One of the reasons I'm posting this is to thank those that provided advise on city center. We went, the walking wasn't as bad as I expected. Pretty nice, but I'm more of a "downtown kinda guy". Mom enjoyed what may be her last trip. Vegas itself is not the problem...the hassle & stress of the flight & TSA is. She doesn't go thru x-ray cuz of ICD so wife & I went thru & were collecting our stuff...turned around & mom disappeared. Took some time to find her, they took her down to go thru the other machine which I undewrstand is an x-ray...go figure.
FOOD - Only thing we did other than ordinary buffets, etc. was Italian joint - Bocca DI Beppo (sp?). Great food, but placed in a room w/ about 35 party animals, mostly young males. The decibal level was about 120. We purchased a "discount" coupon at tickets place @ 4Q. Not a bargain. We saved just about what the c oupon gave us.
Entertainment - I pretty much turned in my man-card this trip. Besides walking around all the shopping establishments @ CC, I went to Menapause the musical. Ok, but alot funnier for those of the female breed. We had an hour to kill @ Luxor, so while women played on lousy paytable 5c VP, I played 1c, 1 hand on hundred play. The wife's machine pretty frequently, & mine once-in-a-while wud not change the HOLD card. It wasn't worth complaining about. I lost almost $3.
EDUCATION - I always learn something on these trips. I go to Dancers classes when I'm in town. This time bought Frank's book & met him. Good material in class, obviously more geared toward Vegas regulars. While @ South Point, playede my favorite game....25c DDB QQ. WOW, those that play the $1, 10 play QQ. Gotta hand it to ya...You got more money & balls than I do. The Volatility wud have to be outragous. I think playing the QQ was about the only losing sessions I had in my 4-day trip.
GAMBLING - Both women lost...I've got both of them playing VP, probably about 96 -97%. Still better than the slots they'd normally be playing. I had another good trip. First Royal @ Palms, 25C DDB. 1 10c royal @ Ellis on 10 play DDB QQ.
I also did pretty well playing @ my ole stand byes....Fremont JOB & 4Q bar 25c DDB & DB $1 progressive.
I get a kick otta folks I talk to bout VP when they find out what I'm doing. "Boy, I'm gonna go to the casino w/ U & play that instedda slots." I tell them fine, after U read the odd 14 books I've got & practise about a month on soft ware then u'd almost B ready.
This is probably full of typos, etc, frankly I'm paying more attention to NASCAR race than my typing....royals to all.
BTW, wshile @ Terribles, it looked like 9/6 JOB were being taken out. Don't know what was going in.
