Games Done Quick recently started doing in-person events again and was going to do so for AGDQ 2023, but had to go back to online-only because of Florida's anti-LGBTQ and anti-COVID-protection policies. Unfortunately afaik it's GDQ that's taken the brunt of the damage because the cost of cancelling the hotel contract would be too much so they couldn't just relocate

oh yeah, there will still be some this year, but i think alot of cons i have seen are just dropping florida now for the future.

Trump has a hotel in Las Vegas. Not on the Strip because he couldn't get the financing, so it's around the corner. And there's no casino because the gaming commission wouldn't let him have one, so it's not even a resort. This hasn't stopped him from declaring otherwise since it was built almost twenty years ago. He's also insisted that he's building another tower for about as long. Also, there's literally nothing inside worth mentioning other than the distinct Trump aesthetic. He couldn't even get a D-list Food Network chef to open a place unlike literally every other property on the Strip so he just has a restaurant called DJT. This is all amusing to me.

LOL I actually had to look this up

quote:

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas is a sophisticated, non-smoking and non-gaming, luxury hotel situated high above the Las Vegas Strip.

Yeah who the hell wants to smoke and gamble when they go to Vegas? I bet the bar sucks too.

quote:

But in February 2016, Donald Trump announced that he and Ruffin were planning build a $100 million casino on the pad previously reserved for Tower Two. In today’s market, $100 million isn’t very much to spend on a casino, especially on the Strip. (Mere renovations to the Tropicana cost over $200 million.) Also, Eric Trump put the onus on Ruffin to move forward with the project, telling the Wall Street Journal that if the Kansas-born mogul took the initiative, "We would certainly do it. [He is] one of our closest friends. We're almost inseparable.”

The plan called for the casino to occupy four acres next to Tower One and would have been half-owned by Trump, who of course has gone on to bigger and better things. But it never proceeded beyond the announcement stage; in fact, it went down the memory hole almost as soon as it saw the light of day.

We stayed in the only non-smoking place on the strip (Park MGM), and it was a great choice. Stale smoke trapped in carpet for decades makes me want to retch

There are some smoke-free hotels and casinos on the Strip which is good business when you're one of the few. But Trump is doing it because he can barely hang onto a liquor license, much less comply with the smoking laws in Nevada.

That's because it's at the north end of the Strip around the corner from the Fasion Show Mall on Desert Inn Road. It also tried to copy the gold window look of Mandalay Bay but of course did a poo poo job with it.

Wynn and Trump eventually became friends after their initial feuds. Wynn isn't a very good person either.

Phil Ruffin used to hold Trump rallies on his properties like Treasure Island but even he smartened up which is why the latest chud gathering was far from both the Strip and Downtown.

When I was 17 I had a really bad case of gastroenteritis or something similar. Doctors weren't sure bud I was bed ridden for a week and it took a full 3 weeks or more to recover.

I don't want to go into too much disgusting detail but after everything I ate coming back up through my mouth for a week and not having a solid dump for the next two? Yeah, I really noticed a difference.

Cool, nothing wrong with lobbying for a guy to be sent home and executed.

Also Phil Ruffin basically paid Donnie's $25 million fine for the Trump University scam, what a country.

Yeah, people like Wynn and Ruffin are kind of a cross between the mob Vegas of yesterday and the corporate Vegas of today. They also own some of the only properties on the Strip that don't belong to either Caesars Entertainment or MGM Resorts.

Not saying that he should be executed, but Guo Wengui is also a deeply, deeply bad guy. He had deep ties to the Chinese state security apparatus, and used those connections to make money in real estate. He fled to the US after his backers there were purged following the fall of former security boss Zhou Yongkang. It's unlikely that Guo himself doesn't have blood on his hands.

Also while in the US he founded "government-in-exile," and issued his own worthless cryptocurrency. He mostly targeted low-info overseas Chinese. He already has half-a-billion dollar fraud settlement and is now arrested for a separate $1 billion-plus fraud.

And he palled around with Manafort and Bannon, and started a media network indoctrinating overseas Chinese in far-right ideology.

I know he’s not likely to ever be sentenced to jail time, but he’s got the Boxes Hoak, charges in Georgia for election interference, possibly some more of those coming up in Arizona, and I have to believe, some kind of charges from DOJ in relation to 1/6.

Take about the weight of the world, with more coming down soon.

He is terrified, and the thought of him having to live with this, and the thought of his cult having to live with this, is enough of a LOL.

And this will continue via the court system, for the rest of his life. He will never spend another day, as long as he lives, without living with the knowledge that he has more impending court dates and trials than he has days left in his life.

That’s got to be worth something, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

The Feds may also bring charges regarding classified documents in New Jersey due to activity at his Bedford place.

That said, Trump has been in the court system his entire adult life for one thing or the other. Rather than being terrified, I assume it's his natural element and he likes it there.
I wish I could believe he didn't sleep well at night knowing how much trouble he could be in, but I doubt it.
