Lots of businesses go bankrupt. Many of them just need a reorganization. A little time to hold off current debtors. As casino gambling expanded across the US in places like Central City and Blackhawk, Vegas seemed to benefit from these new competitors. People learned in Colorado and then wanted to experience Vegas. Atlantic City went the other way. Many of their casinos failed as more competitors opened in nearby states like Connecticut.

Interesting how all the former Democratic Presidents are endorsing Harris. W Bush did not endorse Trump, nor did former VP Cheney. I wonder why?
Then there are Republicans who are actually speaking at the DNC.
It won’t just be Democrats speaking at their convention in Chicago this week. Several Republicans have received key speaking spots.
While some of the biggest names among Republicans opposed to GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump have remained on the sidelines, others will be taking to the United Center stage this week to lay out the case for why they’re there – and why they think conservatives should join them in voting for Kamala Harris.
Two prominent speakers are from key battleground states: John Giles, the mayor of Mesa, Arizona, and Geoff Duncan, the former lieutenant governor of Georgia.
Duncan will have a “prominent” speaking slot on Wednesday night, according to a source familiar with the speech.
The source said his remarks will be “directed at Republicans who are sick and tired of making excuses for Donald Trump.”
He will be joined by Olivia Troye, a former Trump White House national security official who joined Harris for an event in Michigan a few days before Joe Biden dropped out of the race. Stephanie Grisham, who served as White House press secretary during the Trump administration, will also speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
CNN previously reported that former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger will speak on Thursday evening ahead of Harris. Both Duncan and Kinzinger are CNN contributors.
“I’ve been a Republican all my life. But since Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the 2020 election, the Republican Party has spiraled further and further into political extremism,” Giles said.
I can't imagine Trump doing this, leading the crowd to help someone in medical distress. Instead, I think he'd just watch and continue with his rambling speech.
Vice President and Democratic Nominee for President Kamala Harris directed the crowd and medical personnel when a rally attendee had a medical crisis in the middle of a speech in a dramatic moment.
This is during her speech:
And that is how we fulfilled the promise of America. The promise of America. And it is that promise of America–.
We need a medical assistant here. Okay. We need a nurse or we need a medic here, please.
Let’s just make a– let’s make a path. Let’s make a path. If y’all don’t mind, just let’s make a path to right here. Let’s just create a path. Right here. Let’s create a path, guys, and thanks for looking out each other. Look out for each other. But let’s let’s create a path for the medics.
Okay. Okay. Okay. We’re going to be okay. We’re going to be okay.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE).
All right. This is who we are, right? This is what we’re about. Looking out for each other. The thing–. We care about each other.
(CHEERS).
You know, it’s about truly understanding what love thy neighbor means. It’s about, in the face of a perfect stranger, seeing a neighbor, understanding what that love of each other means.
It’s a big difference between what we’re talking about and what’s on the other side.
Trump just this morning, walked away from his bulletproof barriers to comfort a fainting fan. (Or it was just an orchestrated campaign gimmick. Who knows?)

Yeah, he needed something to combat Harris's empathy, so I'll bet it was orchestrated.
And it's looking more and more like his ear ouchie was not really anything, unless he has superhuman healing powers. There's not even a scratch or a scab.
