The last casino that I knew of to offer any bonus
for C$ exchange was the original on Hacienda LV Blvd.

G'luck all,

[vpFREE] best Canadian exchange rates in LV?

 

Hi there,

I brought a few hundred Canadian dollars back with me from my latest foray to the North ... I know that some Vegas casinos will offer perks (e.g. free play) or higher-than-bank exchange rates to exchange them ... are there any that stand out among the pack?

Thanks in advance,
m.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Gordon Ramsey Steakhouse Paris

 

WOW, didn't mean to open a can of worms.  Did you ever see Master Chef?  He's pretty nice on that one.  The contestants are only home cooks with talent and Joe is the bastard on that one.  They always have to do that on reality TV or no one would watch.  I never watch reality TV except for the cooking ones because our son is a chef (BTW he's nothing like that) and he got us watching and then we got hooked on competitive cooking shows.  However, in "reality", all reality TV shows are not reality at all, but staged to draw in viewers and make the almighty dollar.

IMO this is sort of circular, since the "head chef" of the restaurant was
always going to be the winner of HK, regardless of who that turned out to
be (though as someone else noted, there's often shenanigans around just
how long the HK winner sticks around or what their actual role at the
restaurant ends up being).

>> Give Christina a chance!

Dunno, I'm a long-time HK viewer, and although he is an abusive jerk 99%
of the time on HK, I've also watched all the seasons of one of his UK
shows, The F-Word, and while I'd certainly believe that he's very
demanding and a perfectionist etc. -- I suspect most successful chefs are,
by nature -- it also seems likely to me that his US TV persona is a
character he plays up for effect, and doesn't reflect how he actually is
in person.

e.g. he was much nicer to the contestants on the F-Word (it's not remotely
the same format as HK, and it differs from season to season) and one of
the recurring segments involves him encouraging people to cook more, with
him going into people's houses and giving them help/tips. In those
segments he's always supportive and patient.

[vpFREE] Re: Bob Dancer's LV Advisor Column - 25 SEP 2012

 

Bob-

A friend of mine likes these kinda plays so I'll ask:

1. Would you mind sharing the calculations you used (on the spot) to estimate the $5EV in this play.

2. I understand that the stakes here were well below your norm, but how can one (A VP player who might have $200 - $1000 bucks in their pocket) account for the potentially high variance of this machine before making a decision?

3. What were your final results?
