Basically money plays are no longer an option and you have to give your social out if the casino thinks you’ll walk with 10k at the end of the day. You can read all about it here:

I guess I won’t have to worry playing the penny slots and all, huh?

A visit to architect Paul Steelman’s website leads us to this image:

which seems to be a rendering of an all-new Flamingo. Looks spiffy.

I, for one, hope it materializes. The new Go Rooms are fantastic and I have always loved the pool there. The Strip needs to maintain some nostalgia and this is a good sign that Harrah’s isn’t gonna blow up the pink beast anytime soon.

NYNY Shooter Police Report

A simple read-through of the above report says a ton about the edumacation of Las Vegas police officers. In it we find that Zegrean drank from a sink in the bathroom because “he had know money”. He then waited “till there was know children” on the casino floor before he started shooting.

Seriously?! “Know” really…seriously?!!?

This man:

Yolando Ferguson, was a basketball coach at the Doolittle Community Center and is accused of using his position to lure the kids to his house to create child pornography. Please help catch this sick bastard and let him rot in jail (or hell).

Any info please call 385-5555.

A brilliant PR move, I must say

The Las Vegas Review Journal recently posted an article with tourist reactions in the wake of the NYNY shooting. One man’s idea: add metal detectors to the casino entrances. To this, I say “No, no, no”.

I have nothing against public safety. I think metal detectors are brilliant for schools, airports etc. However, the Las Vegas Strip breathes an air of freedom and unrestraint that cannot be found anywhere else in the US. This would all evaporate were detectors to be installed within the resorts and hotels. The inconvenience would most definitely result in less traffic between casinos.

Inconvenience over safety?!

I’m gonna miss those frozen margaritas!

Multi-level progressive slots have been all the rage since 2005, so it’s a wonder IGT has taken this long to get the most popular game in the history of slots onto the bandwagon. Maybe they didn’t want to decrease the moneys spent on their MLP behemoth that is Fort Knox (which I love unconditionally by the way). Although we all know slot makers and the casinos care far more about you, the gamer, than the money. Ahem.

Anyhow, it’s finally here folks. The Wheel of Fortune MLP and I couldn’t be more…bored. IGT has spread this franchise about as thin as the hair under Trump’s comb-over. It needs some innovation. Some pizazz. A bit more interaction.

And the there’s this, taken from the machine’s brochure: A unique buy-a-pay feature sets the stage for exciting game play,
where players buy wheel pointers to get bigger rewards. Huh? So now I have to pay extra just to have a pointer on a bonus I’m already paying to get into?

Not that it matters what I think. IGT could release The Wheel Of Fortune - You Lose! Edition and people would still flock to it like a free buffet. Eh. I’d like to buy a drink please, Pat.

If this really was a “suicide by police attempt”, I wish they would have shot the crazy bastard
