Quote: GWAETrivia question.:
What happens when a member of your group tells other people in your group that it is ok to smoke near the elevator, in the "smoking lounge"?
I think the entire hotel tower gets evacuated, along with half the casino, while Axelwolf screams "Deal, dammit!" louder than the siren and recorded order to leave (which is saying something).
I could be wrong. It's not like I was dealing at the time or anything. Or the person with the misinformation in the first place.
I'm still laughing.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Betcha dey be fakes.Quote: ThatDonGuy. However, I did discover something; apparently, it is not true that all used Venetian casino dice are destroyed, as I found a shop that sells them.

Another fun day out with WOV members and guests. Thanks to all who planned and coordinated the get togethers. I also appreciate those who contributed to the dinner. Safe travels to all returning home and I look forward to the next one...

Soon after everyone got to the suite I was informed that there was a cop and a security guard outside the door looking for someone. I went to the door and sure enough they were looking for some guy (I cant remember the name right now, but that's not important) They asked me if the guy was in the room. I told them I had never heard of that name and I was certain no one by that name was there. I thought for sure they must have had the wrong room but they were adamant they had the correct room. I assumed there was no one there by that name, but I thought who knows since I didn't know everyone that was in the room at that time. I asked them what this was all about. I didn't quite understand 100% what they were saying, but it had something to do with someone being robbed on Fremont street and the thought the guy was in our suite. I told them that was not possible. They asked if they could come in and search. I said, "no, and the reason why is that I don't want you guys unsettling the guests." I told them to wait and I would double check the room just to make sure that no one snuck in somehow. They were nice about it and agreed. I closed the door and asked around as quietly as I could. As I was doing that, I got to thinking It must have been connected to whomever was in the room just before us. That made sence, since the room was not ready until after 3:30, so the people before us must have checked out fairly late. I went back out side the room and told them what I thought. They called down to the VIP check in, sure enough, they were looking for the guys who's name was on the room prior to us.

I thought the same thing, however, I'm thinking it could have been someone who added a name or something like that to the room. They definitely had the name associated with the people in their before us.Quote: RigondeauxKinda crazy that someone who had a giant 2 bedroom suite supposedly robbed some random person on Freemont.

You guys are welcome for the dinner!😁 Don't say that my Lottery Predictions never helped anyone! 😁(My contribution to the dinner happened because I had promised that I would pay $100 towards WOV Spring Fling Event if none of my Lottery Predictions came up within two weeks. Although a lot of my Predictions were one number off, 101 came up and I had predicted 111 for a prime example, and my predictions came true three times in the third week, yikes, I still lost and paid the $100. Hey, would you look at that. 100 is only one number away from 101, one of the winning numbers! 😁
In both The Hunger Games and in gambling, may the odds be ever in your favor. :D

Glad everyone was blessed with my presence. Hope you enjoyed it.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

...next year maybe Axel doesn't do the trivia, or lightens up a bit to let some people score more than 4-5 =D. I got 3, I'm pretty happy with that lol. There were others around giving up around question 8-9 =P.

Probably best just to hand out the questions like a test. Public environments are too noisy to verbally ask questions. It just took to long for the questions to be asked 5 or so times each. I'm pretty sure that's why people said screw it and stopped answering.

I suggested to The Wizard we have a "party" and a friendly poker game in a suite, like our crew oftentimes does for Superbowl. Our last one turned out really well, like usual. Mike thought that would be a good idea so we went forward. He said he might be able to hook us up with a nice setup downtown, and he did. I rounded up the rest of the stuff we needed. MaxPen helped me bring the stuff there and take it home. GWAE sent out lots of very annoying PM's(I probably got way more than you guys did) and let everyone know when, where, and how. Just busting your balls GWAE, thanks for doing all that, it helped a lot. Of course, you FKed up and told ZK the correct room number (-;Quote: ZenKinGIn all seriousness, it was nice seeing everyone again, I always have a good time.

Lot's of people contributed to the cost of booze and food(THANKS!!). You over tippers will be happy to know that we left $20 for the maid. And I even went back the morning to collect some stuff(the $20, all the robes, slippers and towels (-; ) and even clean up good.

3 others and I got to the room like an hour before Wizard & co. even checked in. We just hung out for a while in there. Meanwhile Wizard was downstairs trying to check in, lol. In hindsight, seems like the maids were a bit confused why we were there, but I guess they didn't want to disturb us because it was a fancy suite and didn't want to ruffle any feathers.
Trivia was hard AF. I second the motion to have it be a "test" style, where the questions are already printed on the paper. I got 0 correct. Should make them easier or at least a different subject. I'll go head to head with any of you suckers on bird law.
I still got like 20 beers if anyone wants to buy them, only $7 a piece. Act now! That's a big discount, compared to what you'd pay on the strip or a bar/nightclub. I only accept dogecoin for payment.

Reel 'em in was my answer, too, fwiw. I'm 90% sure it was out before Jackpot Party. But I think we're talking definitions of video slots here. It was evolutionary, moving from reels to screens, and I genuinely don't know where to draw the line. But it wasn't my quiz, so whatever Axel said is good with me.
