I'm aware of the film but I haven't seen. Any movies since my flood.
They took until March to do the drywall and mold removal and lay down new carpet.
I've been buying new furniture for two different rooms including two new pinballs and handling my gambling business at the same time

I feel for you. Both my mother and sister's houses flooded from hurricane Ian. Hopefully my mothers house will be finished in a few weeks and sister still has a few more months. It has been almost seven months since either of them have been in their houses. Both houses were taken down to the studs.

Planning possibly a trip where just swoop into town to be in a few nearly overlapping tournaments, grab as many gift cards as possible, and leave. It's not just about the comps but I have to be in Vegas anyway for business sometime soon for a couple of clients.

These are the semi-old school room keys from Vegas - the Ilco "Marlok" keys which would be punched with a combo of holes under the thin black stripes into a unique key for each stay at the hotel. The lock at the door had to be hard wired to the front desk for the keys to work.
These were in use probably during the 1990s, until the modern key cards came out. Someone pitched these Marlok keys to the C.I.A. as "truly secure" in the mid 1980s.
Before these were around, each door had a unique key, and I have some of those truly old school Vegas keys somewhere too.

And how long before the volcano comes down?
The Mirage’s iconic volcano will soon erupt no more
I actually never paid much attention to it, looked at it closely for possibly the first time earlier this year. When all you're doing is walking (or driving, or being driven) from one property to another just to play, you don't always look to the left or right much. 😆 At least not at landmarks. At showgirls, maybe. I spend more time looking closely at the interior of Vegas hotels than exterior.
Meantime, Cosmo's Identity Players Club is supposed to change over to MGM's MLife program later this year. You may eat at any MGM hotel restaurant and charge it back to your Cosmo room for comp'ing, but if you're not staying at any MGM property and have only Identity points (no MLife) you can't use Identity points other than at Cosmo.

Korean. iirc Andrew Wiggins rather bizarrely got selected as an nba starter all star (despite being a sub all star player) last year on the back of some Warriors marketing to Kpop fans thing specifically on a day votes were counted 2-1….Warriors used advantage play to game the all star game selection from primarily non nba fans.

Someone was asking about how to get around the Strip when there is a lot of traffic or lane closures.
We usually drive into Vegas because my wife brings a lot of luggage. 😇
There are two parallel to the Strip routes, one is Koval, which is east of the Strip (but the word is mostly out on that route so sometimes it is quite congested too especially if there is a lane closure on Koval), or the "Rat Pack" streets, S Sammy Davis Jr. Dr / Dean Martin Dr. west of the Strip.
If those are impacted you may push your route out further in either direction, east to Paradise or west to S Valley View Blvd. but at that point you're adding extra miles that may not translate into saved time.
Someone mentioned how long it took him to go from Tuscany to Treasure Island: to go from Tuscany to Treasure Island, what I might do is exit the Tuscany on Flamingo and go directly into Howard Hughes Parkway, all the way through to Sands Ave., turn left, and then you go straight through the Strip and turn left into Treasure Island just across from the Fashion Show Mall.
Sometimes you don't care about the delay and want to take in the sights on the Strip, but if you're in a hurry to get from one end of the Strip to the other, above are some suggestions.
And if you are on the Strip, don't stay behind one of those sandwich board advertising trucks - they drive very slowly.

K-pop is specifically South Korean popular music and is very americanized with a big US fan following.
Groups like BTS and BlackPink have songs that sound very western in influence. Many songs are sung in English or both Korean and English.
South Korea does everything it can to westernize itself and therefore make itself the exact opposite of it's neighbor North Korea.
K-pop male stars are usually heavily overworked because they're longevity for their billion dollars business is just a few years due to stringent Korean law about service in the military.
BTS for example arguably the most worldwide successful male K-pop group was unable to secure a waiver from the Korean government and the five members were forced to temporarily disband for a few years due to military service.
I'm quite certain the older handlers of these groups put intense pressure schedule wise to squeeze every penny out of them before their group becomes deactivated.

K-Pop is getting out of control. Agencies are signing kids at younger and younger ages and then subject them to years of dance training, vocals, plastic surgery and more. By the time they are put into a group, their management has hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars invested in them, and work the kids to the bone to recoup their investments.
Some of these groups have twenty or more members and the pressure to get every note and step perfect is insane.

The side routes I mentioned are good whether being driven or driving yourself.
Another one is the straight down Paradise route from the Strip to downtown, versus the I-15. Paradise is the shortest route that avoids LV Blvd., even if not always the fastest.

