Week In Review

Holly Madison Blackjack Planet Hollywood

in Roundup

This was a week to remember why I love Las Vegas. A friend was in town from back east and I spent most of the week on the strip drinking, eating and gambling.  I live out in the burbs and don’t do that kind of raging often – even if the raging was subdued.  There [...]

More Complicated Slots Aren’t (Always) Better Slots

Hot Hot Penny Slots

by Marc on July 29, 2011

in Slots

If there’s one thing that’s obvious any time you step into a casino, it’s that slot machines are  very popular and make the casino a lot of money.  Slot machines have been a casino staple since the 1950s and 60s.  However back then, they were there to keep wives distracted while men played the tables.  [...]

Week In Review

The week started off all fine and dandy with a nice amount of action across the ECG family of sites.  Unfortunately ECG, itself, had some technical issues later in the week that I’m still working on.  Hopefully, it’s nothing major.  It’s fathers day and I wish all the fathers a Happy Fathers Day!  Let’s just [...]

Sahara Blackjack Table Small

It’s been a fun week and kind of busy week.  For the first time since I moved to Las Vegas, I went out three nights in a row.  This doesn’t include trips to the strip where I’ll stay there for 3 days.  I got to see some cool people and eat some good food.  I’m [...]

Week In Review

by Marc January 31, 2011

So ECG has been updated a bit.  I’ve removed a bunch of clutter and hopefully made it easier to find and share things.  One of the things I’m most excited about is the share bar on each story.  It should be easier to share info than ever!  This week I’ll continue the updates by going [...]

Gambling on the Strip

by Marc December 29, 2010

I’m just off of a long weekend on the strip in Las Vegas.  We stayed at Planet Hollywood and the hotel, itself, was more of the same.  I love the hotel, but everything inside the room leaves something to be desired.  You can see the highs and lows on Vegas Chatter. I gamble differently when [...]

G2E Summary

by Marc November 30, 2010

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to go to the G2E expo in Las Vegas.  As I detailed on Vegas Chatter it was a great experience.  I was able to see some of the behind the scenes things in the casino industry that I’ve always been curious about.  It’s nice to see one [...]
