:rofl So, my wife and I are going to head to Vegas next month for our 5th wedding anniversary, and I'm checking around the website of the hotel we want to stay at. Yowza, the prices sure have pipped up since last year! Maybe there's a conference happening that same week.... Now, ever since we started going, we've been getting those casino "Players Club" cards that you slip into the slot machines (they all go under different names--we have a half-dozen of them from different casinos) but since we have been "low rolling" we really haven't gotten much out of them. But I figure, what the heck, I might as well call the "casino promotions" to see if I can wrangle a "deal"--the worst that can happen is they say "no," right? So I call and give 'em my number and tell them the truth: "its our wedding anniversary and I want to do something special, can you help?" I'm put through to a casino hostess and I give her the story. *clickety clickety* "Well I see here you've got a pretty low rating but you've been coming pretty regular. How about *this*"--and she quotes me a room rate less than 1/3 of anything I can find on the 'net. I can deal with that. :drool :: Morals of the story: get a players card when you hit the casinos, and don't be shy about calling them and asking what they can do for you!! --Mark
thats just good karma coming back to you for all your hard work and dedication to the art of shavery ! Have a great time and throw some down on "The Field" for me
2-way Yo and a high horn 5'er every other point. Do that for 4 hours straight. Walk out of the casino a millionaire.
Sounds great! I'm already talking the guys into going back for next spring break. Where are you going to be staying?
God I love Vegas! You guys are an awful, terrible, horrible bunch of...........somethings.....I don't know what y'all are exactly but you're AWFUL!
You want me to hurt you Will? :mad: You aren't that far away. I could easily drive up there for a little "visit". ::kar
Yikes...I'm not even sure what that means. I stick to the pass line and a come bet, with place bets on the 6 and the 8 (not Big 6/8). :ashamed001 --Mark
2 way Yo's and High Horn bets are a license to print money in a casino. No wonder you aren't a big GAMBOOOOOLER. You stick to those "safe" bets that tend to "minimize the house's edge." Sheesh. Where's the fun in THAT? http://www.wizardofodds.com/craps
See the thing is I always loose in Vegas, Get me on the RES and I walk like a hustler. It dose not matter what I do. High roll, play tight it don't matter.
What's a RES? Mantic, that wizardofodds page should be a bit of light reading on the plane... then just step off the jetway, walk past the slots in the airport, take a taxi straight to the Wynn, and pull up a chair in the High Rollers lounge at the first craps table with a $500 minimum bet. 3 days later you'll be retired with enough money to put Bill Gates to shame, or flat broke. Either way, you'll have quite a story to tell us!!

Occasionally I'll waste some time at the Craps tables, but that's about the extent of my gambling.
