    JA is one of the classiest guys in city. Glad to see he is still doing very well. Deserves everything he gets. If you are a known patron at Wynn you can get down pretty big limits in book at some of the better numbers in city because of him. Wynn and board rightfully trust him to earn a nice YoY return for them. He does it without taking shortcuts in staff and service.

    And JJ , you don't give up the pay he makes per year. Trust me on this. Your buddy fishhead will tell you JA is good man.

    Not if you're sharp. He's a good guy, but most of his staff sucks.

    Griiter the only people that can bet big there are square tourists ..no guys beting good numbers will get big limits

    Now they do take bigger limits than places like Treasure Island, Stratosphere, Aliante though

    Solid book

    Like I said, nice guy who will take big limits from known players (established Wynn table/slot/poker players). Number and steam chasers get limited just like anywhere else.

    Do you really want to spend time in Strat jj? Aliante is a hike. If anything from your 3 books, bet at TI and watch game at Wynn. Much better scene.

    Wynn takes decent size bets. TI is a joke they will get scared of a 1k NFL moneyline, or $500 on college hoops. Max for NBA series bet was $300 lol

    I always go to MGM and place my wagers never had a reason to go anywhere else myself. I should state that I have always stated at MGM or Monte Carlo however.

    That's generous 10k should accommodate 95 percent of the betting public.
