Ha ha, great! Are you going to write any more about your adventures in card counting? Did you make it out to the Hacienda? Where did you play?

Did not make it down to Hacienda , played mostly in /around the strip !!

Some of the bigger houses, and a few I never heard of . Mostly 2D, 6D, w/ some single deck at the Tez( had the pleasure of chatting w/ Casino Manager-Chris)

Caught some good cards on a few good bets , then just played small w/ the GF. Booked a nice winning weekend !! ( could a very easily went the other way !)

Hit the Palimino and the Rhino :) . Also took the GF to see the dudes next door to the Palimino, was a different experience to say the least, and also very humbling :l.

Then did some Salsa dancing next door at the Golden Nugget, I believe??

What exactly were the circumstances that caused you to be flat bet a few times? I was spreading 1-16 all over town recently and never got a second look.

Do tell. The first trip to vegas is special. Subsequent trips may be better or worse, but the first is dazzling. NO matter what you've heard, no matter what you've read, no matter what you've seen on TV, Vegas hits you like a ton of bricks once you get there.
