    Las Vegas trip report

    Man, the pit almost always treats me very well at EC. They give me generous comps, are friendly and empty my ashtray like clockwork. It is a shame so many seem to have problems at EC; I love the old joint. Maybe if I wasn't such a low roller, they'd be less cordial.

    Most you have won/lost playing blackjack

    I've left the table up over a thousand bucks a few times over the years. But like I always say, I'm obviously no kind of high roller. Just a downtown Vegas kind of guy. I took a local Tucson Indian casino for $600 last summer in only little over an hour of play spreading $10-75. The shoes I...

    What are some of the best players clubs in Vegas?

    Obviously I'm partial towards El Cortez, but I'm a low roller who always eats free and often gets room comped there. Their food is pretty darned good and the rooms are very clean. I've never had a bad stay there. And I usually win nicely.

    How much do you walk into the casino with?

    I rarely go into a casino with over $1500-2000 on me. I'm a low roller obviously and usually bet only $25-50, but will sometimes ride out a bad count by betting table mins, which since I play downtown is often just five bucks. My job pays only $23 an hour. To some I'm sure I'm just poor white...

    Counting dealers

    Lucifer, I smoke about one cigarette an hour and consciously try to blow my smoke away from people. Why would you "HATE" me just because I smoke cigarettes? Jesus, man - that's pretty rough. And WHY would you ever want employment in one of the few workplaces where people smoke heavily all...

    When did all the Vegas heat begin?

    Personal opinion: I despise disco. Always have always will. It took the art and mind of rock n roll and made them robotic and self-absorbed, using drugs for pleasure and lust instead of turning on to appreciate the world we live in better. Present company excluded. Disco led to rap, which...

    Table Courtesy Question

    Do you exhale? Do you drive a car? Every time you start your engine, you create "victims" with your action due to poisonous gasses. Driving a car is legal. People do it on streets. Smoking tobacco is legal. People do it in casinos. Aside from causing the trauma of someone having...

    Table Courtesy Question

    They're gonna have to pry the Marlboros from my cold dead hands. I am a very considerate smoker who is aware of where my smoke goes and am tidy with the ashes. I never blow smoke towards anyone. But I am less and less amused at the haughty theatrics of some people...coughing and waving...

    Need some advice .. and possibly a group hug

    Are you talking to me, yesiamred? Well, if so, I think you wouldn't be too interested in my meager, low roller bankroll. And what a good thing for you that you "know what you're doing"...confidence can't hurt, I suppose. Unless you make it clear otherwise, one would imagine the posters on...

    I'm good for that hug. Why DO you gamble?

    Finally making it to Vegas

    I'd rather eat **** than give a dime to Caesars.

    Going to Vegas (Baby) in late August!

    The black PB (George) empties my ashtray like clockwork and that asian lady has actually smiled at me once or twice. I do stay there when in town. And I win. But I'm just a low roller who rarely bets over $100 - $150.

    Finally making it to Vegas

    http://inoldlasvegas.com/el_cortez.html Don't spread to much or play high roller and you won't have any problem at all at EC.

    i'm in vegas for the first time and the first thing that I was wondering

    I always ring up the same chick when I go to Vegas. I have a great time for 3 hours and it costs me about 400. She is a 24 year old knockout who is versatile and openminded. I usually win at least that much so it pays for itself. She's one of the few classy hookers who thinks El Cortez is...
