The Adventures of Lemieux (split from Atlantic City Forum)
Most casinos that I know of Disallow you to wear a hoodie while in the casino even just walking through (poker room might have an exception) Sunglasses are NOT allowed at most casinos while playing blackjack.Quote: sodawaterWhat are you talking about? This is definitely false. I have played blackjack and other table games at Borgata in hooded sweatshirts. They don't allow phones in hand or earphones in your ear but there's no rule against hoods.
I have almost clear like sunglasses slightly tinted and you can clearly see my eyes and they make me take them off at some casinos, even if I say I have a prescription. Last time they hassled me was at Golden Gate. I was playing with members from the forum. Fist shift let me get away with it but only after hassling me, the 2nd shift was not to friendly about it.
Quote: sodawaterYes. And I have never been told to put my hood down, or ever seen or heard about anyone else being asked to put his hood down. What about hats? Plenty of people in AC wear baseball caps. What about in the winter? Plenty of people in AC wear big, hooded jackets. Casino entrances are right off the boardwalk. I have walked down the boardwalk into plenty of AC casinos in frigid weather wearing a large coat with a large hood up and never had anyone ask me to put it down.
Maybe you just look really, really suspicious?
Do you even read what I write? Are you just READY to argue my points that you don't actually read what I say?
I wear hoodies all the time there. I've said this before. They just don't allow the wearing of hoods on the floor. Maybe, I repeat MAYBE, they allow them on the casino floor of borgata. Nowhere else. If they aren't saying anything to you, they are failures as security guards.
Hats, strangely, are allowed. Even if they effectively serve the same purpose as a hoodie.

This has been the complete opposite of my experience. Never been hassled once about wearing a hoodie or sunglasses. Maybe I look really trustworthy.

I think security has better things to do than enforce a dress code that may or may not exist.

They mostly stand around. I think they can do their jobs once in a while.
I would like to see a hidden Camera show about gambling. See the reaction of a pit boss when a guy brings in a laptop and set it up on the blackjack table. Or have a guy with a, I'm a card counter T-shirt on.Quote: sodawaterThis is how I picture Lemieux plying his trade in the casinos of Atlantic City:

Lemieux, how many years have you been playing blackjack in AC?
Quote: 1BBLemieux, how many years have you been playing blackjack in AC?
Steady blackjack probably around 9 months to a year. Poker about 9 years so I've been around.

How about "1-10 spread....your wife." Lol
Quote: Lemieux66Great. Now I might feel compelled to post more about this.
I love this thread - keep posting
Quote: onenickelmiracleYou should just go back hopping from table making those bosses your little trained monkeys until they just give up following you.
Yeah. You should also ask them to unfreeze your comps at least 4 times per hour. Try to spend the comps in less than $1 increments. How much is a pack of gum from the gift shop?

I do this at places where you need to print out comp vouchers. I go to the store to find out how much, then have that exact amount printed out. Its because I'm cheap as hell and hate spending money if I can get a comp for it. Life is a hockey game sometimes

the borgata gift shop is 2:1 on comp dollars so that isn't a good idea.
I think the cheapest thing you can buy with comps at borgata is a single banana at bread and butter. He should buy 1 banana per day for 300 days.

No! He should get there at the beginning of the shift manager's shift and buy 1 banana every 1.6 minutes for 8 hours. Because, remember, the shift manager has nothing better to do than freeze and unfreeze comp accounts all day.

A major factor in my mind is the jitney fare. 4.50 total back and forth. So I want to get enough things to create value for that fee.

if you're really worried about value you should take the free total rewards shuttle that drops you off at harrahs across the street from borgata

People tell me there's a short way to get from Harrahs to Borgata but I can never find it.
There is a field you walk through. People walk it all day and you just can follow the people.Quote: Lemieux66People tell me there's a short way to get from Harrahs to Borgata but I can never find it.
Just read the route recommended and it goes from Borgata race book to tolls left to the field.
Secondly, you can buy senior/disabled tickets at Rite Aid and check cashing places ten jitney tickets for $7.50. I have been given them before and either pretend I'm retarded or offer to help old people pretending their my grandparents.

I've done that once. Too many critters.

No need to pretend anything. They can't ask you about the nature of your disability.
I was just kind of kidding but they will give people a hard time sometimes. I am very uncomfortable using them but a friend insisted I do. You definitely get the look.Quote: AxiomOfChoiceNo need to pretend anything. They can't ask you about the nature of your disability.

I have a buddy that got a service vest to put on his dog so he can take him anywhere. He's not disabled but they can't ask.
Quote: rudeboyoiI have a buddy that got a service vest to put on his dog so he can take him anywhere. He's not disabled but they can't ask.
Although, they can ask what service the dog provides. Most people don't know this though.
FWIW, a lot of people do this. They actually don't have to let the dog in unless it performs one of a certain set of services (ie, they don't have to let companions pets in) but, again, most people don't know this. I know of one restaurant that is very specific about what they will and won't let in, complete with an official (from the government) sign explaining what does and doesn't have to be allowed.

The trick is to get the dog not to take it off ;)
Quote: NareedThe trick is to get the dog not to take it off ;)
I thought about getting a service vest for my cat but figured that might be a problem. Maybe I could get like a service iguana.
Lol
Just tell them I crap in a bag man. I wear diapers man.Quote: Lemieux66Too damn smart and good looking to get away with being disabled thank you very much.
Lol
Quote: onenickelmiracleJust tell them I crap in a bag man. I wear diapers man.
You mean I should tell that to the jitney driver too?
Yes but who else are you telling this? No wonder you're on the Shit list.Quote: Lemieux66You mean I should tell that to the jitney driver too?

Get a service pet rock. No food, no water, no toys.
And it does useful stuff, like holding doors open. It can even keep papers from being blown off.

I think you just stumbled on the way to bring the pet rock back to market.

Lots of luck. And I want 20% of whatever you make ;)

Girls. It's my pickup line obv

I hate people who do this since I was bitten by a dog. Also I would not want to eat in a restaurant that allows dogs.
Quote: djatcAlso I would not want to eat in a restaurant that allows dogs.
All restaurants allow service dogs.
Quote: NareedAll restaurants allow service dogs.
But based on the past post, how many are actually service dogs and not some persons dependency to animals at the expense of others?

Just spit out my beer!
It's just a way so people can take their dogs with them. I don't necessarily mind however im sure this costs the taxpayers money somehow.
Quote: AxelWolfA lot of times this service dog baloney is a crock of scheisse. I hate to out my own mom but, she has a snaggley little yap yap dog she gets to take everywhere for no other reason then it can detect a panic attack, which my mom has never had.

Its going to screw over the people who actually need them such as blind people or vets who require a service dog just to get out of the house. They will be required to carry more paperwork or have some major inconvenience to weed out the riff raff of people just wanting their pets everywhere.

<shrug>
I've owned dogs most of my life. They used to hang around the table and beg for scraps. One even spent the whole meal under the table lying at my feet. Then I'd bring her plate to the dining room and we ate "together" (she still begged sometimes). It doesn't bother me at all.

I agree, these people suck. Adam Carolla constantly rants about them. I ascribe it to our society's increasing levels of narcissism and "me first" attitude.
