I think Wayne Newton is still there, I think the mob has been run out of town. Have you been to Vegas? Is the place as great as people say? |

I have been to Vegas a number of times and I am not a gambler. It is a fun place with a lot to do. Dont go in the summer though, it gets way too hot. That's what I've been told, there is a lot to do there. Must be 40-45 degrees in summer!! Like Melbourne and Canberra, suffering heat from the desert. Trump is everywhere!! Now the Bills. Sporting News Testimony about President Donald Trump's past business practices riveted political junkies Wednesday, but some sports fans seized on this bizarre nugget: Trump allegedly inflated his net worth by $4 billion in 2014, during the time he was bidding to buy the Buffalo Bills. Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, told a House committee the businessman claimed a net worth of $4.56 billion in a 2012 financial report, but claimed a net worth of $8.66 billion in 2013. That report contained an additional $4 billion line item labelled as "brand value." After questioning from a congressman, Cohen said Trump submitted those documents to a bank in a loan application to bid on the Bills. "These documents and others were provided to Deutsche Bank on one occasion in which I was with him in our attempt to obtain money so that we can put a bid on the Buffalo Bills," Cohen testified. “It was my experience that Mr. Trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed among the wealthiest people in Forbes,” Cohen testified, “and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes.” Inflating assets to secure a financial loan is classified as bank fraud. According to the Buffalo News, a conviction for that offense could lead to a fine of up to $1 million, a prison sentence of up to 30 years, or both. Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula eventually purchased the Bills for $1.4 billion in a deal approved by the NFL in October 2014. Cohen's statements on the issue (he also said "Mr. Trump is a cheat") raised eyebrows, but the allegations about trying to mislead a bank need some context. First, any bank is going to carefully parse a document like that before handing out a presumed nine-figure loan. That line item would undoubtedly raise questions. And the "brand value" likely refers to Trump's self-declared "name" value from his celebrity status as creator of "The Apprentice," and marketing his name through various other business ventures. That value would be hard to quantify, and estimates could vary widely. The White House did not respond to an inquiry from the Buffalo News for comment. However, earlier Wednesday, Trump tweeted his thoughts on Cohen, who pleaded guilty to eight felony charges last year and is set to begin a three-year prison term in May. "Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me (unfortunately)," the president said. "He had other clients also. He was just disbarred by the State Supreme Court for lying & fraud. He did bad things unrelated to Trump. He is lying in order to reduce his prison time." |

it is the loser capital of the world. LOL Las Vegas, officially the City of Las Vegas and often known simply as Vegas, is the 28th-most populated city in the United States, the most populated city in the state of Nevada, and the county seat of Clark County. Wikipedia It's no Buffalo!! |

no far from being Buffalo. You would not want to be in Buffalo during the winter, it is incredibly cold. Also Buffalo doesnt have as much to do as Vegas.

New York, Green Bay and Chicago would be freezing. Here's a bit of history - In National Football League (NFL) lore, the Freezer Bowl was the 1981 American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game between the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. The game, won by the Bengals, 27–7, was played in the coldest temperature in NFL history in terms of wind chill. (The coldest in terms of air temperature was the Ice Bowl.) Air temperature was −9 °F (−22.8 °C), but the wind chill, factoring in a sustained wind of 27 miles per hour (43 km/h), was −37 °F or −38.3 °C (calculated as −59 °F or −50.6 °C using the now outdated wind chill formula in place at the time). The game was played on January 10, 1982 at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium, and televised by NBC, with announcers Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen. Wikipedia |

Green Bay would be by far the coldest, followed by either Buffalo or Minnesota. Vegas can get cold but nothing like them.

yes been to Canada a bunch of times, great place, great people. I am sure there are a lot of places in Canada that get a lot colder than Green Bay. It is further north. The entire country isnt always covered in snow all winter but the majority of it probably is. Have you ever seen snow?
