    PHOF in Las Vegas has been REOPENED for 4 days now. Friday was $387. Saturday was almost busy with $810. Sunday was $523. MONDAY was the worst one day total since we opened, $171. We dipped under 200 once the first week we opened in 2006.

    Trying hard not to panic. The main factor at work here is the lingering effects of the MEXICAN BEER VIRUS. Many of our older customers remain hunkered in the bunker. Also the road out front has been reduced to 2 lanes with limited left turns Eastbound which slows traffic. This will continue for several more weeks and was not a surprise. Another BIG factor was protests in the streets resulting in a gas station in the 900 block of Tropicana being looted and burned.

    All our personnel are safe and warm (110 on Saturday). We are doing the same thing we were doing during the TOTAL SHUTDOWN, fine tuning the games on the floor, while getting new machines out of storage and working them thru for the opening on the Strip. Having big fun playing with our new RODENT CONTROL OFFICER, Porange Cat.

    Spent a part of the afternoon yesterday on the building site. Grading is underway. By the end of the week they should be placing forms to pour the foundation. The last of the iron fencing that was installed in the 70's was ripped down by a backhoe.

    There are exit doors in ALL 4 corners. Human size doors are hard to see in such a large wall. There are also 4 garage door size openings, one in each corner.
    While the Dewey Drive Extension is a legal road owned and maintained by the county, we so not have access to it because of a 3 foot strip of private land between our North property line and the edge of the road. While fire trucks are able to get to the rear of the property with ease, the fire department can not recognize this fact. We had to make an expensive change to the materials used in construction. NO FLAMMABLE ANYTHING can be installed. Walls are concrete, roof is steel. These were factored in during planning and included in the price that was locked in before we broke ground.
    If you look up to the top of the walls, you can see metal plates rimming the interior. This is where the roof is going to be. On the strip, they do not allow air conditioning units to protrude above the parapet walls. We have plans to install a ZOMBIE BIRDHOUSE on this huge hidden space. Flocks of evil pigeons will be sent to the Harley Davidson dealership next door to shit storm expensive bikes.
