Thanks for the D recommendation. I will spend some time there next trip -- end of the month.

It's at least worth checking out.  It's not everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure.  The downstairs casino is LOUD and full of bouncing boobs on the dealers and mediocre video poker at the Long Bar.  The upstairs casino is where I spend most of my time (at the Vue Bar for the good video poker).

If you haven't been there since the Fitzgeralds days, though, go check the place out -- you'll barely recognize it.

As to the high limit rooms, sure, or they could open a private table. They could put the celeb in a room we couldn't even see. Question is how much public exposure the celeb wants or tolerates. Some of 'em probably like to mix with us riff-raff, although that has never happened to me.

Apparently, even celebs with low standards still have some limit.

If anybody knows where one can find bouncing boobs AND a fair gamble, please send me a PM. Don't post it or nobody will be able to get close to the table.

I wasn't saying that they were, but I recognize too that not everyone who plays at a table game wants a stripper for a dealer.

Bard: they advertise that all of their blackjack games are 3-2...  :)

I suppose I would not want that, either. Probably would take away from my concentration.

"...  :confused: Why does the count always seem to be TWO??" lolol. :P
If you place a statistician's head in dry ice and his feet in boiling water, then on the average he is fairly comfortable but his comfort has a large variance.

Most people have more than the average number of legs.

Just call me the "quad kickers" of deuces wild and double bonus poker.

You have to adjust the counting method. You use letters instead of numbers.

Touché.
