Although Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy, hotels and casino businesses of his have declared bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009 due to its inability to meet required payments and to re-negotiate debt with banks, owners of stock and bonds and various small businesses (unsecured creditors)."

And being told I had access to “all the casinos amenities...” as a benefit. 

I use a Sony Cyber-shot.($120 bucks at Best Buy) Definitely not pro gear, but it suits my needs just fine.

I have a similar background Mike w/a BS in Hotel Admin from UNLV and an MBA from NY, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd avoid the Hospitality Industry - even though while in it working in a front of the house well tipped position w/a decent hourly wage in Vegas and Reno Mega Resort Casinos, I surely didn't need any degree in Hotel/hospitality.

Any thought about extending it to the end of Cyber Monday?

The casino in the town call the shots.

Yup....California is certainly a casino.

I'm a credit executive in the casino industry.
