Quick update in here as most of my updates are in my thread. Moose and JohnnieH don't have internet so will likely put in more detailed updates when they get home.
All parties are still alive and kicking, Moose, JohnnieH and wives went to Primm yesterday and rode the rollercoaster, at least Moose and JohnnieH did.
Last night I know they were partying at Bally's. Apparently it was pretty wild. I spent the evening at O'Sheas, I love that place, just a money pit of drunk tourists. Today, while I play the Venetian they are going downtown to play Binions 5K Guarantee...
Love Osheas as well but the last trip the donkey won when she called my all in for over $150 into a $75 pot with her favourite hand 10 9 s. My AA dropped to 0 when she flopped a full house.
I'll start off by saying this: I FOUND SOME RUNGOOD!!!!!!!!!!! Only once now have I left a table down money!
As Comp said, we spent Friday driving out to Primm Vally so we could ride the roller coaster at Buffalo Bills. It was the best RC experience I've ever had. An amazing ride!. After taking 2 trips on the 'coaster Moose finds a $2 craps table and buys in. I watch a few throws to get the basics of the game and then throw down a twenty. We watch a guy have the most incredible run ever. He threw for at least a half hour, turning my measly $20 into $49. Moose was up $70 and lady to his right turned $2 into $2200. No lie, I witnessed it with my own eyes. She just kept increasing her wagers and rode on the back of the extremely lucky roller. Uber-sick rungood! I leave the table up as a craps player never having rolled the dice!
As for poker, I've been mostly sticking to 2/4 Limit. I've been getting super paid off by the local nits and drunk tourists. Today was another good tournament showing for me as I cashed in 8th place out of 80ish runners in the Binnions $100 5K Guarantee for $245. I had the honour of meeting Charles "Woody" Moore at my table. Very nice dude. I also saw the sickest bad beat ever in a live game. It was AIPF: AA vs KK vs KK. The flop drops a Q109, and the turn was the Jack!!!!!!!!!! SICK SICK SICK SICK!!! I couldn't believe it. After the tournament I took my free bet coupon to a blackjack table and promptly won $20, and $10 for MrsMoose, as she rolled my double down. SWEET!
Obviously I'm still having a blast here in Sin City. Tomorrow the wife and I are going to Bellagio for the buffet and then Ceasars to watch the NFL games. Monday is Hoover Dam and then we all fly home on Tuesday.

We all went to the Hoover dam today, very cool for anyone who hasn't been there before. Pictures do not do that thing justice. There is also a new 4 lane highway and bridge over the river, bypassing the top of the dam, scheduled to open Nov 1st. It is just as or more impressive than the dam itself.
On the way back we stopped at some non descript casino and Moose gave us the advanced $1, craps lesson.. Woohoo, up $20. In fact 4 of us played and all made money on our rolls.. Easy game.. Thanks Moose.
Likely playing the Caesars 7pm $160., tourney as my last one in Vegas. Need to finish with a bang. 10K chips, 30 min blinds.

Is it only Bill's Saloon and MGM that has 50¢/$1 cash games? A relative is going to Vegas this weekend and will be playing a live cash game for the first time.

Bill's has .5/1, mediocre drinks but good comps and AA cracked from 10 am to 2pm, which makes the game a total rock garden with everyone buying in for the min. IMHO this makes Bill's the best for a total beginner, if the whole point is to try it out with minimum risk. You can transfer your comps to Harrahs total rewards or ask for a paper comp.

I believe so, at least on The Strip.
