Oh, I didn't know there were already 40 episodes, I thought it was something new. The first one I watched last night was with the Canyon Inn in Yorba Linda, Calif. What a JERK that bar owner was! Such a big ego. I'm sitting here yelling at the tv, "screw him, let him go bankrupt, friggin jerk!" lol
Has the episode actually aired yet involving the 702 Bar? I did find a website the other day, seemed to be a work in progress. I'm going to be in Vegas, hopefully, in about three weeks, I will definitely stop by the 702 Bar. And Anthony Curtis said there will be a progressive coming. I hope they do great and maybe other bars will catch on.
On my last trip to Vegas I was somewhere over on the westside and I saw a bar in the corner of a parking lot. There were banners and signs about "grand opening, hot video poker, best video poker in town", or something like that. I went inside, and it was a bunch of 6-5 Bonus Poker crap, without even a progressive. GTFO! CLUELESS! What a joke. What a bad joke. I left.
