Was a trashy triangle by the time I started frequenting Vegas in the late 90's. But miss it.
Steve wynn ruined di, vegas better off he never was involvedGreat story, Sol.
Hard to believe they remodeled Desert Inn about a year before they imploded it.
The chairs in the sports book were the most comfortable in the city.

Poker pro Brent Carter said he didn't want a job as a safety net because he wanted to keep the all-or-nothing mindset.
Too many gambless make poor decisions because new money is arriving in two weeks.
Show me a part-time gambler and I'll show you a full-time loser.

. . . Then at 4am driving to my air bnb I got pulled over by the cops for driving "erratic". Got asked a ton of questions, searched my vehicle, padded me down and such. I was on the good side of judgement as I didnt feel like having a drink tonight. But being up for 22 straight hours didnt help my look as the officers asked about my eyes about 50 times. They told me they were bringing in a drug dog as I sat on the curb and asked if the dog was going to smell anything. I said I had some summer sausage in the front seat. They didnt enjoy my attempt at humor.
I found it interesting how leading their questions were. He asked me if I had anything to drink yesterday just to use that as a reason to either make me take a breathe test or do the drunk gymnastics. Boy that was an interesting experience.
The whole event took about 45 minutes. Long day.
last time i stayed at wynn probably 10 years ago they would not give drink tickets for sports bets only horses. had to bet at least $10 per race to get a ticket.. Bet a bunch of races to get my daily drinks and won them all lol
As soon as the waitress left a horse player says to me. Hey go make a $2 horse bet. Keep the ticket and drink for the rest of the day for free as they never check to see the ticket.last time i stayed at wynn probably 10 years ago they would not give drink tickets for sports bets only horses. had to bet at least $10 per race to get a ticket..

I used to stay at Palace Station myself the 1st 3-4 years I would come out till I realized there were better chairs to sit and watch games for multiple hours of the day. Then started staying at the Hilton and South Point as not only were the chairs more comfortable but these were a couple of the only books in town with 10c. Hockey and Baseball lines. I'm eager to see the new upgrades at the Palace Station Book as I liked the restaurants in there a well. If you can sneak some photos of the book I'd appreciate it. I think there was a Subway and a hotdog cart close the last time I stayed there and the buffet right up the escalator but that may have been one of the worst buffets in Vegas at the time. Landers favorite Asian place, the STeakhouse, the Mexican joint were all top notch and my favorite every morning for breakfast or a drunken late night sandwich was the Grand Cafe. I believe they are in every Station casino around town. Good quality food at a decent price. Veijo had me say hello to one of the workers at the Steakhouse he knew and I ended up watching quite a few games bullshitting with him a couple of years in a row. He would come down on his breaks and sit with me. I forget his name now. I'm sure Arturo remembers.As soon as the waitress left a horse player says to me. Hey go make a $2 horse bet.

Well played sure.
Went to palace station sportsbook last night as this was the first place I ever stayed at in vegas. A very nice setup. Upgrades are very nice. Comfy chairs and a good betting board that includes the added games.
One good thing about watching a game at a stations sportsbook....when the crowd starts cheering while watching a game...and you are on the opposite side....you have a solid bet.
I'll get some pics. The subway is gone. The hot dog stand is gone. Even the poker room is completely new. Still only 6 or so tables but has been given an upgrade.I used to stay at Palace Station myself the 1st 3-4 years I would come out till I realized there were better chairs to sit and watch games for multiple hours of the day.

Isn't that true at any sports book? BTW good luck in your endeavors. I'm living through you vicariously. LOLAs soon as the waitress left a horse player says to me. Hey go make a $2 horse bet. Keep the ticket and drink for the rest of the day for free as they never check to see the ticket.

To keep moving up in stakes. I dont have a walk away amount in mind. To be at 5/10 in a few yearsWhat is your exit strategy for poker. If bad, what is the stop and if good, what is the walk point.
Made a wager at venetian using my card...2 drink tickets! Bally's. One bet one drink ticket.
Does jack Daniel taste better for free? Well for a dollar. The answer is jack daniels tastes great at any price.
The tip thing worked like gold. I tipped after my first bet at bally's. Next time I went to the window I got 4 tickets for 3 wagers. Tipped a couple bucks this time.If you have time, space out your bets. Or place the same bet a few minutes apart. Place two $55 bets instead of one for $110.
Ask for a drink ticket after every bet. Work the system.
If you tip a buck after every drink ticket, they won't give a shit about giving out too many. They will most likely give you double or triple next time you come up.
On a typical Sunday in the book in Vegas, I bet about $500. But come away with at least 10 drink tickets. Some dudes will go up there and bet $500 and come away with 2.
Just gotta learn to work the system.
Stop drinking, its for losers in life
Didn't Fedex nix kinkos?The late Sam Angel would take his drink ticket to kinkos and print a few hundrend of them
Good luck with finding lobster on a buffet brah
Being a little nosy, do you mind sharing where you are living and how those expenses are treating you?
GL, enjoying the thread.
Rio seafood buffet had "lobster", but remember it was like $40 bucks 2 or 3 yrs ago. I remember them being real small like 3 oz, I've had bigger Prawns.
Thought the Rio seafood buffet was decent food wise, but no value for the money.
Air bnbs. Can find private rooms for about $30-$35 a night. That's about my only expense besides morning coffee as comps are covering my food. I do a daily fast so I'm a one meal a day guy right now.Good luck with finding lobster on a buffet brah

Best and cheapest have been about 20 to 25 minutes from the strip. Found a great one out in Decatur. Tri level place. Bottom is a one bedroom place with full bath set up. Retired teacher who has a big fkn dog. Washer and dryer on the second level. I usually book multiple nights as it saves on service and clean up fees.Interesting approach. Do you find spots close to the strip? Are you needing to move around between places a lot?
