Absolutely this was a wise decision, Bryan.
Given the gray area intentionally placed in the wording of the new law about "encouraging or facilitating the placing of bets", it's highly likely that a public figure such as yourself could be subject to arrest if you came back to Vegas or somewhere - so it's very smart to eliminate anything from your web site that could possibly get you in trouble.
My decision on how to handle the situation was similar; I disabled/censored advertisements for places that accept US customers, as well as any page (such as banking information) which could be considered to "encourage, promote or facilitate blah blah...", but these items are only disabled for US residents; other countries can see everything "uncensored".
As these sites create non-US operations, I will phase out the US-friendly sites and replace them with the non-US sites. It's certainly good to hear that many of them will come up with non-US replacements, because there are still a lot of good sites that are US-friendly.
Thank you for the informative update, Bryan.
