Time Flys When You Are Losing All Your Money

I was reading an article about Las Vegas when it said that the there is not one casino in Las Vegas that has a clock. I never thought of this being a possible solution to keep people there longer. I honestly thought that they would almost have to have a clock. I feel like it is against the law or something. It is a good strategy, and very creative, I just don’t know if I think that is right for them to do. I played online poker for fun this summer what seemed like every day. Almost every time I would lose track of time and spend hours upon hours of playing poker. I would be up till 3 in the morning most nights not realizing the time. Las Vegas is known to be built by the fortune of losers. It is crazy how many movies revolve around Las Vegas. It is ridiculous to think that this city’s fame and fortune was built on the loss of so many others. Las Vegas has even taken over so many television channels as well. On ESPN, there is poker, on the travel channel there are Vegas hotels, the food network there are specials on all the special restaurants in the billion dollar hotels. It seems to me like Las Vegas has a very successful way of tricking people into staying longer, and spending more, and I only see it getting worse in the future.
