Isn't the commerce suppose to be a safe place? I mean there have the WPT tour in Commerce on tv and that should make it a safe place won't it? Granted, i am from new york so i don't know that much about LA.

Isn't Los angeles mostly about the stars and glamour. I know there is the whole thing about Compton and South Central I heard about and from the movies they depict. Is the Commerce located at a very bad location?

I thought LA is home to all the glamour and movie stars. Why do all the rich folks live there then?

Do the L.A. casinos like Commerce and the Bike have safety deposit boxes in their cages for regular players? If I were a regular player I wouldn't even cash out my chips if they had this option. Naturally, you would need the ability to wire funds to your bank account. Do the casinos provide the service of wiring funds out?

In California, you can open up a Players Bank Account at the Cage. Its very similar to a passbook savings account, that pays no interest. I would believe some players do not like the idea that this account could be traced and used by taxing authorities to audit your returns.

As for the parking lots, if you have a lot of cash, use the valet parking, less than the cost of a meal inside the casino. When I don't valet park, I like to walk and converse on the phone till I am inside the car. At least I know, if something happens then the person on the other line will call 911 immediately.

Sorry to hear about your situation w/ your friends. 3 robberies in less than one year seems pretty awful. I noticed that you didn't mention Hollywood Park Casino. I've personally been robbed there @ gunpoint and of all the L.A. Casino's this is the one where personal theft is most rampant. Like I said sorry to hear about your situation but there are some safegaurds you can take to remedy the problem. (valet park, security escort, stay away from Hollywood Park)

That's my reg cardroom [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Do you have to pay for a security escort?
How do you get one? Ask the concierge?

I'm too cheap to valet, so when I showed up and parked in the way way back lot at 2:30am this morning, the security guard actually drove over, and stopped me as I was getting out of my car.

He looks at me like I'm crazy and asks "why are you parking all the way back here"
lolol
