That's preposterous. You're suggesting that #1, an overwhelmingly enormous percentage of Nevada visitors are ONLY coming there to sports bet and #2, they are going to collectively stop coming to Nevada if able to bet in NJ, or Delaware, or wherever. Neither is true. Have Ontario and Quebec residents stopped coming because they can sports bet through their lotteries?

Monopolists are always for the sanctity of their monopoly.. I get it. You'd howl though if similar conditions existed that nullified your ability to open a restaurant somewhere you wanted.
