I really do not like the idea of having someone telling me that I
cannot drink around the clock while I am in a casino.
Granted I am not driving, but let the do gooders take care of themselves
and let me drink in a casino. The worst that can happen to me in a
controlled environment is not find the elevator to my room. Larry

I think that would be a bad ideas an "across the
board/state" law. Areas where tourists stay or drink should not be under
such restrictions, also it should be a community decision. As a regular
visitor to Vegas I think that Vegas's "non-stop go" attitude is part of
its charm/lure. Furthermore, after most visitors to Vegas have been out
drinking til all hours of the night they either walk back to their room,
or more importantly catch a cab or limo, which means revenue!

There is a small percentage of people that abuse drinking
in the USA. To take away this privilege from all of us smacks on social
engineering. Lets go back to the Prohibition Days of yesteryear. The law
was there in all its glory did it stop drinking? The answer is a matter of
record it was repealed in the 1930s. This will result in the same if the
law is inacted. Laws are for honest people and that low percentage of
drunks will find ways to satisfy their thirst. Nick Cignetti

wow this is a loaded question, because I am a non drinker
something like that would never affect me. But on the other hand my
boyfriend loves his beer and you try to tell him that not okay good luck.
mind you my other half doesn't drink and drive so. And if every one was
like this no one would even think about this rule. So in other words
people be more responsible and no one would try to take your car and keys
away. Diane Pearce Burnaby B.C Canada
Prohibition didn't work the first time and it won't work
again. Las Vegas is the Sin City and drinking will always be a part of
that. Drinking and driving is a crime and perhaps an increased presence of
specialty enforcement with the power to apprehend drunk drivers and seize
vehicles might be a deterrant - especially if there were a very high
visual presence and publicity involved. Or, the local bars and gaming
establishments should be responsible for alcohol monitoring/control.

No way! As visitors to Las Vegas (we go there at least 4
times a year), we want to be able to let down our hair, party and have a
good time. We take taxis or walk everywhere. Like most visitors to this
city. Do not let the conservative, do-gooders take over! This is a party
town and needs to remain as such. Jeanine Coghlan Post

This isn't the roaring 20's during proabition. How can they even
consider to ban serving alcohol. Its getting to extream these days. Groups
getting together and coming up with ridiulous alternatives backed by
lawyers looking to get a name for themselves. Vegas is a party town thats
a fact. If no booze is being served there the tumbleweeds will return. get
a life and think before you act to those thinking of cutting off serving
alcohol. Especially in Vegas. Ralph Hamden, CT
Which 24 hour period will alcohol serving be stopped? Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed,
Thurs, Fri, or Sat? donald marburger rockwall, texas
I think the serving of alcohol should be limited and
should not be served at night at all because alcohol is not only dangerous
to your health, but also it is very dangerous if you are driving. It puts
many lives in jeopardy when you are driving. Also,I hope they limit the
serving of free alcoholic drinks while gambling because customers are
there to play and have fun--not to get drunk.cDrink water instead! Bottom
line alcoholic drinks are Very Very Bad For Your Health. Ann

People come to Las Vegas because it is a city that never
sleeps. why in the world would the city want to lose their revenue from
all of the tourists that come to town for that reason? Not very smart! If
the citizens of Las Vegas don;t like where they live than they should move
to a city that does sleep at night and isn't referred to as Sin City!

When you have 24-hr service, some people depend on the
availability. If you restrict service to the normal happy hour to closing,
(4p-2am) people will adjust by drinking more in the shorter hours. I think
there are better ways to control intoxication than restricting service. Of
course the dedicated drunk will just buy a bottle, to get him through the
dark time. The liquor industry needs to counter-propose some adequate
controls, technology, procedures, licensing. Can't shut it down, fix it.

I don't think it should change. I'm not a drinker but it's
nice to know that when I'm in Vegas should I want one at sometime, whether
it's morning noon or night, all I have to do is ask for one. To me and I'm
sure to thousands of others the whole point of visiting Las Vegas (besides
the gambling) is to let loose meet new people and drink and party from sun
up to sun down - just a great time in the city that never sleeps! I love
Las Vegas - Please Don't Change a Thing! Lynda Peake Ann
