mesquite nevada the word boycott is being thrown about among some of you. this after caesars joined mgm in charging for parking. okay las vegas locals. let's have the new year's resolution and boycott mgm and boycott caesars palace. that's my new year's resolution. don't patronize their property 'cause they're charging locals for parking. 14 joyce says the casinos

rethink what they're doing. as a local, i always brought my visitors to the strip and park at the linq. this will no longer happen. i'll take my visitors to other casinos where they'll spend all their money elsewhere. the last group of callers have somethign to say about u-p-s, the nascar victory parade, and minimum wage and you might be surprised who is far south of a liveable wage. keep talking about keeping your packages safe and having them delivered to either a neighbor that's home or make sure that you're home when it's delivered. but ups doesn't even kn drop the package at the door. i was home all day long, i got up to go to the store and almost tripped over a package, i didn't even know they came. okay so we shut down the las vegas strip on spring mountain and las vegas boulevard so these nascars can come out here and do donuts on the roads that us taxpayers pay for. and there's no benefit for us. what sense does that make?

between $10-$15 an hour. i'm a pharmacy technician and i went to school and walgreens starts you at $9 an hour with a degree, with a certificate. this is ridiculous. people need to understand that you can't live off $7 an hour. but starting off for a technician or anybody coming out of a tech school, it's ridiculously low. and even for people working at fast food or 7/11 jobs, which are dangerous for them. please give people a break everybody needs to live in societ send us your rants to the rant at fox5vegas.com or call at 702-436- 8285 trump: "i want to thank all the
