Loose in Gambling Heaven, or Win in Gambling Hell?

[Trailer Park Casanova]

Which do you prefer?
It seems the nicer the Casino,, the tighter the odds, the more ya loose.
I like Bluewater. Even though it's a engine casino, and in engine casinos somethings missing (table games, pay for your drinks, bar closes at 1), Bluewater is the best of them all I'm told.
But, my point: ya get your ass kicked when ya gamble there.
Laughlin,, Harrahs has a nice casino but tighter than whale pussy and that's water tight.
The sour attitude from the bellhops when ya have to go up on the hill and get your boat,, and the tight slots,, and the tight rules on the beach,,, makes Edgewater take the nod for the better place on the river.
In Vegas,, the Strip hotels are nice, but have super tight gaming rules. Downtown,, gaming hell to some,, takes the nod if ya want to win some money.
I like to spend a day in the casino with guys who are like RiverDave. Play the horses, watch and bet a little of Football, listen to the band, drink a little of the good stuff, and keep the women with hands full of cash to wander around and play all the games they want. Yea,, fun day.
I pick gambling heaven, will probably loose anyway and have some fun, to gambling hell where the place sucks even though ya might win a little.
So let's read some stories. Everyone has 'Vegas and Laughlin stories.
What's your take? Loose in gambling heaven,, or win in gambling hell:

I stayed at Mandalay Bay, got drunk, and found out I had a credit card in my wallet. :(
That casino is tighter that a snare drum. :(
And that's enough about that.

Was in San Carlos,Ca last Tuesday night,drove 20 minutes to Pala (indian)casino to play some poker(hold em)and they don't even have poker tables!
Why?Because they can't take enough of your money that way.
I'm a Binions Horeshoe(down town Vegas) fan myself.I play black jack there and win about 60 bucks to support my poker habbit.Sixty bucks can sometmes last me all night at a hold em table.It's hard to beat Laughlin though,with the boat in the parking lot ready to go to Havasu or Mohave.

A few months ago we spent a few days in Laughlin, went to a concert and I didn't want to gamble anymore. Mrs Cp wanted to play more, so on our way out of town we stop at the Edge. She goes to the table (21) and I head to the bar for free drinks and dollar poker. Within ten minutes, I'm up 3000.00. Ya-friggin-hooo. Now I don't wanna leave but we have to cuz it's Friday and we have all the employees checks, it's payday at our restaurant :mad: So we have to go home. I could have stayed another week, but no, our employees actually want to get paid.
One week ago we're at the Bluewater. I REALLY want to play. I PAY for my drinks, spend HOURS at machines, still having a good time but I lose my a$$. What made it tough was the ATM machine is RIGHT THERE!!!!!m Oh well, we had fun on the water and inthe casino. :D :D :D

"Gambling Heaven" in Las Vegas is the Palms and the Hard Rock, both have lots of young, hot, fun female customers...winning cash is almost secondary.
The best gambling night of my life was at the Hyatt Regency at North Lake Tahoe...I couldn't loose.....at the poker table, a buddy named "Oz" was dealing...I played for a couple hours and was up about $1200, went to the Blackjack table a gal I was dating was dealing at, and I picked up another $1000, and drank too many double Crown Royals.
I went off to the dollar slots, not the big progressive ones, but one that paid $100 to $300 jackpots, and I kept winning $300 for every $10 to $20 I put in...all the while the cocktail waitress (who I was also going out with) keeps bringing me double crowns, and I keep handing her hand fulls of silver dollars and I clean out the machine. I've got about 20 trays of silver dollars stacked up (at $100 per tray, thats $2000) and as the attendent fills up my machine, I start playing the machine next to it, and I keep hitting $300 jackpots.
I go back to my machine after it's filled up again, and I keep winning....and keep drinking...and the next thing I know I wake up in my room the next morning, having no idea how I got there.
When I regain conciousness, I remember the night before, and think they probably cleaned me out after I got to drunk. I look around my room, and stacked on the tv is 42 trays of silver dollars and a bunch of red and black chips (about $6000 total).
I talked to my friends the next day, and they tell me how after I gave away $400 to $500 in tips to the waitresses and dealers, they had security put me to bed with my winnings. And they said the two slot machines were broken that night...I just lucked out.
I'll never have a night like that again!

My "Vegas Vacation" story...
Early '80's at Binion's Horseshoe. I'm with a Vegas local, we're waiting for the ladies, they're out "shopping".
He says "let's go check out the craps table". The $ 2 table. I've never bet craps before. Put my $ 2 on the pass line. Shooter 7's out and the dice come to me. Guy says "pick up any two and throw 'em".
I "pick up and throw 'em" for about 20 minutes. I made a lot of 6's. I'm nervous as hell, but I finally start looking around the table. Across from me are four guys that look dead like "Jilly from Philly" and his friends. Big smiles on their faces. I finally 7'd out, they told my friend that they had "done just fine, thank you".
They told me later that there was like $ 35K on the table while I was rolling. I didn't even notice, I was in a zone.
No massages or wardrobe courtesy of "Jilly", however...

How about this one. One my buddies 21st b-day he wants to got to Vegas. He steps in right off the bat and puts "1" ****ing quarter in the prgressive slots. The dumb shit hits three sevens. What does he get? Jack shit. If that num-nuts would have pulled his dick out of hand and put the "3" quarters in like everyone else he would have won the jackpot. Over 1 F-ing Million!
Could you imagine the night on the town after that. I could!
Oh ya... NoCal NoBoat, good story :D

I like handicapping the horses.
My best bet ever was a $5 trifecta that paid $1398 for a dollar.
They made me go home and get my Social Security card before paying me, OTB took taxes out right there, but I still left with about $5500 in my jacket... :D
