He loves craps and did well, so he had an overall exciting time. Answering my questions, K said no buffets are open, but more than a few restaurants are. I didn\u2019t think to ask about room service. He and friends stayed in a suite downtown at a casino that kept 3+ craps tables going. He also visited and played at strip casinos, some I favor.<\/p>\n<p>All casinos he visited limited each table to 6 players. Only one casino had plexiglas walls between positions. They never had any trouble getting a table, and K always got SL1, his preferred. K also said the minimum bet was $50, but he prefers tables like that, so there might have been some $25 tables. From what he saw, none were below $25 where he played.<\/p>\n<p>K liked the fewer players, since even at tables where every player wanted to shoot, the longest it took for him to get the dice was 30 minutes. K also said the players were all there to play craps and not mess around, distracting the shooter. He attributed that to the higher minimum.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there were no shows. Is Vegas now what it was 50 years ago?<\/p>\n<p>Since he drove, he could not say what it was like flying into Vegas. If someone has a report on Vegas air travel, I am very interested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dominator on August 22, 2020, 3:21 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Nice reports!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dom<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> BigCasino on August 23, 2020, 4:16 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Doc, Rose, Preacher\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I just returned from Vega$ and Laughlin 3 nights at downtown Vegas and 1 night in Laughlin.<\/p>\n<p>As stated the mask is mandatory when you enter the Casino area, and is strictly enforced.\u00a0 Most properties would only allow 6 players total, I have found 1 exception in downtown.\u00a0 I met someone that recognized an advantaged player and we talked a little while off the table and decided to try a ride on the strip. &#8220;lots of walking involved if all tables are at capacity&#8221; Did see and played on a table that had the plexiglass dividers I personally did not do that well was it the divider ?\u00a0 We left and did some more walking found a table that was at capacity and they do not allow spectators to crowd the table closely keeping everyone back 6 feet.\u00a0 \u00a0I did happen to notice a player that had a LONG rack of 25$ chips,\u00a0 I said let&#8217;s watch this game a minute.\u00a0 The next roll was a 2\u00a0 snake eyes the table went wild !\u00a0 The shooter came over and told us that is the 2nd time I hit the ATS !\u00a0 Several of the players had it for 20, 20, 20 since that shooter had previously hit it.\u00a0 \u00a0I did hit the ATS once at a property in downtown, for a much smaller amount.\u00a0 The 2nd day I hit the TALL.\u00a0 Looking forward to meeting up with everyone in October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on August 24, 2020, 11:56 am<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Rose and Doc love these reports and it ismost encouraging that we just might have some good conditions when we hit Vegas in October.\u00a0 Thank you Preacher and Jack D for the information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> HardNine on August 26, 2020, 3:57 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait for October!!! \u00a0I have a friend going to the class in October and he went last weekend, had a great time, and stopped in Laughlin on the way home. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We visited with a friend (not a GTC alum) and got a good report on the general conditions at the strip casinos.\u00a0 The report was general in nature: The casinos and hotel rooms were extremely clean Both customers and employees&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-craps"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10211\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10211"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10211"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forumarchives.tmsites.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
