AFAIK, Boulder doesn't have any 9/6 JoB.

Nonsense! Most of the best plays in Vegas have nothing to do with 100%
video poker, but rather less-than-100% games plus slot club plus
promotions. I expect there to be good opportunities in Vegas for years
to come.

One of my Macy's card states: "This card expires 2 years from date of
last value added." That one was from Caesars. The other one is only a
$100 one I purchased with Holiday Gift Shoppe points from MGM/Mirage
and it doesn't have that line.
My Nordstrom and Sak's gift cards also don't say they expire.

By then end of this year there will not be any 100% video poker
machines left in vegas and advantage play will be history. By
slashing the comp rate the average player
will avoid these machines reducing the handle which will give the
casino the justification for removing them. This is the end :(
Now that it takes TWENTY-FOUR-
dollar on Optimums at Stations, do you suppose play at Optimums will
fall off? Does anyone think that this might signal the imminent demise
of the Optimums? Hard to believe that some bean-counter decided that
this point-slash was necessary--a dedicated professional, slamming the
Optimums at 1000 hands/hr playing FPDW, will earn $9.50 an hour, and
will now earn fifty cents in comps during that hour, instead of
$1...Stations management must be falling to their knees in thanks at
having such vigilant guardians to stave off all those advantage
players who would otherwise be raping the casino!!! (ahuck, ahuck)
The other question that arises is--now that Stations seems to be at
least tacitly acknowledging its blunder in destroying the Fiesta
brand's raison d'etre, does that mean it intends to turn the Fiesta
back into the Fiesta (or the Reserve back into the Reserve!!!), i.e.,
with lotsa fullpay VP and a decent slot club (not to mention a buffet
that serves food, unlike the present one)????? Or am I just dreaming?
Some people have had questions about my blog. It has taken the place of
Frugal Fridays since the first of the year.
To read it, you can go to the lasvegasadvisor.
"Frugal Vegas." Since I don't write every day, if you don't want to have to
go to the homepage to see if there is a new entry, you can "Subscribe" (now
on the left side of my blog page) and each new entry will come as an e-mail
to you as soon as I post it. Don't forget to send your verification post
when it comes to you after you have subscribed.
You can now add comments about my blog subjects and I welcome all polite
discussion. You don't have to agree with me and you can say you don't - but
the blog master will allow no nastiness!!! You can click on "Add Comments"
at the end of each blog entry, both on current entries and on past ones.
And you can e-mail me personally. However, I just don't have time to answer
every question people send me in a private e-mail, but I will try to cover
most of them eventually in future blog entries.
By the way, sometimes I am having trouble with the technical business of
posting my entries. Yesterday I accidentally sent out 5 copies of the same
entry. Sorry about that. I think that won't happen again. But computer
gremlins seem to love to torment me!

I'm not aware of an RV "dry camping" lot downtown, but I wouldn't mind
finding one that's in a "safe" area. Although I feel comfortable at the
MSS park, I might have some concerns if a dry camping lot was too far
away from the normal pathways of polite society. :-)
MSS RV park is a blacktop parking lot with RV hookups, a laundry
facility, and security patrol. It's not the Oasis, but it's close to
the casinos and frugal :-D

Well join the Laughin group. We usually take it easy on newcomers.
"Deuce Wild Freak" can mean alot of things. You can still play quarter FPDW
in the River Palms, Colorado Belle or Edgewater. Nickel or dime 12/8 Loose
Deuces is available at Golden Nugget. Maybe NSUD in dollars or above at
Harrahs, Aquarius or Riverside is for you?
A wild ride can be had in the Bally Gamemakers at the Pioneer with the Triple
Deuces...quarters to dollars. Try a draft of the Unibroue Brewery's
Maudite, a Belgian Strong Dark Style Ale made in the suburbs of Montreal served at
Sassy Sue's Saloon while playing the Triple Deuces. The game will be over
soon, one way or another.

I don't know if you seriously wanted to know, but the El Cortez is
giving away a small box of See's Candies if you have a coupon that is
sent to their players.
