Rod Smith's INSIDE GAMING column

  ...IT'S EVERYWHERE. Entertainment, that is. Its omnipresence makes it abundantly clear Las Vegas is about a lot more than gaming these days, and Steve Freiss' recent freelance piece in Newsweek underscores the point. Lee Greenwood singing "God Bless the USA" at Buffalo Bill's in Primm, Hootie & the Blowfish screaming up a storm at Silverton, the Lettermen at Suncoast and Foreigner at Texas Station. Voices from the past, perhaps, but headliners for these value properties.

Who'da thunk it a decade ago -- or more?
