Adam, you live in a palace where the only industry is gambling. When economy dropped, so did gambling. People learned quickly how to live within their means, and gambling became a luxury most couldn't afford. Laughlin is the low end spectrum of gambling, a sad casino scene for the 70+ age group and $1.99 buffets. Next time but a house in a less speculative place.
