I found the best time to see them was just before dusk. Well worth the trip.

How did that come about? your finding a dead body.



I was just heading out fishing in my boat with a buddy. We were cruising pretty fast in the middle of the lake on a holiday weekend. I am driving and see some "garbage" floating in the lake and point it out to my buddy so we could avoid hitting it and watching for other stuff to avoid. As we get a little closer my buddy says that it is a guy swimming. As we get even closer i realize the guy is not swimming just floating about. I call 911 who connect me with park rangers. I am at that point just slowly circling the body so no other boat or jetski hits it, it was very busy on the water that day. It took over three hours for the rangers to show up and by that point we missed our fishing window and just headed back in.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

On the weekday we were there, didn't see many boats on the water at Lake Mead, is there a reason for that right now?

October was a pretty good month for Caesars Seven Stars promos - clocked around $20K in gift cards (opted for those instead of free play). November looks pretty dry in comparison.

No experience with amounts that high.... so.... if I got a $10k gift card to an upscale men's clothier, it would be worth around $50 to me. Maybe less. I hope never to buy another suit or tie or such in my life! Since you get so many of these, do you sell most of them? Get 90% of face value? Less?

I periodically get e gift cards or e Visa for $50- $200 or so for doing on line surveys. I give my son the code, ask him to send me some amount of Starbucks Double Shot Light, and for him to keep and use whatever is left over. Last time I got 72 cans.

reminds me..... 30 years ago I 'earned' $100 in "medical supplies" for my office. I really didnt have an office. I had $100 worth of toilet paper delivered to my house....... That's a lot of free wipes....

When I get Visa gift cards (casinos seem to always be affiliated with Visa, not MasterCard), I just process them through one of my merchant processing accounts and get 98% or so cash back.

When they are store gift cards I just give them to my wife. As a married man you must know that there is no end to what a woman wants to buy, or at least, is willing to buy if given the chance.

And yes, I'm done with buying suits, I have rows of them I haven't even worn, as in not even once.

Not on the level of this, but...close.


I'll still accumulate some (more) haberdashery though, at times.

So one night recently at one of the casinos, I played for a while and then went to dinner. I was in a kick a** mood due to having won not just that night but all week, and I was texting a friend as I went up the escalator. When I got to the top I paused, distracted, looking at my phone and actually came to a standstill at the top of the escalator – completely off the escalator but just a couple of steps forward of it. Anyway, this couple came up behind me I guess, got off the escalator and I imagine I was somewhat blocking them. It was this skinny medium height black guy with this dumpy looking white girl. He actually pushed me, open palm flat on my back against my coat!

Not hard or anything, but I felt it. Didn't jar me whatsoever, but it wasn't a soft tap either, it was a push. I was in a such a good mood though that when I turned around I just looked him over and starting laughing at him, which confused him and he didn’t know what to say. I just waved my arm at him dismissively, and smiled from ear to ear, and said, "Sorry, I’m just a little distracted," and walked away. He was saying something about, “You don’t just STAND at the top of an escalator,” but I wasn’t listening. I didn’t want to interrupt my positive energy flow with any negativity.

So, what ya’ think? Part of me is wishing I’d reacted more harshly to his daring to touch me, but then at the same time, I maintained my positivity, ate dinner, forgot all about it, and kept winning at the tables after dinner too. I think if I had reacted any other way, it might’ve put a damper on the night. And the casino where this happened is known for incidents between customers on drunken weekends.

Day 32 play.

Baccarat.

Some heavy action. Very heavy. Was up about +15 then down -30 or so then rallied from there after I hit a 1000 tie bet and 20K Bank winner back to back to move back on up.

+23000

Note: Lately, for security reasons, session reports are not necessarily presented in real time corresponding directly to the day played.

And this is the MDawg challenge.

People who stop at the end of an escalator ride -- up or down -- can cause serious accidents.

Once at a mall in LA a lady's long skirt got caught at the bottom of a crowded escalator ride down.

I saw what was happening and hit the emergency stop button. Had I not there would have been quite a pileup.

Put your mind in gear when getting on an escalator.

You deserved the push.

I'm strongly with Alan on this.
You were a significant hazard and the guy pushing you was averting a potential disaster. He might have reacted better by yelling something like "EXCUSE ME", but that was an emergency situation.
Next time you're on an elevator take a look at how sharp and nasty the edges are and consider what would happen if you had to fall onto one.

Also, what's the relevance of his and her ethnicity or weight? Were that couple inferior to you? Should you have put them in their place?

Now put yourself in their shoes.
Near the top of the escalator and some "black guy with this dumpy looking white girl" were stood at the escalator exit playing on their phones. What would you do? Slowly walk backwards till they left? Shout loudly? Swear? Just ride steadily into the back of them and keep walking at escalator pace

I don't think you were texting a "friend." I think you were reading about that poker challenge here at this forum that you ridiculously claimed didn't exist which you turned down with an even more ridiculous excuse and got nervous and distracted when all that talk was exposed.

