Vegas Recap Part 2

Some summary comments that I forgot to add in the prior post:

1. Craps- One of the most satisfying craps runs in a long time. Despite getting destroyed at the Belagio, all my other runs were wonderful. Used a combo of come bets and placing the 6 and 8. I started to max my odds whenever I could that really helped. But on at least three occasions, I crapped out with a very large amount of money on the table. That's very hard for me to overcome.

2. Empty space between the Monte and Belagio- This construction will be complete by the time we are all back out there. Looks pretty amazing.

3. Mirage- I can't tell you how disappointed I was to see the removal of the TVs from the BJ tables. I was looking forward to watching the baseball games and playing BJ. Sucks.

4. Gambling by myself was very enjoyable. A little too enjoyable. Made me a little more outgoing with other people. I think I met someone at each table I was at which is a first since I normally don't talk to anyone and find everyone annoying.

5. Monte Carlo- Wow, they are changing everything in there. They rearranged their craps tables which was strange. They are putting in new brown carpet, and redoing all their crap tables in brown felt.

6. Planet Hollywood- First, I thought that they were out of business. And since they bought the Aladdin, they are sure to go out of business very soon. Not enough tables to handle the people in the casino. At 12:00pm, I couldn't find an open BJ table. And their craps table almost made me go blind. Black felt, with gray and red highlights. Ugh.

7. New York New York- Probably the most entertaining place to gamble. They always have music blaring which is nice at times, along with TVs mounted at every table. This makes for such a nice gambling experience.

Sorry for not commenting about this before:

1. Define very large. 10x minimum bet ($50 on a $5 table?) 20x?
I can easily see if you bet $10, backed it up with $20, had two comes for 10/20 each, had 2 numbers worth 12 or 18 each...

that's ....let's see.... $126 dollars, 12x original bet. Yikes!

2. Please give more details on what will be here. Restaurants? Casinos?

3. That sucks. You'll have to visit again to see if the TVs are back for the football season.

4. What's wrong with being nice to strangers? You can never be too enjoyable to others.... brings good karma all around.

7. See comment in latest post.
