It would be nice if you could start your own topic regarding "white only" stuffs and tell everyone that Tonto and Geronimo were your babysitters. People wonder why you avoided talking about Obama or the "black" people and where they came from.

This way some people who knows something about Drawings/Promos may share their knowledge on this topic.

If you are from Canada, you may have a good chance of winning one of these Colossal Coin drawings. Just make sure you bring your birth certificate and not just adopted by Angelina Jolie from Alaska.

There was an ad in today's newspaper, so I guess this South Point gas card promo is open to everyone.

According to what has been posted here, you can redeem $25 in points for a $50 gas card. Points must be earned in April and there is a limit of ten per person for the month. They may have the complete rules on their website in a few days.

Hi Gang:
Hedy and I are back from our six-night odyssey to Reno and Las Vegas
feeling both exhilarated and exhausted but glad that we were able to take
advantage of all the two Nevada gambling Meccas have to offer.
It all began last Tuesday with an eight-hour travel day from Newark through
Denver (three-hour layover) and then on to Reno, where we checked into
Harrah's for our Seven Stars Level 1 Signature Experience trip.
The offer included free airfare, limo transportation, accommodations in the
Presidential suite, Spa treatments for Hedy and me, a $500 dinner in the
hotel's Steakhouse and a champagne brunch the next morning served in our
suite.
The suite had two huge bedrooms, three bathrooms, a bar area, dining
room/living room combo and flat screen TV's all over the place. It was older but
probably the most spacious suite we've ever been in.
A buddy of ours from AC, Effen Dolts, was in town using his Experience trip
and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner in the Steakhouse with him the first
night. The Spa treatments included manicures and pedicures for Hedy and me, a
facial for Hedy and a massage for me. The brunch was decadent (shrimp/crab
cocktail, cheese and fruit platters, various pastries and a main course of
eggs any style and filet mignon) and again Effen joined us for a delicious
meal.
After our stay at Harrah's, we moved to the Atlantis where we checked into
another suite, the likes of which we've never seen before. This
ultra-modern one had a pool table, fireplace, a Jacuzzi tub in the bedroom which could
easily accommodate six to eight people, two 60-inch flat-screen TV's and
beautiful, decorative lamps and furniture. It also featured a telescope
which could be used to check out the snow-covered mountain range through the
floor-to-ceiling windows. The huge shower stall in the bathroom had six
shower heads coming from every direction and the double sinks had gold inlay
adornments.
After Reno, we flew to Vegas for a three-night stay at South Point, and had
the opportunity to see the new Celine Dion show at Caesars Palace. The
show was one of the best we've ever seen. Unlike her last show, which was
more of a lavish production, this one concentrated on her incredible voice and
she was definitely at the top of her game. She sang a wide variety of
songs, including a tribute to Michael Jackson and some James Bond theme songs,
and she knocked every one out of the park. If you get a chance to see this
show, don't hesitate to go. She is a true diva!
We also hooked up with our good buddies, Pete and Mary Lou Remaley from
Kentucky, at the SP, and had great fun sharing a couple of meals with them.
On the gambling side, Reno was not kind to us ( we were especially unlucky
playing many 99%+ games at the Atlantis) but had a little better luck at
the South Point. I hit a 1K royal on Day One playing Super Times Pay and Hedy
had a good run playing 50-play nickels (NSU and DDB) one afternoon. But we
still found ourselves down several thousand dollars heading into the final
morning.
We don't usually play after we collect our cash back the final day of a
trip but we decided to give it a try this time ... and we're awfully glad we
did. Hedy decided to play some triple-line DB and I sat down at a slant top
nearby to play some $1 NSU. I hadn't gotten deuces all trip and was hoping
to nail them one time before we left.
About 10 minutes into the session, I was dealt the A-10-Q-J of diamonds.
After a ton of similar missed opportunities on the trip, I was expecting more
of the same when I held the four royal cards and hit the draw button.
Well, guess what. The king of diamonds showed its lovely face and the $4,000
"out-the-door royal" put big smiles on our faces and made the long plane ride
home a lot smoother.
We're back home at Harrah's AC this weekend then next Wednesday it's off to
New Orleans for another Seven Stars trip. We're hoping to turn around our
run of bad luck and continue the good karma of our final day at South Point.
Regards,
CoachVee & Hedy

Re: [vpFREE] Re: $1000 Hand Pay at Harrah's AC

 

I have tipped at casinos but I am not a big believer in it. Nobody tips
me when I am losing and a hand-pay just means I get to be inconvenienced
for 20 minutes while they futz with the bureaucratic government paper work.