You imagine you were somewhat blocking them? Right... and what does their race have anything to do with it? Nevermind, I think we know the answer...

This sentence is filled with contradictions but then again, that applies to a lot of your posts.

No, I'm quite positive your reaction can be explained away with the fact you couldn't just post another gangster film meme or come up with another snarky comment to his face the way you do here anonymously on a message forum. Once again, when push comes to shove (pun intended), you're just all talk...

If I might slightly hijack this thread…. In med school, when presenting a case, it was taught to always start with ….
Age,race,gender,height,weight.

(Me). 62 year old white make, 5’11”, 163pounds…..

There are SOME medical conditions where race is relevant. But in today’s politically correct environment there are those that feel race should be mentioned ONLY if it is relevant. For example…. 70 year old woman with COVID. Not 70 year old Black woman with COVID.

MDawg, I’d say your characterization of ‘Black guy with dumpy White girl’ was not necessary to the point you were making. Take this as a learning moment, not an attack on you.

Reversing situations I wouldn’t push anyone unless it was a situation where someone including myself needed to be placed out of danger. I was completely off the escalator. At some point though people might have piled up behind me and then yes it would have been a different situation. I needed to get out of the way. This guy was just agitated or flustered and wanted to get by quickly.

Vegas is a touchy scene at times and you don’t know who might be drunken or who is going to pull out a knife or gun which is why it’s better to just use a mentality of less contact with the public. That this guy didn’t take that into consideration means that he was as unaware of his surroundings in a way as I was.

Ignoring my whole post with zero rebuttal, a childish egocentric wish that one is envious of some anonymous attention seeking individual and a wrongly guessed explanation of what my user name might be an acronym of?

What a surprise!

Like I've said before: all talk. This individual proves it with every single post.

I actually have something of the same ear to ear smile on my face right now as I read your two posts, as I did when that guy pushed me. But hey, that's just me, I respond to life's unexpected with a smile. I just thought it was funny that someone would be in that much of a hurry, but I also realized that I shouldn't have been standing there. In a way, I also thought it was funny that I had unintentionally stopped right off the top of an escalator. Never done that one before.

Welcome.

Here you go with the relevant gangster movie clip.



I'm more like Robert DeNiro. Not at all like Nicky Santoro.

OnceDear, as far as the Queen / King's Guards, since we were little I remember parents telling us about how these guards will never flinch and will do their duty of marching or whatever without regard to anything around them. Every time I've visited London since and been by Buckingham I've thought about that.

Yeah, no.

You're not Robert DeNiro (Ace Rothstein) in Casino. At all.

No, based on your posts and a whole lot of talking and nothing more, you're more like that tough talking (at first) cowboy with his feet up on the table until he was whimpering later on and got slapped in the face when Joe Pesci (Nicky Santoro) came around to show everyone who the real gangster was. Ace said it himself.

Nicky actually backed up the talk (still got clipped in the end). Even after all the bragging and accumulation of money/possessions, as the saying goes, you can't take it with you.

Seriously, thanks for the laughs and keep the lame gangster movie memes coming!

Again, just wishful (and somewhat disturbing to me now) thinking and zero rebuttal to what was actually written!

Talking and talking in circles while avoiding direct rebuttals and instead just bumping up one's thread consistently on a daily basis for attention on some message board isn't what many of us would call "living life to the fullest." So please, don't confuse envy for pity.

When you're ready to stop writing gibberish, there's a clearly made poker challenge you brought onto yourself still awaiting your, umm, attention...

I didn't say that I was Ace, I said that I was more like Ace than Nicky, and my frisky reaction to a potentially volatile situation proves it.

In other words, I am not trying to encroach on your Ace2 honorific. 😄

Concours d'Elegance Las Vegas continues today with a parade down the Strip.


Our car didn't win. Oh well. A family member drove it today.

I entered first alone because my wife was still getting ready, and went into the wrong section. One of the workers stopped me and said, "Sir, you belong in the V.I.P. section." I'd like to think it was because I have a lucky face, but actually, it was simply because he noticed the color of my wrist band.



V.I.P. section had great food, fully hosted bar, and very attentive servers who would bring you anything from a drink to a napkin fork or straw.


In fact, the kabobs wrapped in pita bread were better than anything we've experienced in Vegas.



Lot of interesting cars.






Must be owned by a local attorney.






Ferrari F40
















This is a "Kaiser" as in Kaiser Steel and Kaiser Permanente.


Lot of unique features including sliding doors.


My grandfather had one of these Cadillacs with the shift lever in the steering column,



and my Dad's Lincoln Continental used the same steering column shift design, but was automatic. Both were already vintage classics at the time.

There were more "ordinary" cars there too, such as this 1986 Mercedes 190E 2.3 16


Back to the Future.


