some of the biggest wealth in the US is generated by path of progress land plays usually the farmer seller to the developer.but I will give you a few of my personal land plays.1. 3.5 acres Rohnert Park CA.. when I bought it in early 90s it was unbuildable.. but it sat behind a home depot and I took a calculated risk.. now its been annexed into the city and zoned mixed use residential and sites right next to the Graton casino they built a few years ago..

But some investors who came up from nothing are EXCITED about their history, and they love to talk about it in OPTIMISTIC, ENTHUSIASTIC terms.

I was looking for a part-time job, but it was too little money, I even thought about playing casino!

Just got too enthusiastic with this Oil stock topic!!

We have a comfortable life here, and when/if we move back to the states, We'd like to maintain it.Hi Tim-Yes, they're building 2 casinos here, a Sands with convention center on the main island just south of the central business district on reclaimed land, and another spearheaded by local Genting Goup on smaller Sentosa Island (sort of a resort/park/ golf development island linked by bridge and monorail) which will include a theme park.Funny thing is, Singapore has resisted having casinos for decades, afraid of turning into another vice-ridden Macao.

I have my ears peeled locally for a potential casino.

And, Donald Trump has plenty of properties in locations that were already great before he bought or developed--he has a golf course in Palos Verdes; oceanfront condos in Baja; a casino on the Vegas strip; a hotel on 5th Avenue, condos with Lake Michigan views in downtown Chicago, etc.

That is why casinos give people chips instead of letting them bet with cash.

Kirk dropped out of 8th grade, and now owns half of the casinos on the Las Vegas strip.

I´m not a member of this clubs but a enthusiast :).
