I'm disappointed Nathan was suspended. Dont really think he got his money's worth for whatever he did. I find it funny he says he is 32, old enough to have a 16 year old kid. Either he hit puberty at 16, or he got lucky in high school. His mom got pregnant at 15, no telling who or how many Nathan basted. There might be 5 or 6 Nathans signing up here a few years from now, and they'll all be accused of being Nathan or Kentry.

I said I was old enough to have a 16 year old teenager, not that I was actually a father of a 16 year old. I pointed out that when my mother was my age, (32) I was a teenager in high school. I said "The rude taxi driver was asking me, a 32 year old adult who is old enough to have a 16 year old teenager personal questions that was really none of his business.. I don't have any kids.

I don't think he was even attempting that. I don't like the ban but I guess we are all entitled to our opinions. I read it as that is what hr thought zuga meant.

Why is teliot restricted? Did he request it?

teliot got three days for personal insult, per the suspension list.

He impugned the owners' integrity.

For what it's worth, here is a list of suspensions by year.

Year Suspensions
2017 8
2016 48
2015 77
2014 162
2013 68
2012 47
2011 27


As you can see, 2014 was a banner year with 162. That averaged to 1 every 2.25 days. Since then we've been on a happy decline. If we stay on the current rate, we should see only 19 in 2017.

Yes, I'm fully aware LD's is totally nude. That's where the 18-20-year-olds get their start. They don't serve alcohol but there are ways to get around that.

Las Vegas can only be totally nude if they don't serve alcohol. There is one place in North Las Vegas that is totally nude and sells alcohol.

That would be the Palomino Club, which I like much more than Little Darlings. I found Little Darlings to be too loud and dark. It is also infested with bikers and people that look like they are pimping the girls. The Palomino is more open and friendly.

I 1000% disagree with the Wizard on this. If it makes any difference, my GF disagrees with him as well. The girls at LD are way better quality, and there is less crime in the area. Race may come down to your decision. Palomino Club almost zero white girls and some older chicks. LD's Mostly white girls and mostly young chicks.

If you like you some chunky Mexican chicks, Palomino all the way.

I'm not the biggest expert here. I've been to each club once. When I went to the Palomino it was mostly white, not that I'm saying that gets or loses points.

I think where we would agree is that LD gets the younger girls. However, they were not very conversational and just wanted to get to the VIP room or don't waste my time. As mentioned before, I did not get a good vibe from the men there. I got the impression that if they didn't know you then you weren't welcome. I was expecting my car to be vandalized in the parking lot when I left.

So you played one time, ran bad, and now you are claiming it's rigged? Sounds like selective memory.

You need more sessions before you can make a claim.

I agree, but for better or worse these clubs help constitute and reinforce the notion of Las Vegas as "Sin City."

It isn't, of course: we now have these clubs and Las Vegas style casinos all across America.

Maybe the Las Vegas chamber of commerce should come up with a new slogan, about something truly unique to Las Vegas.

We assume that is what the member is asking for. If a member wants to just not post for a while, with the freedom to return at will, then just don't post.

Excessive? If someone can't control themselves to not post, which is all a self ban does, there's probably a much bigger problem. What's 5 or 10 days going to do when they didn't even have the self control to just not post. It should be longer and should probably include a total IP bling from accessing the site if that was possible.

Before we had the 30-day policy, there were situations of members alternating between resigning and asking to be reinstated on a weekly basis.

We offer resignations as a service to those who can't control themselves to just not post. However, we're not going to let it be used like a light switch. Thus, the 30-day minimum.

I've heard that people who self-ban from casinos have to jump through hoops to undo that designation. Forum members who want to come back, after drama-queening their way out, should be forced to do an eating challenge or privately cut us in on some juicy AP.

I heard casinos' self-exclusion program is a minimum of 1 year (or maybe 3 or 6 months?). Seems similar enough to the 30-days "rule" here. If someone has a problem and needs/wants to quit, then forcing them to stay out for X amount of time makes sense.

Don't bring out of state bottles/cans. Just what you find in the three casinos trash cans.



I always wondered about that. When going to Detroit I thought about bring 1000 cans for a quick 50. Is that not allowed?

Is taking bottles from garbage considered theft?

If they're from out of state, you won't get any money for them.
