Las Vegas loses to… Pennsylvania?

Yep, it was bound to happen, but perhaps the bounds didn't have to be broken so fast. In the scheme of taxes collected from gaming revenue, in the fiscal year that ended on June 30, Pennsylvania has now beaten Las Vegas

by nearly 35 percent… $1.1 billion vs. $831 million. Even Indiana (which much of Chicago visits, primarily the Harrah's Horseshoe in Hammond, IN.) beat out our fine neon city at $878 million in tax revenue. Even in that economy, gambling is here to stay. It's just that tourists would rather stay in their backyard than visit Las Vegas.
