Hiking trails with waterfalls, sandy beaches with fresh water to play in, miles of untouched shoreline in beautiful parks, oceans and razor clamming, skiing in winter, fishing, casinos, Seattle, a zillion wonderful micro-brewers, wineries  ... we would ski in the morning, drive down the mountain and take our dog to the beach on the river and play in the sun all afternoon.  

Let me put it to you this way, in Las Vegas you can chose to gamble on many different slot machines, all of which the casino keeps a percentage of every dollar poured into the machine. 

They are also building a casino development on the Mohawk River waterfront.  

Some people have taken their paychecks to the casino and hit it big. 

Saying your tenant is paying the interest on your mortgage is like saying you can gamble at the casino when you’re ahead because you’re playing with the houses money.

There is an ever growing hospital, another stable hospital, casino, aviation business, manafacturing facilities... you name it.

I believe I have a better 'approach' than this "buy -n- hold" mentality that remains almost entirely beholden to whims of a highly controlled and regulated "casino play..." just like the rest of their "what goes UP, must come down, roller coaster" games.

Hi Walter,Asking a more specific question might give you a better answer.Such as high end rentals, market rate rentals, section-8 rentals, etc…As well as specifying a property class.For instance if you ask what’s a good Casino to stay at, I like staying at the Wynn, but others might like staying at the Budget Suites.Just asking what’s a good casino to stay at in Las Vegas without any other specifics, will get you a whole range of answers.Good Luck!

I'm having the same problem over here because of tip income (casino table games dealer) and being only a part-time employee.Hope it turned out well! 

Newer investors should restrict gambling to the casino and only use the money they can afford to lose, but older more seasoned investors can afford the risk.
