\nJust a few things I witnessed and and or found interesting in my time in Vegas.<\/p>\n

\tA lady hit a 17,000 jackpot while I was setting next to her playing video poker. She said I brought her luck, as it was her biggest hit ever.
\n\t( Wish it could have been the other way around and she could have brought me luck )<\/p>\n

\tGamblers w\/ Poker players at the top of the list, have the most entertaining stories.
\n\t( True, False stories, don’t know, don’t care, still great stories They bet on things most of us never heard of)<\/p>\n

\tHaving craps or some other type of gambling expertise, brings people from everywhere and all walks of life together and gives them a common bond.
\n\t(The excitement of telling of your experiences ( normally this story is about winning) is exciting and it snowballs as it reminds someone else of a gambling story\/ winning experience)<\/p>\n

\tEverything is not bigger in Texas as proven by the 800 # pumpkin at Bellagio.
\n\t( We think 50 # watermelons are big )<\/p>\n

\tA person hit 200,000 + dollars in the high roller section of a strip casino. He was playing 1500 per roll on a slot machine. he walked out onto the floor w\/ 3 big clear plastic bags full of money and you could see the money in them. I would have at least bought a paper sack.
\n\t( And I thought the more you play the more you lose )<\/p>\n

\tCraps is a lot more fun at the table when your are shooting w\/ other GTC graduates.
\n\t( Its like you have a secret club of winners and the rest of the people at the table are just there to annoy you.)<\/p>\n

\tAll my life I thought the prettiest women were from Texas.
\n\t( That may still be true but I think a lot of them have moved to Vegas \ud83d\ude42 )

In the 80’s when I was assigned to the old Stapleton International here in Denver we decided that the rating system from 1 to 10 was totally inadequate. We revised it to break down the 10 category further, recognizing those ladies who truly stretched the upper limits of 10. There were still the 1 thru 9 and 10 was broken into three cat’s, 10, 10+ and 10++. Soon we found that unwieldy and revised it to 10, 20 and 30. That worked well.<\/p>\n

\tHowever when I’m in LV the rating system is definitely inadequate again. I see some that you can only rate as WOW<\/strong><\/span>. You can only admire them from afar lest the little woman takes umbrage.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The cocktail staff deserves a WOW also.
\n\tAs far as the other half is concerned, It does not matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
