in Pennsylvania,Valley Forge

I managed to pull myself away from my ‘full house’ of a family (or rather, they pulled away from me, as my wife took the kids to visit a friend in Lancaster), so I finally had the chance to check out the new Valley Forge Casino. It was…. Okay. It felt like Parx did when [...]

Week in Review

Pioneer Club

by Marc on May 6, 2012

in Roundup

What a busy week! I started out at Caesars Palace, saw the closing of O’Sheas, spent most of a day working at Venetian while my car was operated on and caught the Kentucky Derby at Planet Hollywood and ended things with Floyd Mayweather walking by Miguel Cotto. This was also a fun week because I [...]

by Marc April 30, 2012
blackjack

After passing on the better video poker offerings at Revel last week I said that I would run a check to see what kind of blackjack payouts they were going to offer. The Main Street Haitian commented hearing on five hundy by midnight that blackjack payouts at Revel are 3:2 with dealers hitting on soft 17. [...]

50 Cent Blackjack!

50 cent blackjack

I still remember the first time I heard a song by 50 cent. I was driving down the mean streets of Springfield, MA in a Cadillac when a friend popped on the song “Heat“. He told me it was the hardest beat he’d heard in a while. It may not have been the hardest beat, [...]

Tosh.0 Goes To Vegas

by Marc April 4, 2012
Tosh.0 in Vegas

I don’t watch what many people consider to be good TV. When he’s not airing videos of people vomiting, one of my favorite shows is Tosh.0. Last night he went off on a rant about Vegas before showing a short video of himself playing on hand of blackjack at Mirage. This kind of reminded me [...]

The People Make the Plaza

by Denver Gambler March 8, 2012
Plaza

Before heading to Vegas, I knew that I was going to spend a lot more time downtown.  The last few trips I began to notice that i’m enjoying the vibe downtown a lot more than the Las Vegas strip, especially on weekends.  What I didn’t expect was to make it a point to go to [...]

Best Sportsbooks In Las Vegas

by Marc February 29, 2012
Venetian Sportsbook

Earlier this year Forbes put together a list of the best sportsbooks in Las Vegas. I speculated that it may have paid for by MGM Resorts, by their numerous sportsbooks on the list. Between that list and talking about my favorite sportsbooks in Las Vegas on the Betting Dork podcast I wanted to come up with [...]

Vegas Trip Recap, Part 3

Gold Spike

This is part three of a multi-part trip report from Las Vegas. Here are part one and two if you missed them. Otherwise, here we go. Sunday morning we begrudgingly woke up to check out of the Orleans in time. A call downstairs to request an extra hour to check out was denied, so we [...]

Vegas Trip Recap, Part 1

by Denver Gambler February 16, 2012
Lauren Conrad Hyde Las Vegas

I’m back from Vegas, I’m exhausted, I’m up on the house, I had fun, but no royal flush.  So that mission will continue.  As always, I had a great time.  I spent a lot more time downtown than I had anticipated and I really think I’ll have to stay down there sometime.  Gambling went very [...]
