Dotty's Tavern Controversy

There is a controversy over whether the Dotty's chain of slot parlors across Las Vegas should be forced to resemble traditional bars and taverns. Dotty's don't have bar stools or a physical bar but patrons can drink, smoke and play slots like at other establishments. Now, big gaming companies including Station Casinos and The Nevada Resort Association say its time for that to change. We discuss the controversy over Dotty's taverns.
