Hey hey to all the new faces and vintage members of the community

Subject line says it all!
I'll be walking the trade show floor next week and staying at the STRAT for a few days.

A bit of business. A bit of play.
You know all the usual Vegas bits

Cheers

This is a very poorly thought out acronym for this organisation.

National Indian Gaming Association

You'd think in 2021 they would actually drop "Indian" from their title, since they are not from India - and the Indian/Asian population has grown quite a bit in the last few decades in the States.

Unfortunately, there is still a travel ban to the States for non-US passport holders. So probably not many folks are going to be showing up from here.

National Indigenous People's Gaming Association is a much better title and acronym. NIPGA

 

[johnnymcc1966]

National Native American Gaming Association even?

 

[Casinomeister]

How do you pronounce that acronym?
NNAGA

There's still room for the obvious 'National Indian Governmental Gaming Association'

I instantly saw the same thing as @johnnymcc1966 so why not make it more pronounced
