For Thanksgiving my family decided to celebrate in New Orleans.  I have relatives down there and everyone else met there to celebrate.  Being the cooperative group of people they are, they agreed to accompany me to Harrah’s New Orleans one evening.  After getting killed on blackjack, I settled into some Video Poker.  It was located [...]

Good Times at “Absinthe”

Gazillionaire Small

I’m not a show guy. At all. In fact, I’ve never been to a broadway show and I’ve only been to one Vegas show (Peepshow). I have little patience to sit still for an hour or so. That being said, I was offered the opportunity to see Absinthe at Caesars Palace this week and I decided [...]

Resorts World Small

Unless you grew up in New York City, you probably don’t consider the four boroughs outside of Manhattan to be New York City but they are. While Aqueduct Raceway in Queens, NY may be 30 minutes from parts of Manhattan it certainly is New York City. Last weekend Resorts World Casino opened at Aqueduct Raceway to a crowd of over 65,00 [...]

This weekend makes me feel happy that this East Coast Gambler has moved west. My friends in NY, NJ, PA, MA and CT are all complaining about snow. And not this Snow. Meanwhile, I can’t stay inside. It’s been 80 and sunny. In fact, the football games stink and I’m cutting this short to go [...]

Las Vegas Sign Small

I’m back from my three night stay in Vegas and still nursing my Vegas hangover.  I slept probably a total of 12 hours, gambled a ton, and consumed an impressive amount of food and drink.  Needless to say, it was a great time.  The one thing about Las Vegas is that every trip is unique.  Here are some initial [...]

Las Vegas Sign Small

As of the moment I’m writing this, I will be in Las Vegas in 48 hours.  That means it’s Vegas crunch time.  Five Hundy coined the term ‘Vegas Lent’ for the 40 days leading up to a Vegas trip and how that’s when you get really excited in start planning.  If 40 Days is Vegas [...]

It took a while to ease into the week after spending the weekend in San Francisco. San Fran immediately became one of my favorite cities in the country. I can’t wait to go back! Back in Vegas, I was looking at jury duty for the first time but that was cancelled and if you follow [...]

Just Horsing Around 

by Denver Gambler August 9, 2011
Sigma Derby Small

There are certain things that make or break machine casino games for me.  I always prefer tables, but sometimes it’s fun to just sit at a machine and relax.  For me, this normally means video poker.  But with video poker pay tables getting increasingly worse, I’ve had to stretch my wings.  I tried slots, but [...]
