Just Back From The Barbary Coast

Wow! What a great stay in Vegas. I just love this town!

Stayed at the BC. What a great place to play. Great table games, Great rooms, super friendly dealers and staff... Great Food...great atmosphere...not so good comps, but that's fine.

After getting pounded at slots and craps all over Vegas, we decided to just play at the BC.
Results were great. We cleaned up at roulette time after time. Ran into the hottest craps table I've seen in quite awhile. We played very conservatively at the craps table because we were burned so bad everywhere else. Too bad because our winning session at craps would have been over $2000 instead of $450 if we had played full odds instead of playing scared. When will I learn?

Roulette was kind to us at 11 out of the 12 sessions we played. Just couldn't do anything wrong at the wheel.

Meantime got over to the Palms for the Playboy chip release and got a full set of these great looking chips. ( Could have done without Heffner's picture plastered on so many of the chips).

Got to see Gene Trimble. Thanks Gene for your help with the Playboy chips. Also got to chat a bit with Pete and Chantel Rizzo, always a pleasure of course.

Great weather last week to go with great gaming. Did I mention the food? Well I will right now.

Wednesday...Rio seafood Buffet, $26.00. Thursday...Aladdin Spice Market Buffet, $28.00 Friday....Delmonico's at The Venetian, $90.00.
Saturday...Bellagio Buffet, $65.00.
Sunday....having my stomach pumped by a Gastro-Intestinal crew at the local hospital, Priceless!

Just kidding about the GI pump. I did however put on about 27 pounds in five days.

Will stay at the BC for now on. Of course we will be staying at the Venetian in April because our optical group is footing the bill for that.

My buddy played in a Texas Holdem Tournament at the Four Queens Wednesday and I was able to watch his play for awhile.

Picked up a few chips from a few casino's ( Hey Phil, I got you a FQ poker chip) and just really had an all around great time.

As I have stated before, my life consists of two parts...the part where I am in Vegas, and the part where I think about being in Vegas.

Time to return to the real world now. Will visit fantasy land again in 204 days.

But who's counting?
