Wanzer should really explain more what he's talking about: <a href='http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/business/4387363.html' target='_blank'>http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/business/4387363.html</a>

Definitely a weird news item though. American Indians in the gambling business, buying the Hard Rock franchise for $1 billion... who'd have thought.
Does that include the Hard Rock cafes here in the country?

I'm willing to bet yeah, but I doubt there'll be any major changes at the moment. If there are any, I'd expect them to squeze a little bit of an American Indian theme in their restaurants, which is something I'm looking foward too.

Those American Indians make a buttload of money. The money they earn from their casinos is untaxed.

Well... dapat lang. I guess it's America's way of "paying them back."
I have a cousin in L.A. whose 2nd wife is a descendant of one of the native american (NATIVE AMERICAN. Let's stop calling them American Indians.
) tribes... every month, a large portion of the profits made from their casinos is equally divided among all recorded descendants of that particular tribe. So... the wife of my cousin receives a FEW THOUSAND dollars every month as her share. Last time I saw them, they had 3 kids... the kids are considered descendants too. And they also get their share... 
I'm jealous
