Have you stopped at Reno to pick up your money yet?

If it's the game I'm thinking of it's a random award for getting 4-of-a-kind, from 125 units to 1199 by picking one of 4 tresure chests that come on screen.

edit 125 units, not 250

eh, now it seems to me, the treasure chest can pay out the 4000 coin jackpot sometimes. anyway...

Last update for Sunday night:
After dinner, we walked down Fremont Street and watched the VivaVision...
Stopped off at The Cal, to see if we could gather that world-record-setting craps magic...HELL NO! Just a bunch of mopes and break-in dealers...lost $100 there
Can back to MSS, and got on the dice table, played for about an hour, and cashed out +$250!
Bedtime now!

Darn good name for a Strip Club. I'm just sayin'
There's emptiness behind their eyes There's dust in all their hearts They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

Afternoon update:
After Sunset, we drove over to MGM, to go to M&M World...
Then we came down to Stratosphere, played crapless craps for a few minutes, then up to the top of the tower watching the sun go down and MNF...
Next on the agenda is dinner buffet at MSS, then ride the monorail up to Paris and go up the Eiffel Tower to watch the Belaggio water show.

You know, this sounds like a very fun agenda. But I'm concerned about what seems to be a startlingly small amount of gambling:-)

Heh, I wonder how many tourists come for a weekend in Vegas, and blow their budget in the first 4-5 hours here?
