Casino City Times reported that Las Vegas City Council members received more than $80,000 in contributions from casino operators in 2006, according to a conservative estimate based on campaign finance reports.

Mayor Oscar Goodman led the pack with $42,000 in casino donations. About half, $20,000, came in the form of two $10,000 contributions from Boyd Gaming Corp., which owns three downtown casinos. Goodman logged $10,000 from Boyd on Oct. 13 and $10,000 from the Boyd-owned California on the same day.

Council member Gary Reese reported $35,000 in contributions from casinos. Station Casinos, Boyd subsidiary Coast Casinos, El Cortez and Four Queens were among the contributors. Council member Lois Tarkanian received $5,000, a contribution from Station Casinos she reported in January.

Council members Steve Ross, Steven Wolfson and Larry Brown didn't report any casino money in 2006.

Of course, in today's Las Vegas that has been "cleaned up" since the good old days, if a bag of cash ever fell on an office floor, I'm sure it would be spent, I mean, reported immediately.
