If a major corporation lays off people without pay but continually raises its room rates, don’t come to us with hat in hand. If you moved all your manufacturing jobs overseas because you could save a bundle, don’t come to us with hat in hand.

If you cram us into smaller and smaller seats, charge for carry-ons, extra bags and snacks and make a fortune during good times, don’t come to us hat in hand. If you are a Las Vegas casino and gouge us with all these extra fees, change payouts for casino games to near zero, charge $10 and up for drinks and gouge us on food and room rates, don’t come to us with hat in hand.

I’m sick of you grifters.

Harlan Stockman Las Vegas

To give perspective, the California Sierra was largely free of permanent snow 700 years ago, but then developed the glaciers that are retreating today.

LETTER: Those dastardly mosquitoes
Andy Windes Las Vegas

It’s been my pleasure to have lived in the Las Vegas Valley for 50 years. In all that time, I cannot recall ever once having been bitten by a mosquito. Until now.
