Thats all great,but doesn't answer if you think its a good value. For a $37 on-line membership to LVA,you get all the coupons,access to the members only site where you get all the info you'll ever need,daily coupons that aren't in the POV and a bit more. If you will be there twice and will...

A very quick check shows most expire in December. Some during the month but most on the 31st.

DWI deaths amongst 18-21 year olds plummeted in NY when the drinking age was raised.Sad but true,young males just can't mix drinking and driving. btw-I used to manage and then owned some niteclubs and the raise in the drinking age cost me a very large amount of money.

My trip in Feb,I used the $25 Fiesta MP(won),Rampart$10 MP(lost,but got a nice Tshirt for joining),Terribles MP(lost,got tshirt)El Cortez2-1 room(saved $40),used the 50% off coupon for Robertas(saved $25),the 2-1 for the dining room at The Vegas Club(saved $30),2-1 at Binions deli(saved$10),$50...

Wild West had a pretty good lo-roller game when I was there in Feb.

What you need to realize is that BS is not a system that helps you win.It will help you lose at a slower pace,but in the longrun-you'll lose. As far as the laminated cards go-I've never seen a casino that wouldn't let you use a laminated card. Some might not let you place it on the table,and...

BJ in Laughlin has taken a big turn south,but you can still find okay games at The Riverside,The Pioneer and The Ramada.Edgewater used to have good games but not the last two trips I made.

As a general rule,any place that is serving free liquor can't have patrons under 21.Turning Stone,in upstate New York,is the only casino I'm aware of on the East Coast that allows eighteen year olds to gamble. But it's non-drinking and non-smoking.

A couple more points. Always use your players card. You'll get some comps no matter what level of play you do. There is no clear cut stop limit,either on time or losses. Play until you are tired or bored. Until you've lost whatever you figure you are comfortable losing,or vice versa. 40- to...

what variant of HiLo would you teach somebody in the three minutes it takes to learn OPP?

You can get a very similar system for free on Arnold Snyders website.Both methods are discussed at great length.Seems to be more effective than simple BS,but not as powerful as most full counting systems. Is real easy to learn. http://www.blackjackforumonline.com look for 'Easy OPP" counting...

Thinking you are going to win just because you read a blackjack book is as stupid as thinking you'll go to heaven if you read the bible.

If he had big bets because the count was high,then insurance was called for,as well. When I encounter a dealer streak such as that,I simply recall the times I've hit a 14 against a dealers 10 and gotten a 7.The bottom line is that losing four hands in a row to dealer BJs is no different than...

Isn't losing 125 one unit bets a bit excessive? Surely you didn't buy in for over $3000 and start playing quarters,did you? Maybe its just me,but long before I lose 100 units,I figure its just not my day and take a walk. I know stop losses don't do anything for your longterm won/loss...

Late shifts Tuesday and Wednesday,I'd throw in the Sands,as well.
