@jccarcamo Common sense is often lost in the shuffle. Great advice JC.

Promotions don’t fail because of lack of creativity. They fail because the people executing them weren’t given clarity, authority, or a clear sense of why. Your staff is your brand. Treat them like your primary marketing channel. #CasinoMarketing #CasinoBranding #BrandStrategy

@TuckerCarlson I love the “outlaw spirit tempered by decency”. RIP Mr. Carlson.

Obituary for my father. Richard Warner Carlson died at 84 on March 24, 2025 at home in Boca Grande, Florida after six weeks of illness. He refused all painkillers to the end and left this world with dignity and clarity, holding the hands of his children with his dogs at his feet. He was born February 10, 1941 at Massachusetts General Hospital to a 15-year-old Swedish-speaking girl and placed in the Home for Little Wanderers in Boston, where he developed rickets from malnutrition. His legs were bent for the rest of his life. After years in foster homes, he was placed with the Carlson family in Norwood, Mass. His adoptive father, a tannery manager, died when he was 12 and he stopped attending school regularly. At 17, he was jailed for car theft, thrown out of high school for the second time, and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 1962, in search of adventure, he drove to California. He spent a year as a merchant seaman on the SS Washington Bear, transporting cargo to ports in the Orient, and then became a reporter. Over the next decade, he was a copy boy at the LA Times, a wire service reporter for UPI and an investigative reporter and anchor for ABC News, covering the upheaval of the period. He knew virtually every compelling figure of the time, including Jim Jones, Patty Hearst, Eric Hoffer, Jerry Garcia, as well as Mafia leaders and members of the Manson Family. In 1965, he was badly injured reporting from the Watts riots in Los Angeles. By 1975, he was married with two small boys, when his wife departed for Europe and didn’t return. He threw himself into raising his boys, whom he often brought with him on reporting trips. At home, he educated them during three-hour dinners on topics that ranged from the French Revolution to Bolshevik Russia, PG Wodehouse, the history of the American Indian and, always, the eternal and unchanging nature of people. He was a free thinker and a compulsive book reader, including at red lights. He left a library of thousands of books, most dog-eared and filled with marginalia. His reading and life experiences convinced him that God is real. He had an outlaw spirit tempered by decency. In 1979, he married the love of his life, Patricia Swanson. They were together for 44 years, all of them happy. She died sixteen months before he did and he mourned her every day. In 1985, he moved to Washington to work for the Reagan Administration. He spent five years as the director of the Voice of America, and then moved to the Seychelles as the US ambassador. In 1992, he became the CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and later ran a division of King World television. The last 25 years of his life were spent in work whose details were never completely clear to his family, but that was clearly interesting. He worked in dozens of countries and breakaway republics around the world, and was involved in countless intrigues. He knew a number of colorful national leaders, including Rafic Hariri of Lebanon, Aslan Abashidze of Adjara, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, and whomever runs Somaliland. He was a fundamentally nonjudgmental person who was impossible to shock, and he described them all with amused affection. He spoke to his sons every day and had lunch with them once a week for thirty years at the Metropolitan Club in Washington, always prefaced by a dice game. Throughout his life he fervently loved dogs. Richard W. Carlson is survived by his sons, Tucker and Buckley, his beloved daughter-in-law Susie, and five grandchildren. He was the toughest human being anyone in his family ever knew, and also the kindest and most loyal. RIP.

What should we do to these people?

@IvankaNews_ Who doesn’t! No brainer.

2023 was a record year for U.S. gaming, driven primarily by slot performance, as is typically the case. When it comes to dissecting trends among top-performing games, there are none better than Brendan Moore, dir. of slot performance and analytics at EKG. ggbnews.com/article/featur…

@JoeBiden who's paying for that forgiveness, Joe? American citizens who work for a living.

When I took office, there were 7,000 people who had their loans forgiven through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Thanks to our reforms, nearly 800,000 people have had their debt forgiven. This relief is life-changing for individuals and for their families.

When former MGM executive Scott Sibella pled guilty last week to money laundering charges, the Las Vegas casino business was shocked. Is this the industry’s dirty little secret? ggbnews.com/article/sibell…

This makes me so angry. Very frustrating.

Good work Google (none of these are legal in Colorado)

I learned a long time ago that 60 Minutes is not even close to fair & accurate. They show 1 view. Sad. Sounds like most of the "media" these days.

🚨 Update regarding Event 22: There was an error displaying conflicting start times of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for Flights 1A and 1B. To address this, #BorgataPoker will honor BOTH starting flight times and expand the number of flights for Event 22 to 4.
