gamble and gawk.

My niece works for one of the casino hotels and she tells me that the tourists that come here often say that they wouldn't believe the damage if they hadn't seen it for themselves.

They agree that the media has done a piss poor job of reporting our destruction.

Three casinos are open in Biloxi, all three are never in need of customers and the hotels that are not filled by construction/recovery agencies are filled with tourists.

Mr. Richter needs to appreciate the tourist draw we have. I know it sounds ghoulish, but whatever brings in the money that helps the economy and keeps my taxes for my lot down, the better off I am.
