Hey, doesn't Vegas have something like 200,000 hotel rooms? And that convention center must sleep something like 100,000. Here's the deal--take the $10.5 billion dollars that FEMA is asking for over the next 20 days (that's right, 500 million per day), and take over Vegas for all the people in NO, AL and MS for 30 days. That's about $10,000 per person, and they should have quite a bit left over to use in the slot machines.

Seriously, what is FEMA doing with $500M per day? All they have to show for it so far is one helicopter dropping MREs on the Superdome and hairspray for FEMA Head Michael Brown. This would be a total joke if it wasn't so tragic.
