        My most recent trip to Las Vegas was the first time for me that gambling was not the primary reason.
        It was for a concert at the Orleans off of the Blvd.

        I avoided the Blvd. like the Black Plaque and looking back that was the most enjoyable trip I ever had.
        I'll be back in August for a concert at Caesar's, but that'll probably be the only time I'll be on the Blvd. I'm staying off the Strip.

            I have a HUGE bucket of coins that I just built up over the years that is collecting dust now. Come home with change in my pocket through the years and throw it in the big coin bucket that is in my closet. Bucket is full today.

            I almost want to donate it to some old fart that lives to play the coin slots in Vegas. Probably have $500-1500 in coins in that bucket. Hard to tell the amount? Heavy lift though.

                    Oh yeah, that reminds me of casino other new scam. When cashing out your slot winnings at their “cash out” machine, they’ll keep the cents. Man, talking about “nickel and dime” your ass.

                        I remember back in the day half the fun was slamming quarters into the stot machines from the little quarter coin buckets you have next to the machine. Vegas sucks now for sure!

                          I could see a Seinfeld episode about Kramer and Newman trying to take advantage of that and collecting as many $.51 tickets as possible...

                              That's my neighborhood! There's a sleazy little poker room and 20 minutes north of PCB, in the old dog track at Ebro. Easy pickings there but you have to keep an eye out for the dozen guys who know wtf they're doing.

                                  Yeah, I used to hold my own playing 21 double deck games as I was a decent counter. Still lost of course against long-run unlimited casino bankroll, but I have some nice runs. Now its virtually unplayable and crap on the strip. I had to rely on online 21 to win it back how sick and sad is that?
                                  And the weird thing is it worked that night, sad can't play the real thing but shit whatever works.

                                        That’s really cool. The Dunes. What a great time in the history of the city.
