He's a poker dealing former Chicagoan who has lived there for more than 25 years.<BR/><BR/>All he could recall is that the Federal government had shut down the Mustang Ranch (near Reno) for about a month until a buyer could be found. This was hot news in Las Vegas where brothel owners had been under claiming income for years, because of cash transactions.<BR/><BR/>This procedure also saved the girls tax money. They claim 100% of what they make on charge cards, which is about 70% of their business. Cash business is gravy. <BR/><BR/>He also said that the Casinos are getting tighter on tip claiming. "The days where you could make $100,000 and claim $25,000 are long gone"<BR/><BR/>The Beach BumThe Beach Bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459921418291067269noreply@blogger.com
