Sounds like he uses his own player's card on the machines others play so he gets the comps, but I could be wrong?

I don't watch slots on YT.  Too many dog and cat videos to compete with, and just as educational.   :geekdanc:

He makes you use yours. Often the vids show that he tells them to put their players card in as they forget. Again not slot players, cause a slot player it's automatic to put your card in.  He also helps them when the card light is still red. Again, noobs so they don't understand that the red light means to insert your card until it turns green.

The slot vids I do enjoy are ItsVegasMatt as he plays high limit and post his losses. He bascially plays until he wins a bonus. He has the bankroll to do so.  I used to watch VegasLowRoller, but got bored after 2 years. I met him once also. I was leaving the convenience store in the Palazzo and saw him playing alone with no camera. He was happy to take a pic with me.

Other vegas YT'ers have branched out to slots like Pompise and JacobsLifeinVegas (adrenalineslots), but they're not as entertaining.

1 good thing covid brought was casinos allowing people to film gambling.  Esp for HI people to watch cause we have zero forms of gambling here.

FIFY

I like that he's teaching them to get the comps.  That's one way to minimize the damage to their wallets.   :thumbsup:

Since we ate breakfast at CrackerBarrel one day the Bass Pro Shops was close by so I told my family lets go browse in there then check out the Silverton Casino next door.  Silverton has an aquarium that would interest my 10 yr. old granddaughter and Bass Pro Shops have a bass aquarium where they test out the lures they sell and also a sturgeon fish in one of their ponds.

Turned out the sturgeon wasn't there.  Did it die or did someone eat it.  Anyway the family found some cool stuff for those back home.

Me?  I checked out the firearms section.  Lots of people looking at handguns.  Not so much long guns.  I checked the ammunition shelves.  Lots of .22 LR and magnum.  Mostly CCI and Federal.  Lots of hunting calibers and shotgun shells.

No 9mm or 5.56/.223 to be found anywhere.

Didn't check out Academy or other places.  I wasn't the one driving.

For ammo, we go to Ventura Munition. Their MRE's store is next door also. I was able to find the Pizza MRE.

Ive noticed that Bass Pro is expensive for ammo.But they have a huge selection of grills and gun safes. Too bad HI doesn' t have this.

Now that you talked about D Lucky I remember my brother and sister in law mentioning him.  The name just never connected until you described how he operates.

I think my in laws want to try it but there is no way in hell they have that kind of money, lol!

The amount of money you have to put up front is what my inlaws bankroll is for the whole trip. :rofl:

Yep.  Prices were high, even for 22 LR.  I was hoping they had Federal Punch 22 LR.  But all they had that was close to that was Stingers and they had only 4- 50 ct. boxes on the shelf.  No Velocitors.

I was going to buy the Stingers but heard that sometimes they cause problems in autos but are great for revolvers.

Yeah, I like visiting Bass Pro while in Vegas.  So much sh*t to look at. :shaka:

They must watch his vids. So tell them just go to the Wynn and play Top Dollar or Pinball for $200 a spin. Save the $1700 fee.  Cause even if they win a $2K jackpot, after taxes it's like $1500 and they're still down assuming they got the bonus on the 1st spin.

Explain RNG.  I did this with a few friends and they didn't book him. 

I budgeted $1K for Pinball at Resorts World. $200 a spin. 1st spin I got Bar, Bar, Bar. Which is $1K. So  profit of $800. But I was there to get the pinball bonus. So I spent that, plus my $1K. I have no regrets doing so.  Had I walked away with the $800 profit, I would be regretting it til today.

Are you talking about human waste used for composting,

or compost using humans?

Maybe the mob has run out of space in the desert. "dammit Tony, we dug another hole and there's already a body in it. Lake Mead water level might go down again too. Where else can we bury?"

I read somewhere that North Koreans use their poop to fertilize their fields.

With not enough food to go around and starvation a common condition, there probably isn't enough poop to do the job.

Maybe Kim Jong Un and his "elites" can chip in.  Those guys are nice and plump and have proven to be full of shiite.

Garan Ball Barans the produce come out nice, fresh, green, and nutritious.

All that Lobster, crab, sashimi, steak, and escargot crap will do the trick.

Also the city passed ordinance for stopping on a walkway. F1, surely had nothing to do with this...


ACLU is already getting ready to get involved to challenge this.

You may face arrest if you stop someone from walking in certain areas of The Strip.

You can stop walking to take in the view, snap a selfie, or look at Google Maps to find your destination.

However, if by stopping you cause someone else to also stop walking, then you are breaking the law.

Shot Show is this week.  We went to Vegas a few years ago during Shot SHow and didn't know it was on.  Maybe 2022 or 2021, but the venue was emptier than normal. S&W had a booth with banner and stuff, but no one manning it or products in it.

It's at the Sands Convention Center, which is next to Palazzo/Venetian.  The after party is typically at the Venetian bar in the middle of the casino.  We didn't see any famous gun people, but a few CCWing.  Even though they ban guns on the property, their security isn't scanning people and making them check their firearm.  But they do X-ray bags if left with the bell hop.  Even gun parts (mags included) and ammo are banned on the property and you must check them in with security.

The pedestrian walkways can be a madhouse to cross.  The walkway bridge from NYNY had a person with a karaoke machine and he was singing at the top of his lungs (and he was a horrible singer).  Granted he set up his machine and table on the side but even that obstruction of space made it a pita to navigate for the crowds of people.  This was besides the couple of homeless with cardboard signs asking for handouts.

The Caesar to Bellagio bridge had that 3 card monty card game puke who set up his table more towards the middle of the overpass.  That caused really big problems and a bottleneck, forcing people to stop and see wtf he was doing.

And again there was the couple of homeless with cardboard signs......

Street level has a lot of the showgirls, costumed characters, and hip hop pukes clogging the walkways by Bellagio Fountains and around Planet Hollywood areas.

By the Fountains there is a hip-hop group that actually asks the people for a $20 donation...........

I'm wondering if they can fine the people who are responsible for fixing the escalators on the walkways?

Seems nonfunctioning escalators cause more "stopping and standing" than the barkers trying to sell attraction tickets and VIP club access passes.
