People have to actually show up to play.

It is actually cheaper to fly and stay in Las Vegas, than it is for me to go to Atlantic City, and I'm on the southern east coast. In my last trip to vegas, talking to cab drivers, they tell me that it has been very busy lately. I stood in-line to check-in at the MGM grand for nearly 45 minutes, it was crazy buzy, and I arrived on a Monday, thinking Monday - Thurs would be less busy, I'd hate to see the Friday crowds.
