IF YER SNOOZIN' YER LOSIN'?

SNOOZIN' AND LOSIN'

A Brief Commentary

By

David A. Archer

I was born and grew up in Nevada.

I suppose I have a different perspective on this than do most people.

In the long and short of it, unless a person is referring to their establishment being sparsley populated, if people spent more time snoozin' in Nevada, statistically they would spend allot less time losin'.

I hear people say snoozin' and losin' and it conjures imagery of the throngs and hordes of people milling around at all hours of the day and night inside of structures presenting atmospheres where a person cannot even tell the time of day. In so many words, wandering around casino after casino at all hours of the day.

In no uncertain terms, if those people were in their rooms snoozin', they most certainly would not be losing to the degree which is quite common in regard to such institutions and service industry areas.

In a brief consideration of statistics from the Las Vegas area pertaining to 2005, a person can easily see how simple it is to debunk the social myth of and around the term snoozin' and losin'.

SNOOZIN' AND LOSIN' STATISTICAL BRIEF

It isn't the people asleep in their hotel rooms that generate the gambling revenues which, of course, immediately indicate substantial gaming loss from somewhere constituting losin' in regard to said considerations.

Though it is also a very common belief that everyone breaks even when leaving a casino, it can be established beyond question, that it is not the people in their rooms asleep from where those gaming revenues arise. Again, regardless of where the mysterious revenues actually come from... it can be surmised that those snoozin' are not actually the ones losin'.
