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.

Also, once sports betting is legally accessible online (admittedly probably 10-15 years away but is coming), that rising tide will lift all boats and Nevada will easily recoup whatever minor losses it takes when its monopoly expires.
