I was in construction. We did specialty work ;chemical and cement pressure grouting for cut off curtains and soil stabilization as well as lifting settled things. Did bentonite slurry walls ,too.Was always around the big stuff doing what we did.

We also did erosion control work using 4x8 limestone in gabions...which were loaded a lot by Gradealls.



And I spread dolomite for better soil health.

Las Vegas being affected more now than in any previous recession. Casino stocks are taking a hard hit.

Las Vegas Sands down almost 70% off from 52 week high
MGM Mirage down 70%
Boyd Gaming down 73%
Pinnacle Entertainment down 62%
Riviera Holdings down 73%
Trump Entertainment Resorts down 83%
Wynn Resorts down 45%
