fiesta's separate identity

I've heard the predictions of doom and gloom every year since I moved to Las
Vegas 9 years ago.

No, things are not the same.

No, VP again will not die this year.

It's pretty nasty of you to mock a perfectly valid apprehension. Would
you have, in similar fashion, sneered at someone who, for example, in
2001 said that four years from then, there would be no FPDW at the
Gold Coast or Orleans, which at that point had over 240 such machines?
Or that Stations would be giving comps on THEIR positive video poker
at the rate of .0416 ($24/point?) Or that 9/6 JOB would be all but
extinct on the Strip?

Actually, I'd be willing to bet that the above poster's prediction
will come true, maybe not that soon, but within a couple of years. And
whether or not it actually does come to pass, it's sure as hell
PLAUSIBLE!
