“International travel is way down. People are not coming to the United States. We have a rather large market with the Canadians. It’s gone from, you know, a faucet to a drip. Same thing in Mexico. We have number of very high rollers that come in from Mexico that aren’t so keen on coming in right now. Also, the economy is constricting, and people are a little more wary of spending their disposable dollars when there’s tremendous uncertainty in the economy.”
