All swing shift employees had to be at work by 6 p.m. and were scheduled to work until 4:30 a.m. Reason? The entire strip is locked down by 7 p.m. and nothing moves across it or by it until sometime … Continue reading

Poker is always a wild rush from Christmas to New Years….yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone thinks it’s dead because the holidays are upon us and people are home with their families…wrong! The expected rate of visitors is somewhere around 1.5 million … Continue reading

Sometimes I think there is too much to write about and sometimes there is nothing to write about…this post is lengthy…perhaps it’s because I had a great conversation with two people that I respect and admire after we clocked out … Continue reading
Merry Christmas! 2001

Ted Forrest spot checks the cash
I dealt the $3,000-$6,000 to Doyle Brunson, Ted Forrest, Eli Elezra. H-y-s-t-e-r-i-c-a-l! Doyle had a brick of $100 bills that were rubber banded into $5,000 bundles and then bundled together…he also had three sets of two brown envelopes that were … Continue reading
The overview
We live in a frightful day and age – a time when our government is making excuses for presidential behavior. The behavior isn’t new or different but lies were told under oath to our nation by someone that’s supposed to … Continue reading
Do you speak Russian?
Another Notaris tale – $200-$400 half 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud 8 or Better. Apparently Notaris was having a problem remembering which game was which. Even with the 4″X 8″ game plagues, he still didn’t remember.
