My next two scheduled trips are for two weeks around mid September 2006 and the first 10 - 14 days in December for the NFR.

I have a Trip Finalized aswell for the last week in November/first week of Demember aswell. National Rodeo Finals..... should be a good week. Staying at the Aladdin for the first time........

Will it still be Alladin or Planet Hollywood?

Good to know. I do want to run into you one day. Maybe a coffee or dinner would be nice. Thanks for the heads up on your next appearances.

I will send you a message on here privately with my itinerary for next trip from B.C. to Las Vegas

This is the generic update for my fall trip. I will be in southern Nevada from September 16-28th. This trip will take me to the following areas to play craps:
Mesquite, Las Vegas, and Laughlin(by special request) When I have some better information I will update this thread.

Hi all, I will be in Laughlin the weekend of September 21-25th on my way back from San Angelas Texas where I am now for this next six weeks. B/Man does these days suit your schedule? I know you can't reach me.

Aha now I understand why you're not responding to my messages. I will be there for the weekend (at least Sat. & Sun.) when K. Rogers is at the old Flamingo Laughlin or whatever it's named now. I will rent a car I guess.

L/L will your daughters be there too? Enquiring minds want to know.

Who's the enquiring mind? a rodeo rider or just a farmhand? You know my girls love cowboys.

You bring the gals (daughters) and I will bring 1 or 2 rodeo guys and we can all go see Kenny Rogers on Saturday night. (B 4 your craps lesson) I haven't decided who's table we will be using. I will test them all when I arrive.

Vegas 4 Ever in December I am presently booked at Harrahs for 6 nights but that can change depending who sends me more offers. Don't remember the dates but I will quess since I can't get to the start date on Thursday I'll be there for the ending weekend and stay on for a few more days.

Thanks for the update B/B

Guess that should have been B/M huh!!!!

my late dad referred to that b/m as bowel movement. Lucky I'm a happy go lucky shit!

ha ha ha ha ha

so I assume that was a laugh huh

In an attempt to put substance back in this thread my next Las Vegas venture will be solo in December 2006. I am booked at Harrahs mid strip already but also have two free offers from The Golden Nugget and Fitzgeralds downtown. Harrahs is charging me $30.00.night for the 2 weekend hotel nights and comping the other four nights. The other two hotels are requesting no $$$$ at all for the room plus some other benefits. My thoughts because of the NFR being in town is to stay mid strip. Anyone else with a different suggestion post your thoughts.

more notes:

Saving a few bucks is not a consideration but having a great experience is. Now having eaten at Ellis Island that also is a reason to be mid strip so I can return for my food one night.... as is the fun of Toby Keith's restaurant at Harrahs' and Casino Royale's 100X craps table next door. Thats all the details I can think to post now. Anyone speak up and let me know what you would do.

My youngest (the 27 year old) is fascinated by you and your gaming. Is it possible you could put her under your wing in December during the NFR?

L/L unfortunately NO I can't but saying that maybe something can be arranged with another younger person who travels with her dad for the NFR. I will check. I am back on my Alberta ranch now but still settling in this week.

B/M I wil call you next week and we can chat. Thanks for trying to assist.

Well it is one month B 4 I return to las Vegas for the NFR and I am itching to go. Since my last trip I have revamped most everything I do at the craps table. I know what works on the practise table but what will happen at the casino. How will the different casinos handle my new betting schemes?

As always, I will record what happens and report back to this site afterwards.

Bossman. I too will be there. Have a good trip. What days will you be there?

I am free to go now but I want to go alone (for my NFR break) I do not have a responsible caregiver for my daughter until after December 6th. My plane is booked for the 7th and returns on the 14th to Calgary. My other information (above on this post) will have me staying at one of the Harrahs hotels on the strip. First night down I will be at Ellis island for the steak and then somewhere downtown where the stock contractors are lurking. (this is also where I expect to find some "buckle bunnies"

last post until I return around the 15th of December

I'm BACK!!!!!!

To say I am rested would be a lie. The last night I was in Las Vegas a 10" water pipe burst on the 35th floor. I was on the 23rd floor but water runs down RIGHT. No one in our wing could use our hotel rooms until around 05:30the next morning. Some other guests were moved but I was not because they ruled my room habital but NOT AVAILABLE go figure. To make matters worse I turned a bad night gambling at the tables to a major loss. ( I forgot all that I know) I was tired and went "brain dead" Anyways, "all you can do is all you can do and all you can do is enough" The money did belong to the casino* and I got to play for a year with it. *(All the lost money was won at an earlier gambling trip in Las Vegas) All my expenses were covered for the six nights with the Harrahs group and I did see a couple shows.

Prior to this on the previous Saturday I got left downtown with many other stock contractors and las Vegas visitors when they decided to shut down CAT transit without warning. There was a marathon running event in the morning and the strip was blocked off. Earlier this night I was blindsided by a fel
