Default Casinos by air?

What I dont understand is only the Indians can have Casino's.

"Casinos" is plural. "Casino's" is possessive.

The reason Indians are the only ones that can have casinos is that
usually, in the juisdiction involved, gambling is illegal. The Indians
however can carve out what is essentially a separate nation, with their
own laws. They don't have to obey ours. So, they can have casnios.

There's more to it, but that's the essence.

There's also poetic justice.

And the opportunity for some to skim a lot of money.

ink.net...
Shreveport Downtown airport is less than a mile from the riverboats in
Shreveport, LA. No shuttle service but a cabride for a mile cant be more
than 10 bux (well it can, but I digress). I've never done downtown,
always went to the big airport and stayed with family out there.


Actually, it's about 2 miles from DTN to the middle of the US-79 bridge over
the Red River... There are a couple of casinos within a block or two of the
bridge, IIRC... The other casinos are located south of the I-20 bridge and
as such are around 3.5 to 4 miles away... I've walked from DTN to downtown
before (didn't have a cell phone and no pay phone was around the airport)...
It was night and some of the areas that you walk through, it probably is in
your best interest to pay attention to your surroundings... Shreveport has
kind of gone downhill over the last 30 years... Probably like a lot of inner
cities, I guess...

Anyway, for those of you who enjoy gambling, there is now yet another
reason to come visit us!

(An aside. This area is really becoming quite amazing. In a single
day, you can see Amish on horse and buggies, . .


Yeah - but can you bet on them?

Hmmm...I don't see why not?

Of course, the Amish won't acknowledge your existence, they all pay
with cash, and they don't gamble -- but that doesn't mean the rest of
us couldn't bet on 'em?
