I haven't been since 2015 and I only want to visit again so I can take a trip to the Grand Canyon and place a sports bet or two.

I ...Thanks, Chuck, you know you make a good point. I guess even 2/4 games have changed over the years. When I think of fun 2/4 games, I am thinking about the 2/4 games at MGM that really got me hooked on poker. But back in those days, they didn't have a promo drop--no promos. The people who played that game were almost all tourists looking to have fun. There were some locals--mostly casino employees who were looking for a way to drink for cheap after their shift.<br /><br />I guess unless I find a low limit game at a room that doesn't have promos, I can't find what I'm even looking for.<br /><br />I definitely wouldn't have been missing my heavy jacket at that baseball game!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-47567896901369436892017-07-13T17:05:14.089-07:002017-07-13T17:05:14.089-07:00Hi Rob Maybe you do not have as much energy as you...Hi Rob Maybe you do not have as much energy as you use to. Surgery will do that to you. I was going to the WSOP and after I checked out my flight, rooms, and food budget I figured I saved 2K in expenses. I stayed home and donated to my local casino. Yeah Vegas just does not do it for me anymore.edh530https://www.blogger.com/profile/17350460500843652702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-8312515514176257322017-07-13T11:09:16.798-07:002017-07-13T11:09:16.798-07:00Hey Rob,

Heck, at the Mirage's $3/$6 games a bunch of players stay right up until 2pm, then leave for 4+ hour only to return at 6pm and once again play to get their aces cracked. <br /><br />Sorry I missed you at Bally's That mixed game was not one I wanted to play in anyway. But maybe I should have invited you to go to the 52s game with me on the 4th, the fireworks game. It most definitely was not cold.<br /><br />ChuckChucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-34171762525640362032017-07-12T22:54:33.290-07:002017-07-12T22:54:33.290-07:00That's a shame, Dave, sorry to hear that.
