I'll be heading to Vegas on Sunday, staying at The 4 Queens initially, if you're anywhere near Downtown that night?

Or the funk, or some other F word. There's
a bunch that describe this scenario. I hope
you win this time, that way you'll go back
again.

People who win all the time are sooooo boring.
I look at this like the old Roman Circus. We like
to see blood once in awhile. I really don't want
to see you lose, I really don't. But I think there's
a lot of schadenfreude involved, and I can't be
held responsible for human nature. Its like seeing
a train wreck, you just can't tear your eyes away..

Schadenfreude is the key word in your statement. When I am playing, unless someone has done something to me personally in the casino or at the table, I will root for them to win - I think, as players in a casino, we are like a team against the casino ( true, we do not share the wealth) but, it feels good (at least for me) when I see someone winning. Perhaps we are cut from different molds - yes, I enjoy schadenfreude when, like I said, someone has wronged me in some way (yes, this is subjective) in the casino or at a table but, 99% of the time I am rooting for us all to win.

A lot of schadenfreude isn't personal, its more
of a 'better him than me' attitude. I'm just
kidding anyway, I really don't want to see you
lose. But leave your .45 home this time, just in
case..

What!!!!??? I can't believe you had never been, downtown is a magical place and everything is essay access, that's where my boyfriend and I start our new gambling journey. Our first achievement ”a free shot glass” :) from Fitzgerald now is ”the D”. We even met teddy there without knowing it was him.
going back the second week of September, can't wait I hope you can visit downtown and have a nice experience.

No car and with my g/f, so I have the opposite problem. I was planning to play poker Sunday night in particular, but there is a decent chance the game doesn't run. :( Unless you guys want to play wacky games not named Texas Holdem with me. ;) If the game doesn't run though, Sun. night may be good for me too. And my plans are still pretty open when the sun is still up, obviously.

If we can get a Pai Gow Tiles table filled with WoV members (no preference on casino, any Mlife or Total Rewards property, or even Palace Station) I'll fly to Vegas next Monday/Tuesday to join the fun.

This also enables aceofspades to recoup his PGT losses at Revel.

Anyone in?