As far as the IRS thing you're just wrong about that or might have misunderstood the bank officer.
I routinely receive six figure bank wires, six figure incoming ACH deposits and deposit six figure checks or cashier's checks and no one is notified of anything. I routinely (or used to routinely, paper checks are less in use these days) write checks or get cashier's checks of six figures and no one is notified of anything as long as the sources for the cashier's checks were not cash over a certain amount.
The notification rules apply to 10K cash in or out. Not checks. Not wires.
There are specific reporting rules for all of this, not just what you think, heard or thought you heard.
Federal law requires financial institutions to report currency (cash or coin) transactions over $10,000 conducted by, or on behalf of, one person, as well as multiple currency transactions that aggregate to be over $10,000 in a single day.

MichaelBluejay is quite correct too in that the CTRs for the >10K currency transactions are not reported to the IRS in any case but to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). However, if too many CTRs are filed against a person, and the pattern of cash flows contradicts the general level of figures being reported in that person's taxes, the IRS might use these use to look further into his taxes and possibly audit him if there is some kind of contradiction going on there.
As far as checks, wires - non-currency transactions - these are not reported on CTRs. There has to be some kind of movement of >10K in currency to trigger a CTR. So, unless the check or wire was somehow funded with or converted to >10K cash, it is not getting reported.
And CChange is also correct that the government has a right to obtain your bank records, but not just "because" - there has to be some kind of evidence of wrongdoing ("probable cause") in criminal actions or be requested pursuant to some civil action, to support getting those records. And except in criminal matters where a search warrant would be utilized, with subpoenas the account holder must be given the opportunity to object, to quash the subpoena.
There is a pending case right now that might change that though, and allow the IRS to look through bank records without even notifying the account holder,
Supreme Court To Decide If IRS Can Secretly Comb Through Bank Records
but still, the IRS isn't going to do that unless it has some reason to believe that something is amiss.

No more printed out slips at the kiosks - the way the "Laurel Lounge" daily tier offer works now is by taking your Seven Stars card with your ID directly to the participating vendor, for $10. of food and $25. x 4 drinks per day. Diamond Plus/Elite card get the 4 drinks, no food.
It is interesting because depending on the vendor or cashier, if the food is a dollar or two more than the $10., you will either be asked to pay the difference or asked for nothing extra at all. As far as the drinks, it is 4 drinks maximum, with a ceiling of $25. per drink.
It takes a little longer at the register because the vendor has to verify your availability after swiping your card, but the job still gets done and at at least some of the vendors there is a Seven Star go straight to the head of the line courtesy.

How long is your average session as in the above? Just curious.

If I win quickly I usually just end the session. Such sessions are typically an hour or less.
If there is a lot of back and forth I might be playing for a number of hours.

This is one of the newer Polos, TRYING to look torn and weathered before you even have worn it. This one has a "Mended" look to it.
Another version is "Distressed" and looks like it has paint splattered on it. For $198. plus tax.
Not Purple Label so it's not going to be made in USA or Italy, but in...Guatemala.

Should go well with the distressed jeans that have holes and rips in them when bought brand new

I always have to get my jeans altered for length when I buy them, but the local place I went to to get them altered went out of business along with the pandemic. They also did dry cleaning, which was rarely a thing I would get done, if ever. I'm not sure I can buy any pants anymore. #distressed

Over the past few decades my last 20 polos cost around $750 plus tax. Golf Galaxy periodically has sales like BOGO for $59.

In Vegas, as in many other cities, there are Polo outlets where you may purchase a lot of Polo goods at discount prices.
But I rarely if ever see Purple Label at the outlets.
I got this Purple Label and the "Mended" Polo Shirt at the regular RL shop in the Forum Shops. Buying something or other makes the wins at the tables seem for real. I don't always do that, more often than not I just stick the cash in an envelope (The "Winner's Envelope") or deposit the check and don't think much more about it.

I always said that I should do that too but I don't think I ever really did it.
I once went on a date with a woman to a local bar and played some video poker. We said that if either one of us hits a royal flush that we will use that money and go to Hawaii together. We both hit a royal flush that night and then got married in Hawaii.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Yes, but sadly I was dealt the Joker.

She's still your wife, or is this referring to a past relationship?

I've been getting a lot of "single play" free play chips this trip. Those are where the maximum possible return is 100% of face value at a game like Baccarat, since they are one bet only and good only for even money bets. I've been averaging about 75% return on these which is very good I think. I haven't used them at blackjack because I typically just get stacks of 500 chips and very few 100s and without the ability to vary the bet properly, and for short sessions, such chips seem more suited for Baccarat.
If I had more I suppose I could try to vary 500 to 2500 on the blackjack, but usually I am getting just a few thousand dollars worth of these free play chips at a time.

Someone posted this on another forum. It's the kind of video you will (or at least I did) scroll through to see parts of it, I didn't sit through the whole thing. It's a Strip Poker tournament, all female of course.
