Gambling:
Husband and I enjoy playing together at the $3 craps tables at Casino Royale and the Westin $1 table.
I tried the huge penny WOF machine in the Flamingo but lost about $40, so quit.
I enjoyed sic bo at NYNY—did not find that game anywhere else, I just love to play it—went up and down and finally cashed out only $2 down.
Roulette at Westin—think I finally cashed out about $5 up—played a long time on $20 for the 25 cent roulette.
As you can see, I am a cheap gambler!!!
Husband’s craps:
B Coast: Husband had good luck and met some great guys to play craps with each morning at Barbary Coast—they had fun on several mornings, meeting up at 10am. Husband had signed up for a 2-hour lesson on dice throwing before we left. It was taught by Beau Parker (has written a book & website is dicecoach.com) and is now retired. He picked up my husband and took him to his home for the lesson—met his wife and learned a lot about stats and throwing dice. Hubby had a great time there and thought it was worth every penny.
TI: He enjoyed the tables at TI the best...as recommended by Beau.
Luxor: He enjoyed the dealers here the best—said they were very friendly and did not hassle the players as at some casinos...has had this same experience with friendly dealers here in past years.
C Royale: The pit boss was a jerk—did not get his name—but he is the short, older one and he liked to harass my husband when he saw he sets the dice, just trying to break his concentration. But we still enjoy playing there since it is so cheap and I refuse to play anything above $3!!!
I enjoy watching him play at the higher limit tables. This trip I was mainly with our friends mid-morning while hubby played craps since they preferred to sightsee—and that was fine with me—I knew ahead of time and had planned accordingly.
Sam’s Town: Went here on our "rental car" day just to check it out since Bo likes to play here...did not win anything; our friends were with us and we did not want to spend all day here since they do not gamble.
Overall he did leave a few hundred in Vegas—he would be up and down—but loved it. I think he was too intent on practicing his dice throwing technique this trip instead of just playing—the past few trips he has always left at least $1,000 ahead.
