The Party's at Harveys?

[darco77]

Anyone been to Harveys in SLT lately? A friend was there over the MLK holiday weekend and reports that multiple 8-deck dealers were ignoring the cut card and dealing to nearly the end of the shoe. He observed this at multiple tables, by multiple dealers. I'll be there in a few weeks and will check it out myself, but was wondering if anyone else has seen this.

They will probably be cutting off 2+ decks by the time you get there cause people will have burned it out by then because of this post. That may be an exaggeration but if you know of a good game why would you go around posting about it for everyone to see? Good games are hard enough to find these days, protect them with your life! (or at least sell them to people and make a few bucks off it )

Ahhh, so that's how it works... doh!

Mermaids, a slots only joint on Fremont between Binions and the Glitter Gulch strip club. The daytime patrons sing/yell to themselves and their top shelf liquor would be well at your local dive.

Yeah, and they have those big margaritas with everclear in them!

[EDIT: No, wait...that's the Bayou place across the street. Sorry...]

I was there over the MLK weekend too and pen was average to poor. And it was so crowded I couldn't even get in a game.

What's that place in SLT where the players' club is called "Advantage Players?" I saw that and just had to laugh! They had a sign up for a special VIP line called "Advantage Players." It probably leads to a gas chamber or something.

Brings back memories - Harvey's in the mid-80s was my favorite place - deep 1Ds, lakeview hottub suites, and one of the few times that I used depth-charging consistent/aggressive.

The pit thought I was the biggest idot, using my "dual-drive" progression - "Some gamblers increase their bets with each loss, and some increase their bets with each win. My dual-drive progression is the best of both worlds because I increase my bet whether I win of lose the hand, then restart the progression upon shuffle"

I would get that extra hand squeezed out with the pit's blessing because they understood that the deeper they went the bigger the bet, unrelated to the count. zg

Yeah Zg! Weren't those the good 'ol days though? You talking about before the explosion or no? Remember that French dip and potato salad combo for $1.95 right next to the pits...a whole inch and a half of juicy roast beef. Boy, the good 'ol days.

This was post explosion, circa '85... AND I loved those metal chips - pink $500s. zg

The good ol' days.... another patent example of being born too late. Seriously, every time I hear a story about the "good ol' days", I start to feel like its my generation that is walking to school uphill in the snow, both ways.

In the interest of full disclosure, I finally got up to Harvey's this last weekend. No one was dealing past the cut card. Go figure. In other not-so-good news, the DD at Bill's is crap. My Jan08 copy of CBJN showed a cut of .4. What I found was a cut of .5, with an initial burn of a half-deck. It's still a playable game for SLT, but requires a sh!tload of patience. I think I'll take BJ Bob's advice and just head up to Drano next time.
