Don't be so sure. If online poker goes away, how much will that hurt the local economy come WSOP time (year round, really, but let's just look at the WSOP)? With a fraction of the number of players playing in the Main Event, less people in town for those 6 weeks, a far less successful trade show, etc, etc... Online poker is good for Vegas.
It's your attitude (not you specifically, but everyone who has the "no point in voting" attitude) that got us in this mess in the first place. I'm semi-confident that if every American was FORCED to vote on this topic, online gambling would be legal... The problem is, many of the people for it are too lazy to voice their opinion, while so many of the people against it are not.
