In 2008 I sat like an idiot in the Hilton Racebook and watched the first four races from CD with no ability to wager. It wasn't the fault of the Hilton, the Las Vegas Simulcasting Co. was down. Sort of the same thing.

I was at the Orleans that year dealing with the exact same issue, the problem was rolling though the said. We missed races 4-8 if I remember correctly.
