No comment about Trina Donovan.
I personally recommend Michael Black. All of your needs will be met or exceeded during your stay.
Michelle Rebar and Mimi Morse (both executive hosts from the "original" Treasure Island under Steve Wynn) are indeed gone; Michelle retired a few years ago, Mimi moved to ARIA when it opened.

[vpFREE] Re: London
there is no video poker in england.
well, there is, but not as we understand the term. you will find something called video poker in amusement arcades, along with fruit machines and nudge machines. there's even one or two in an arcade at heathrow airport.
but they don't offer 4,000 coin royals and, most importantly, they don't deliver a random draw.
if you're interested in seeing one of these and happen to be in the west end theatre district, there's an arcade on the strand that has a few VP machines.

You can use Winpoker for this by choosing the Deuces Deluxe game and adjusting the paytable for Triple Deuces.
A Bob Dancer article covered this and also addresses the question about a five of a kind with one deuce: http://www.casinogaming.com/columnists/dancer/072803.html

The last three bonus deuces machines, along with rest of their bank of machines were MIA today. Take-down rumors abound.

Many call those (8853, for example) 'quick trips'.

I am thinking that if you have gotten these gifts because of your play, you do not need a bankroll. Donate them to charity, perhaps you can get a tax write off.

Q: OK, now that you mentioned Summerlin (in QoD 2/5/2011),
what´s up with "The Lakes," NV, which seems to be an
official post-office designation, yet isn't it really just
Las Vegas? CitiBank credit card bills have been addressed
"The Lakes, NV" for decades.

[vpFREE] Re: 9-6 JOB QQ
Nudge, I think you are misreading the Wizard's line 13. He does say hold one pair with a kicker but as the examples show, he means along with the pair, hold two cards which together could result in a QQ. The term kicker as he is using it is a little misleading, since we usually think of it as being one card. The hands where a single card kicker is held are covered in line 22.

Recently, I spotted a single machine in a casino where this is their best return game. They donât even offer 9-6 JOB on any of their other games, but with slot club bennies, I might be able to justify limited play. I located strategy files that I had saved in the pewter a couple years ago, and started to bone up on what changes to make to the standard game. While comparing the Dancer/Richards strategy with the one from Mr. Shackelfod at the Wizard of Odds, I noticed a major discrepancy between the two. The Dancer/Richards chart does not recommend holding a kicker with QQ potential with a single pair of 6âs thru 10âs but the strategy provided by the Wizard does say to hold one, as long as it is not half value. I can only assume that one of these strategies is right and one is wrong. I have no tools to determine which is right. I am hoping that someone my have run into this before and has researched the answer and can provide it here. Thanks in advance.

Re: [vpFREE] VP In London
I have visited casinos in London a few times, though not in the last few years. Unless things have changed drastically, don't waste your time looking for VP in London. Spend the extra time at the Victoria & Albert or the London Museum instead!
When I last attempted to play in a London Casino, the places were operated like private clubs. You were required to apply for membership (at least 24 hours before you wished
to enter the casino) and if you were given membership, you were allowed to play, after
paying a fee. The casinos only offered American BJ, French Roulette (no double zero),
with fairly high minimum stakes, and a few European games with which we were not familiar. There were NO machines, not even slot machines!
London is FABULOUS! Have a fantantic trip!
