The following thread is NOT about the Turd and his war crimes

I can't talk about it because I am talking to a Vegas aviation attorny tommorw. 

We went to Vegas 3 times in 2025, we just go for 3 to 4 days at a time, since we play video poker weekly at our local casinos, I'm ready to go home after 4 days.

 

We stay at the M Resort frequently because of the comps we earn at our local Penn Play casino, we also like the rooms and the games there. Dealers are also very friendly, last month, I was having a blast playing 3-card poker; my wife likes to play, so I sat with her. I don't play the Pair Plus bet, and I typically take heat for it from other players, the dealers, and sometimes the floor person, all in good fun. This last time at the M, I was fooling around with the dealer and would bet the Pair Plus on occasion, when I didn't, and ended up with a straight or a 3-of-a-kind, I would flip my cards and yell, "idiot!".  

 

We also stayed at the Rio and Plaza last year. I liked both, but my wife didn't care for the Plaza; we may stay at the Rio again. I love their video poker offerings, but the slot club offerings have been underwhelming.

 

I haven't been to the Strip since the mid-90s, when I lived there, friends or family would visit and want to go.

 

We have a comped cruise booked for 2026, and we're booking a trip in December to San Jose del Cabo. We are also looking to return to Japan in the spring of 2027, so I think we'll get to Vegas a couple of times this year. We've been thinking about Reno, but since we're still working, we tend to run out of time every year to do everything we want to do.

I would like to give a quick thank you to Kevin for this thread. The somewhat divisive title notwithstanding, we now have a thread with 29+ posts, in the SINK  that is not about politics and has not devolved into ad hominem attacks. It's kind of nice. 


Except for Tom's pitching a stupid and gratuitous insult, of course. But thank you.

 

We've all ("we" being the sane, non-MAGA contingent here) been irritated by Miller's habit of trying to dominate the Sink with thread after thread after thread after thread on the same topics. You bring up the start page, it's Miller Miller Miller Miller Miller. Which is what he wants.

 

You politely and repeatedly pointed out to him that doing that is counterproductive if he really wants to participate in discussions. He pissed in your face because he just wants to bloviate and pontificate, not discuss anything.

I thought you might be referring to Trump's war leading to flights in and out of the Caribbean being canceled, which would result in severe disruptions to Delta's services overall.

Think about any of those YouTube videos you see of passengers having a meltdown in an airport, now imagine, rather than it being a passenger it being a landside airline employee, and it was directed at you. I can't say anymore.

Taking on the lawyers employed by a major corporation is like fighting an angry elephant with a pea shooter. But maybe you can talk them into a settlement.

 

That said, if I had been in such a situation and no permanent harm was done to me, I would just write an angry letter to customer service and leave it at that. Life's too short to spend any of it within smelling distance of lawyers.
