Jeff, I've seen the Ten Plays in Quarters, but don't remember where. It wasn't something I was gonna play! <S> You better have a strong stomach if your gonna play them at the quarter level. I also don't think the bill excepters take thousand dollar bills yet either? <S> When ever I was sick in Vegas, it was my own doing......I got to remember to "just say NO" to free drinks! LOL I am glad Sandy rebounded so well. It could have been the trip from H#LL for her. Sniff the seat....I don't think so Jeff! In hind sight, I'm just glad I sat in #1 and not #2.....if you know what I mean. VV aint the cleanest place to start with! I don't know if getting friendly with the LV bartenders is a good thing. I know I've gone through some pain from the relationship! URG! Thanks for the reply, the next TR will be much shorter. With all the TalkVegas People out for this one, I'm sure I won't remember that much! ------------------ Lee-PA Moderator, What's New Forum lee@talkvegas.com

Hey Michael, United out of Harrisburg was a mistake. I took the flight on a neighbors recomendation, and was so sorry. I've been checking the airfares and they are up out of Harrisburg for February, so we might just give National airlines a shot out of Philly. Either that or burn some frequent flyer miles. Well, you know it's about as good as a buffet can get Michael, but remember, it's still a buffet. Summerlin is real nice and all, but you still are basicly eating steamtable food that others have picked over. This is the best buffet I've ever eaten, but I'd still prefur to be served a meal, even at a coffee shop. (which isn't open yet at summerlin BTW) I'm looking forward to OCT! Thanks for reading my TR book! LOL ------------------ Lee-PA Moderator, What's New Forum lee@talkvegas.com

Hi Lee,
Maybe Sandy ended up with the same thing that I got on the last day of my trip. It started as a sore, scratchy throat and then one heck of a cough. It's not as bad now but I went thru a lot of Nyquil. Seems like a lot of people ended up with similar things, my mother and sister and an aunt out in Santa Cruz.
It seems like I never have as much fun as you, ie: Laughing Jackalope, and now the seat cushion. Maybe I'll have to bring one of those football stadium seat cushions for you, just in case, on our next trip.
I'm glad that I bought my tickets when I did, because right now the same flight that I paid $259 for would cost almost 3 times more if I wanted to bring a friend along. But in any case, I'll see you next week. I'm working on a possible job interview while I'm there. So who knows where I'll be for Y2K.

Geez, all of this and you are so lucky to be going back in a few weeks again!
Enjoyed your report - however, I learned my lesson at all those less than famous eating places in the lesser than famous casinos!
After ruining my whole trip by eating the cheap shrimp at Nevada Landing, I make sure I play in casinos where I can get excellent food comps only - none of this grab a hot dog here or a cheap shrimp cocktail there for me anymore!
Sounds as though you're satisfied with Hertz at Harrah's, however, did you know that you could have gotten a car such as a Mitis. Eclipse from Alamo for $125 for 8 days including EVERYTHING - tax, etc.??? Why not check them out next time.
The other reason I no longer frequent smaller places such as Wild West, VV, Jokers Wild, etc. is because of what happened to Sandy at VV at the roulette table. Most likely, as you probably figured, the pit boss and/or dealer are in on it trying to rip off some unsuspecting non-local.
I feel ALL casinos should require all their employees to attend happy school at least twice per year. It would make for a much happier and healthier casino experience for all.
I guess we'll never know about the diamond bracelet at the DI, huh??
From what I remember now, at least during the past few years, Hawaiians make up a major portion of the clientele in The Cal and they seem to filter on down to MSS and The Fremont - since the food comps are connected.
While I think it's wonderful that you mention locations of particular "hot" machines, please keep in mind that it is very possible that, since this board has become popular, casino personnel may be lurking, and, then, of course, these machines may be pulled.
Again, thanks for the enjoyable report. Looking forward to your next trip!
Good Luck!

Layne, I hope the Job interview works out in Vegas! Then you can make all the meets. Plus you'll become even more knoledgable on Vegas and have more posts and we'll all benifit from it! LOL (I know wishful thinking) I'll bet if you do move out there, you won't have time for us anymore! [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] Sick on vacation stinks, no doubt about it. As for excitment, I'd like a little less on my next adventure....er...Las Vegas trip! <S> Thanks for taking the time to read my TR, I know it takes some time to read! ------------------ Lee-PA Moderator, What's New Forum lee@talkvegas.com

MJ in NY, Thanks for reading my report, I see you read it, like there was going to be a test! <VBG> Your 100% correct about they way VV handled my sisters rip-off. I feel they knew. Also 100% correct about the lower casino's too, but for some strange reason, I'm drawn to them. I keep thinking maybe I'll find a jem in the rough! (not likely I know) I do get tired of the crowds though, and find as I age, I want less and less of the crowds. It's one of the reasons I think Paris didn't make a big hit with us. I've had trouble with alamooo before (more then one time) I know a great many people like the place, even some of the moderators here. But I've tried them a few times and never been happy. Hertz works for me, and If I'd pick up at the airport (I know Alamo's not at the airport it's off site, but it's out of the way) I'd have to rent an extra day also, plus returning at Harrah's is easy 24 hrs a day. So I'm gonna stick with what works for me. Atleast for the next 2 trips. But thanks for the advise just the same. Sue got the braclet. California, Fremont, MSS do have a lot of Hawians all the time, but that night it was 3 deep at the bars (all the bars) and a very young crowd. While always a polite group, I jsut didn't feel like fighting the mod for a beer. Next trip.....10 days and counting! ------------------ Lee-PA Moderator, What's New Forum lee@talkvegas.com
