LAS VEGAS – As reported by Bloodhorse: "Issues related to the loss of tax dollars from Internet wagering will come into focus when state legislators from across the country meet in Las Vegas to focus on public policy questions related to Internet, casino, and other forms of gaming. The occasion will be the 2004 Winter Meeting of the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) at Harrah's Las Vegas on the January 9-11 weekend.

"…`The NCLGS Las Vegas meeting will afford legislators responsible for gaming policy a forum to discuss and take concerted action on Internet wagering and other gaming issues.'…"
