While I agree with the sentiment, Las Vegas' Aladdin Casino isn't
Congress.  The Casino has every right to hire whoever they wish to
hire to perform there, based on any guidelines.  (Of course, we, the
potential patrons, have a right to choose or to choose not to do
business with them as a result.)

Thankfully, the ownership is changing hands, and it looks like at
least one of the new owners is upset Ronstadt was 'banned'.  So she
might be hired to perform there again.
