Viva Las Vegas

Let's get this straight...Information about surveillance of banks and financial buildings from 3-4 years ago...Raise the alert level.

Survelliance of casino 7 to 8 years ago...keep it hush hush...

When the Justice Department obtained two videos suggesting terrorists had cased Las Vegas casinos, the discussions didn't center on public alerts or heightened security. Rather, authorities worried about the effects on tourism and the casinos' legal liabilities, internal memos show.

The credibility gap continues to widen...

BTW-I have been in Las Vegas during national orange alerts. Interestingly enough, entrances to Excalibur and Luxor have been blocked off and there is a huge police presence. I always wondered why the increased security seemed to be isolated to so few hotels. Now I know, but I doubt the statement that no one knew.
