Who here has doubled down with the dealer showing a 5? Who here has seen the dealer flip over a face card to go with that 5? Who here has seen a dealer pull a 6 out of his ass? You either said yes to all questions or you don't play Blackjack.

I laughed, I cried, I bookmarked to read again after I forget all about it.

Wonderfully written!

I wish I didn't skip the Wynn buffet which had a 3 hour long wait. My brother assured me there was no better buffet in existence.

when i was there in july, whenever they gave you the comp ($20 off) of the buffet for playing some odd hours on your poker room card, they also wrote you a line pass. i remember being about 3rd in line with my buddy and thinking, there is no effing way i would wait in that long ass line if i didn't have this pass. i can confirm, it is the best buffet i've ever had. just a note for next time.

Soooo true. Very nice read. Makes me long to go back ... and since my wife is pregnant, I have been told it's going to be at least a year and a half until I get the thumbs-up to go again. Gross.

i'm totally there with you on the casino war. i played some form of the heineken/martingayle system at the excal., and remember pulling benji's out of my pocket at some point for my last bet. something like $150 or something, but i ended up winning that bet to be up like $20 and left. -ev gambling is so much more exciting.

I find out some guy named mike l. is at the table too. If it's 2+2 mike l. why is he playing 15/30 limit?

It seems like any time I am in a poker room, there's a Mike L. Or mike l.

Thank you everyone for reading. I'm glad it turned out as well as it did. Now for some bonus material. (Stuff I forgot to put in)

When I went back to the Excalibur poker room the Persian guy who bought me a shot saw me and started groaning loudly saying, "Not this maniac again!" I say "Don't worry I'm not drunk this time." He orders me a shot.

When the Chinese guy from Nevada Landing bust and left he said "I need go shopping now." Isn't it a little late to be shopping for presents on Christmas morning?

As we approaced the stateline and I was drifting off to sleep I saw one guy walking alone besides the freeway tugging his luggage along. (No it wasn't the Chinese guy) Now that's what I call absolutely BUSTO.

Here we place the best carnival game ever. (Couldn't find a better picture)



Picture 15 kids sitting side by side frantically rolling balls into holes to get their horse across the finish line first. Me and my bro sit down ready to pwn them all. I slam my one dollar onto the glass and we're off. I get lucky and hit two reds (3 notches) in a row sending me way into first place. I ended hitting two more yellows (1 notch) for the rest of the race. I think my ball was rigged. My brother on the other hand was only two notches away from the finish line when some 8 year old girl hits a blue and a red (5 notches total) in like 4 seconds to win the race. I swear there's no skill involved at all!

I love this game and was trying to get people to play for $$$. No go, but I enjoyed pummelling the ten year olds.

Great read toss. I hit up the Wynn buffet the last time I was there ('ve never had any other Vegas buffet), and I must've eaten my weight in crab legs. That alone made it worth the money.
