If you are outside walking around especially after dark it may get cold in Vegas in winter, especially if the wind is whipping.

you may see people standing around pretty bundled up in Vegas, daytime, around Tacos El Gordo.
Venetian hotel-casino lays off some top-level employees
Less than 50 laid off - among those known to be affected by the layoffs are executives and senior-level employees in multiple departments, including hotel operations, marketing, celebrations/banquets, group meetings and casino hosts.

Anyone you know?
No, not the main people I deal with. Yes, some of those I know.
Of course Venetian claims the changes will help everyone including the players, but the Bottom Line is always what's all important, especially since Apollo took over.
Player banks $1.2M on $50 bet at Strip resort
I like that he chose to remain anonymous.
Your nice watch buys are more interesting than that slot win, as an example.
New watches are definitely exciting, for me. And I’m not the guy who walks into a dealer and pays full retail unless it’s for a watch that is already worth more than MSRP and I’m getting it due to some allocation.
Most of my timepieces I buy from private sellers by that I mean gray market dealers who are selling them often brand new unworn at a fraction of full retail.
All of my watches are worth at least what I paid and especially the vintage Rolex ones are worth far more and rising steadily.

I have played a lot of $50 a hand video poker but also would never do that on a reel slot.

I can tell you that most people I know prefer the $12 to $20 per spin range.
$50 reel spins can easily disappear a thousand dollars a minute into a 10% house edge, and for some reason the bonus rounds almost never seem to hit.
Going much over $50, even fairly basic line hits turn into handpay hassles that suck the fun out.
If you feel strangely compelled, I recommend a strict one-and-done policy.
Money in, spin. Cash out, win or lose.
I have bet numerous hands at $1250 a spin during a promotion somewhere on the east coast. I'm not sure how many people I had played for me on that promo, but it had to be 20 +.Quote: DRichQuote: SOOPOOIt’s never gonna happen to me. Can’t imagine betting $50 a spin on slot machine.

For example, Wolf still claims that this claim is inaccurate, but can't even remember why he believes so!
In any case, pushing dem buttons is a fate worse than death in mah opinion.
An example of what might happen if you’re flat betting big with not only no advantage but even playing badly (splitting 4,4 against a dealer 2, among other niceties):
Almost painful to watch, but entertaining. Apparently he has very recently stated that he is practically broke now and needs to give up gambling. Not surprising, the way he plays. There are theories that his gambling on Stake (some online casino) is fake, supported by Stake itself to promote itself, but within that video above his buddy does a few huge bets on Stake too in a Martingale catch up desperation play and the grim look on his face makes it clear there is nothing fake about the life savings he is wagering.
Has anyone here gambled on Stake? I did watch a video where Adin gambles on it and he goes up to betting $200K per hand (two hands) which is crazee no brick and mortar casino would allow that at blackjack. Is it because of some special limits he has due to large funds on deposit, or just anyone may wager up to the amount on deposit at any time?
In any case, if Adin is being paid to gamble on Stake or those funds are not genuine, there is no question that at Red Rock, it is real money for him. A Vegas casino could not fund anyone to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars just to play as a shill for promotion purposes, and the way Adin reacts to the losses makes it clear it's blood money.
In recent videos he has posted about being broke, down to his last $20,000. and needs to quit gambling.
Chasing.
Although, the majority of the casinos I play at would not allow open video filming like that. It might however be good marketing for them.
If an NBA arena is built there, it should help out Fontainebleau, but can that portion of the Strip really sustain another resort in the immediate future?

Looks interesting. I would expect it to have some space or astronomy based themes.
I was scouting at the Fountainbleu this week. Couldn't stand it. What a run down, depressed environment! I had to leave, and go back across the street to the Circus Circus so I could feel civilized again.
You can't really go into their two high limit lounges and say it is run down though.
Room rates are dropping though - at Caesars Vegas rack rate around $500. a night versus 5X that at this time last year, with Cosmo balcony suites (standard 730 sq. ft. ones) around $1100. right now rack rate, is what I read.

Apologies for offending Wolf on this one.

Hijacking and personal insult. Three days. However, I'm told we owe you three days for over-serving a previous suspension. So, consider that credit spent.
The goal MIGHT JUST BE to win MORE than two of these in ONE session. Or at least day.
The Strip casinos have their “weekends only” tables open so they are obviously expecting some traffic.
