Thank you Mike! You're right on about being tied to a table most of the time. The only time to do some "quick shopping" is before the doors open. I also agree that any "deals" are done in the hotel rooms and are "invite only" (to use casino terms).
I've only had a table one other year (last) and enjoyed having all the members I've met and became friends with over the years visit ME instead of the other way around!! It's a GREAT experience.
