    TI has the best blackjack on the strip as mentioned. 3/2 on all tables and usually a couple double decks and a single deck game. Venetian usually has one double deck $25/50 min. TI high limit usually has $50 double deck with little action.

    I love Vegas but every trip I feel like they come up with a new way to screw the player.

    I'm sorry you are confused. Work it out.

    You don't get rich by blowing cash on stupid stuff. I'm also a tall guy and need the leg room in a train. I don't want to be seated with the train population and feel like I'm on a city bus.

    Ellis Island has a mean steak and eggs as I remember. I only dine in the finest of cheap restaurants in Vegas. The expensive hotel buffets are mostly all horse shit.

    Are you still confused?

    I played in one tourney in Vegas, I think I took 3rd and that was the last time I played there. I got hammered on Scotch. I think it was at rampart or Suncoast. Good times.

    I'm blessed no doubt. Some days it feels like I know all the answers. Other days, not so much but that's ok.

    You should read John Rocker’s assessment of trains.

    If they aren't morons, then they have to be a casino "cooler" sent around.

    People say hotels were dirt cheap back in a day 80s even 90s it make sense if you gambling they will take your money anyway in a long run, why discourage potential visitors with high prices?

    Would love to do that with a few people.

    Went out there by myself last trip but it was going to be over $1000 for what I wanted to try, so decided to come back another time when I had someone else to enjoy it with.

    For what you get at a top Vegas hotel I think the prices are still cheap compared to most other major cities. LA is noticeably more expensive for lesser quality rooms.

    i n ever BJ because your have others taking hits and the card they took would get you 19 - 20 or 21 and here in east they have 6 deck shoes and cut away 1/4 of it which is insane like even a full table how many cards can go out most players hit only once and in that 1/4 cut how many aces and 10 j q k are lost

    rather play roulette at least win 35-1 or slot machines playing small with $10 in each and just get 1 huge hit and go home

    Why go to Vegas when you have bush at home and can bet online? Fools I say all of you!

    The racing and the different options they offer would be a blast. Its a short-term thrill, but I plan to do it next time there as well.

    JIBBBY, when was the last time you drove 100 miles away from your house? Last century? Never see you talk about going on vacations or spend any of the millions you have stacked in the bank.

    In a way I'm kind of happy because it's keeping me off the tables and that's all I play saved quite a bit by not playing during the Super Bowl. I honestly dropped a thousand bucks playing Free Bet Blackjack in about 15 minutes and two hotels went online to bookmaker.com and made twice it on Multi hands Blackjack go figure. I was actually sitting at a slot machine when I was down at Grand and said I'm going to do this and in 15 minutes I made it all back in the ground on top while everyone is gambling their balls off I was gambling mine online sitting at a slot machine at New York New York can't make this shit up do you guys think I should write a book on the title I'm thinking the degenerate King

    I used to go about half a dozen times just to play double deck Blackjack I like the thrill of counting and trying to get away with it and making my dollar last but just can't believe there's not one single table on the strip it's all those stupid penetrating machines. Sorry if any typos I'm texting on my shitty Galaxy speech to text

    I traveled the world and drove cars into the ground in my 20's, 30's and early 40's. Now in my 50's and I don't want to drive or fly anywhere unless I have too.

    That's just me though. I like my home and neighborhood and the beach. I'm content with just that these days until I finally move to Florida.

    Destin Florida, Panama City area. I have family in Alabama and Mississippi so upper Florida makes the best sense for me. I want to be able to drive to see them and not fly.

    I know people thought is was a dump but my last straw of Hating Las Vegas was when after reopening they closed and tore down my Fiesta Henderson.I loved it there they had a great little Sportsbook and nice little Mexican restaurant and fatburger. Now it will be some funpark!

    Las Vegas is about gouging and taking your $$. In the mid-90s, you could honestly get low-priced Vegas packages. They wanted to get you there, and they wanted you to come back.

    Now, it's gouging. Most things are overpriced in Vegas. Try to find me some deals, try to find me +EV games.
