Stoney's at 9151 S. Las Vegas (strip mall away from the street) is fun, rowdy, cheap and recommended. Jeans and boots are common. It is not pure C&W, they play hip-hop too and more so as the night wears on such as midnight. Much better than Gilley's which is now mostly a restaurant at TI.

Subject: [vpFREE] country western dancing in Vegas
Can anyone tell me if there are any fun country-western dancing places in Vegas? The only one I know about is Gilley's....

[vpFREE] Stations Chairman vs President
I am 50K "status credits" away from Chairman status. Is it worth it
to play another 50K to get it? Or are the benefits rather negligible?
[vpFREE] OT, 4 aces pays $11,111 at Red Rock Poker Room today
On 11-11-11, promo pays $11,111 if you have AA in holdem and flop 4 aces. odds of that are 1 in 90,241.66. (must have 2 aces in your 2 hole cards) they had the promo on 9-9-9 for four nines it and hit got hit twice.
Based on number of tables and deals, they might get 80-100k hands dealt, so odds are it will hit once. You also get $1,111 if you make 4 aces by 4th street or 5th street.
Still a longshot either way. I would try to talk the table into sharing the prize if anyone hits. Give 1k or $100 to each other player dealt in, keeping 2.1k and 2.1c for yourself if 10 handed tables.

Theres no substitute for some serious knowledge of the mathematics of gambling-and making correct decisions based on the math. I think this is the one area that all the very best AP's have in common. They don't have to play follow the leader. They cut their own trail. They find plays the average AP doesn't.
In the forward to his book "A Brief History of Time" Stephen Hawking stated he was told by other astro-physicists that if he put one equation in the book it would cut sales in half. That's a reality I think video poker writer/theorists also face.
I think there is suffecient information out there that a person can do fine without in-depth knowledge of the math. But the very very best AP's are gambling math professionals from hell.

I look forward to what others will offer up on this topic. I can only reply with some speculative thoughts ...
While I understand there are some exceptionsl cases of such player cutbacks, particularly a few widespread actions taken when management either takes a little heat or just wake up feeling a little paranoid, generally speaking I sense that such measures occor pretty infrequently ... And in those cases the targeted individuals have targeted themselves by engaging in play that clearly singles themselves out from the crowd.
This may involve play consistent play volume well above the mean, promotional redemptions similarly strong, an inordinate success rate in claiming drawing winnings, etc. If your play is such that it draws attention to the possibility that you might be playing with an advantage over the casino, you need to be prepared for the possibility of countermeasures, and may wish to lower your profile a bit.
As far as notions that 15 minutes of slot play each trip might camoflage the general nature of your play, I personally don't subscribe. I personally don't find it crdible that a small blip on the radar is going to fool anyone. (And as you note, greater play quickly comes at significant ER cost.)
Still, others who I greatly respect do buy on to this. (I'll let you know the day I'm shown the door and they're still playing.)
