Do you spend enough time in Vegas to be a Nevada resident and avoid California income taxes?

For us (ex) New Yorkers, I have to spend 183 days out of state to (legally) avoid NYS income taxes. I made it to around 190 last year, likely 200 this year!

Fantastic, I didn't realize that you were spending that much time in Florida.

Not entirely because I still have CA businesses. But - yes I made the switch a few years ago.

I’m here on a short trip. Summary results so far :

-Win $120K
-Win $100K
-Win $90K
-Lose $130K
-Lose $250K

When I lost I just kept losing. Had this memorable hand where I had 10 grand each on big and small tiger 6 with $120K on Bank itself I started with total 1, Player started with total 0 (two monkeys), I got the 5 for big tiger but Player drew a freakin’ 7. So instead of winning $620K I lost $140K.

Two sessions.

First one I got down -350K before you knew it. I left for a bit, came back, rallied and actually got ahead, but not more than +50K. Then was down about -110K, ended up winning just under +$20K.

Second session much better, never down, and walked with +$160K

A clean +$200K win which is, in the words of my grandfather God rest his soul, a sh*t ton of money.

Back already. Vegas Strip and resorts not so busy during Super Bowl weekend. Not like you’d expect anyway and already been here a few days.

+$65K

Largest bet was $35K where I also bet 5000 on tie and hit the tie. Dealer remarked - “No one bets 5000 on tie.”

Second largest bet $25K, which I lost.

Three sessions.

First lost -$400K

Second won +$300K with most of it coming from the penultimate hand a wager of 250K

Third won $110K betting far too little on 12 Player run.

Very smooth sailing.

Also earned a sh*t ton of slots free play on a promo that I just gave her to play.

Any selectivity in those game choices, or just a "have fun - smack buttons"?

(At one of my usual spots, I managed to find a 5 for 2 VBJ that often exceeds par on redemptions.)
May the cards fall in your favor.

If I were playing the slots I would do research and figure that out, but she just plays for fun. I have presented some input as to which machines I am aware have a lower hold, but not to the point of AP slot play.

She doesn't like video poker or blackjack.

There was one time I just wanted to get the free play over with and played it myself on a Buffalo machine, cashed out 2X (cash $4000.) the free play. I put it all into a Buffalo machine and just kept pushing buttons at 20 - 30 a spin.

One time she outdid me, and hit a jackpot for a few thousand off just a small amount of free play, but otherwise she doesn't cash out 2X much if at all. I had a recent promo where I received 12000 in free play on slots which is substantial, given that it was a promo earned through table play where I was winning at the tables anyway, and she did okay with that on some machines, but in the end cleared barely 50%.

My joy is in watching her push dem buttons she looks so cute concentrating on the screen, and taking an occasional pic surreptitiously. But if I were to show her the pics she'd probably get upset as she thinks I don't take the best pictures.
