Idea to Lower Gambling Age in Nevada Appears Dead
It looks like any proposal to lower Nevada's gambling age is dead. The top Democrats in the legislature say they oppose lowering the gambling age from 21 to 18, and an aide says Gov. Jim Gibbons wouldn't support it.

Anyone who would consider this is STUPID! We have enough problems in this community that we dont need to add addicted teenage gamblers to the mix! Not to mention how controlling the drinking age would be much more difficult if teenagers were allowed to hang out in casinos and gamble. If anything they should raise the age NOT lower it!!!!! Beside the rest of us had to be 21 so should they!!!!
