How To Evaluate Slot Promotions The Right Way

Should You Do A 10X Slot Dollar Day? I opened my email newsletter from the Borgata and read that I could earn 10X Slot Dollars on Sunday, March 20th from noon to 7pm. 10X SLOT DOLLARS! Not five, TEN! Yippee! My knee jerk reaction when I see 10X is that of course I’ve got […]
It’s Not Vegas, it’s me…or is it Vegas?

Believe us, you’re going to want to read this! Vegas has a dark side and can most certainly get a little messy: “This is how my love for Vegas was tested”
Welcome To The Sage Bar: Home To One Of The Best American Whisky Selections In Vegas

Photo credit: Aria Sage is a farm-to-table restaurant by Chef Shawn McClain inside the Aria in Las Vegas. For me, the food is good but very heavy. The best part is the bar. In my opinion, they have the best American whisky selection in Las Vegas. The whole of Aria gets a lot of liquor, […]

Las Vegas | Wynn Cooks Up Something(s) New

Anyone who knows Steve Wynn, the personality, knows that beyond being a perfectionist when finishing a project, that same drive continues as his properties operate and are broken in.

Hotel Review: Embassy Suites at the LVCC (aka A Gamer In A Non-Gaming World) – Part I

I am never one to say no to a last minute trip to Las Vegas. And especially seeing as how I’ve recently decided that driving that long beautiful stretch of highway to Sin City may not be all its cracked up to be thanks to the addition of parking fees and the reduction of intercity […]
Viewing and Wagering | The Biggest Weekend For Sports Fans In Vegas Is Almost Here | March Madness

In recent years, some people (like me) might say that the first weekend of March Madness has surpassed the Super Bowl as the biggest weekend of the year in Las Vegas for sports fans. Not only is there a larger crowd for the first weekend of the NCAA Basketball Tournament ( aka March Madness) but there’s a younger crowd filling sports books, bars, restaurants, nightclubs and casinos. Shows? Not so much.
My Stay At The Borgata With The MyVEGAS Rewards Program

I’m local to Atlantic City and I get mailers from the Borgata (but only room rates). I’m also Black Label via showing my Diamond Card from Total Rewards, obtained by purchasing the […]
Las Vegas | I Survived (Barely) The TI Super Bowl Party

*Disclaimer: I was an invited guest to this one of a kind sports spectacle by another attendee. Thanks to that guy for the weight gain. I think? I never really need much of an excuse to go to Vegas.

Continuing our conversation from Part I, Skilled or lucky, blackjack players are frequently barred from playing. This happens less often at video poker, even when players consistently win, although it does happen more today than it did several years ago. Why? I think the reason is that the general public thinks that card counting at […]