It's not a good reason to get overly generous.

On the other hand, at restaurants, I consider tipping part of the cost of
eating there. If you don't want to tip, you can eat at home and you SHOULD.

When I go to restaurants I tip 15% unless the service is really lousy.

>>They sell booze so they are a tavern. 15 lousy machines-you would think
that the Gaughan's and the Fertita's would have better things to worry
about.<<

Well, all of them don't sell booze or allow smoking (like the one at
K-Mart), so it depends on which ones they're talking about. Regardless, I'm
still not 100% clear as to what kind of complaint the big casino companies
have with them.

Even through I've never found anything all that playable at any of their
locations (for some reason, they have three within a half mile radius here in
Elko), I have to fess up to being in their slot club. In addition to
getting the princely sum of $2 cashback a month, the last time I was playing at
one of their places, the computer in Las Vegas detected my card, signaled
whoever was manning the fort down there to call the attendant up here, who
told the guy to give me $20 cash as some sort of "hotseat" promotion.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: $1000 Hand Pay at Harrah's AC

 

Unnecessary refers to the fact that unlike a $1200+ hand pay which requires a
W2G, there is no reason for a hand pay of under that amount. Mohegan Sun up
until fairly recently, hand paid every "jackpot" of $500 or more. Totally
unnecessary, and a huge waste of time.

I do, in fact, tip on hand pays where I'm getting a W2G, the amount according to
2 factors: the pleasantness, or lack thereof, of the slot attendant, and the
speed with which I receive my money.

If I were a slot attendant, the word unnecessary might stir anger in me even if
I agreed with the last part of your comment about Harrah's being too cheap.
While tipping is voluntary, withholding might transfer the cheap connotation to
the withholder.

[vpFREE] Re: poker math

 

Thank Jeff! I really appreciate your help.

I redid the dealt trips (but not four of a kind or full house)
computation and came up with 47.3 as well. Not sure where I went wrong
before. Incidentally, I got my head around the calculation using this
source for anyone who is interested:

http://books.google.com/books?id=h_ibNiI9nHoC&pg=PA320&lpg=PA320&dq=prob

&resnum=2&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=probability%20%22dealt%20trips%22&
f=false

I will look at the links you provided to better understand binomial
distribution. Interesting subject.

As for my being the unluckiest person on the planet for that one and
half hours, I have fessed up to Frank that I obviously either lost track
of the elapsed time, didn't notice some of the dealt trips, or both. It
definitely SEEMED that way though! I don't drink while I play, so I am
guessing I was under-caffeinated.

Thanks again for your help.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Valley VIew's Millon $ Colossal Coin - And the winner is...F...

 


It's not okay for non-legals to be in the country PERIOD.

People who are okay with it simply have not thought it through and that
includes LEGAL Hispanics.

It's called the law of supply and demand.

More supply and a stable demand means LOWER wages.

A friend of mine used to be a carpenter in California making decent wages.
When he was undercut by illegal labor, he had to leave the state to make a
living wage.

It's great for contractors and does lower the price somewhat for
consumers, but in the end you pay a little less in exchange for a shrinking middle
class and lower blue collar wages.

So, it's a trade off, for sure, and if you are a blue collar worker who is
legal, it sucks. If you are a contractor it's great. But not so great when
your competitors use illegal labor too.

Bottom line, if this continues you will wake up in a third world country
one morning and wonder how it happened.

Meanwhile, our manufacturing jobs are being shipped overseas-and now our
professional jobs too. Engineering firms in the USA now use off-shored talent
to underbid domestic jobs.

None of this is good unless you are a corporate CEO.

Making this a racial issue is just what the people who profit from this are
doing and many people are falling for it. I hope you are not one of them.

Become informed.

That's easy to ensure - don't allow non legal U.S. citizens to play.

Or, is it your position that it's OK for non legals to play (and
contribute to the jackpot) - as long as they don't have the nerve to win now and
then?
