yes i think every country should sue vegas casinos for allowing their citizens to gamble there and not pay (if) any taxes on it.
it is the same deal with online gambling it is not the online casinos fault that the american citizens come to gamble, if they are based out of another country they should not be touched. it is the american citizens that are the ones breaking the law.
you cannot have a foreign country trying to strongarm other countries companies out of business.