Batmobile.


Awards Ceremony.



I have many more pics. If there is interest I could post more.

Over the weekend, especially last night, people in Halloween costumes starting making appearances at the casinos.

One guy wore a SWAT outfit - including helmet and body armor. Was asked to leave by hotel security.

Day 33 play.

Baccarat.

Wasn’t easy at times, but I did it!

+31000

Blackjack:
Doubling down is a good move if the winning double benefits the bettor - it does not if someone else is stepping up to snipe the play. My gaming philosophy is to take only from the casino - not from other players. If the guy isn't going to benefit from the double, at least don't rob him of the opportunity to take another card.

In general:
I also am agin people who don’t tip dealers. If you’re a loser at the casinos, then why not leave something behind for someone in the way of a tip rather than losing it all anyway. And if you’re a winner, you should be able to afford to tip. The abundance mentality really pays off especially in the long run.

Looking at blowing a little of the casino's money on this.

Vacheron Constantin 4030T/00R-B654

Prices have dropped considerably on all fine timepieces past few months especially, and may be time to snipe!

Terrible phraseology on that. You are thinking of blowing your money on that, once you won it from the casino it is your money not theirs.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Well, spending then.

But my wife would view it more as "blowing" in that she says I have too many watches.


Actually - money well spent on the right timepiece may be considered an investment. Buy the dip!

My experience is girlfriends and wives don't like themselves and the word "blowing" used in the same sentence.

I actually am pretty sure I saw Robbi in a Vegas casino last week. After passing her, I thought about it and turned around to go talk to her, but she was gone.

Sunglasses, tight jeans, and tight top emphasizing her bosom. Smiling, hard to miss.

Might have been someone entirely different that just looked like her, but wouldn't have minded talking to whoever that was, too.

Robbi's been posting a series of Instagram reels clowning Garrett Adelstein.

Seriously considering an a la DarkOz, "I make _____ a week" push. (But unlike DarkOz, every week, not just some weeks.)

But what should that weekly number be? Obviously at least 10K a week to make it worth my time, and lately I have been doing quadruple that, but
(1) Do I have the time to spare, and
(2) Can I keep it up?

I think $10k /wk would be an easy goal without pressure and time constraints and would allow for the occasional weak shoe. You could do it playing only 1 day / week most of the time or play an extra day to keep the average up and cover the occasional weak session. Most players don't have the ability to accomplish one winning session much less a steady weekly $10+K. You are already doing this , documented.
(1) you can definitely do it! 100% 1 or 2 days / wk. avg.4 hrs /day or less at private table.
(2) YES DEFINITELY ! Like Baccarat on Viagra !

On the recent sessions I needed (or rather, wanted) the funds for a watch, a very expensive one, much more expensive than the one I posted about recently. Of course I already had the money, but I wanted to win it - and wanted the last session to take me over the top with what was needed when combined with other very recent sessions.

Proof that a burning desire may be transmuted into its physical equivalent. Nothing comes easy though and in order to win big might have to risk big at times too. Will be wearing another grail watch soon.

You forget that often I don't even go to the casino.

I have a team that makes the money and I just get cash for staying home and organizing.

Although this year didn't work out that way. I had to handle Casinos across three states for a few months.

I'm beat. And now I am starting something not even Casino related. Has me flying back and forth across the country, lol.

Well, Eddie Murphy did rise from the streets to prove that he could function as well as Dan "MBA educated to the manor born" Akroyd in Trading Places, but by and large trying to direct a motley crew of what I assume are street people can't be edifying or easy. I mean, you came from the streets (subways) according to your homeless story, but before that you were a regular working stiff with I assume the usual education or upbringing background of most corporate workers, so I'd assume that you have more management skills than the people who work for you. Even educated skilled workers can't be allowed to simply run rampant they must be directed at times.

Hmm, sounds like another "I make $20K a week" (but not every week) line.

Ah yes! there it is.

"Often I don't even go to the casino." Except not every week, when I do have to go in.

I suppose that you don't realize that it's impossible to take such statements seriously, rife as they are with asterisk laden exceptions and contradictions.

Hmm...why didn't you add the word OFTEN or SOMETIMES to the "I make $20K a week" statement??

Street people?

You believe I took a bunch of homeless people and put them to work?

Lol, the imagination of some people boggles the mind.

Most of my workers are long-time associates. One helped me by giving me shelter during my homeless period even above the ire of her then husband.

Some are family

One is a college graduated friend of my son where they both attended and graduated together.

Your views are typical bourgeois bullshit that everyone who isn't buying$10,000 watches must be comprised of bottom barrel feeders

As for running rampant, again an assumption. Just because people work for me doesn't mean I don't watch what they do. I trust my workers but I don't trust them enough not to periodically verify they are maintaining my trust.

And they're not $10,000. watches they are $100,000. watches. (But not every week.)
