Gene would never have to worry about looking for another job! I also doubt that the Palms will be non-smoking in the near future. That said...The Golden Nugget is opening a 20 table room which will be non-smoking & when Wynn Las Vegas opens it's poker room it will also be non-smoking. The Bellagio & Mirage are non-smoking as is The Orleans & Sunset Station. And of course the newly re-opened Horseshoe poker room.

As to...

"Obviously when I posted details of 4 designs of each value (twice) last week hardly anyone took any notice as usual!!!!"

I knew about the four designs long before you posted about them. At least a month before. The cage supervisor said that there were only two made of the $25's & only the one $100. There were NO other $25's (other than the two) & only the one $100 on the tables & believe me I looked for 2 1/2 hours. So, if there are indeed more then they are being held back in the cage.

"Did you get them all from the cage or have to go searching?"

The main cage would not sell any chips. The poker room did sell some chips though.

"Did you see Josh there? He doesn't seem to have made it back yet - maybe he is still looking........"

Yes, I did see Josh & we talked & walked around for a while. He stayed overnight at the Las Vegas Club.
