THE BUZZ IN NEVADA
If, in November, Nevada residents vote to become the first state to
legalize the recreational use of marijuana, life there will never be the
same. The Tempo Department Overseeing the Sagebrush State anticipates these
developments:
- - Several Las Vegas casinos report huge revenue losses, blaming $6.95
all-you-can-eat buffets.
- - Hoover Dam II built to meet water and electrical demand as state's
population triples and agriculture becomes its second largest industry.
- - House's take at blackjack tables doubles as players lose track of which
cards have already been played and miscalculate their own hands.
- - Liberace Museum adds new exhibit: the rhinestone pianist's hookah collection.
- - Grateful Dead survivors open new theme park in Winnemuca.
- - Some casinos reap huge windfalls by adding pretty, swirling colors to
inside of roulette wheels.
- - Bill Clinton comes to town. Inhales.
- - Cheech & Chong take over the Siegfried & Roy act at the Mirage. From now
on, it's the animal trainers who levitate, not the tigers.
- - Nuclear Regulatory Commission unmasked as the force behind legalization
of the drug. Intention was to make everyone forget that the nation's atomic
waste is stored up the road.
