In his last post Makiki Boy seemed to be moving on to higher ground. From his various posts he seems to be a level headed guy sharing his experiences. This can be said for many posters on this site. As illustrated many times, we can agree to disagree. It is unfortunate that profanity has taken this discussion to a whole new level. Yes, like you I am adult and can swear like a madman. Yet, as an adult, I can show restraint. Take it from another "Hawaiian." Makiki Boy showed a lot of class.
AS FAR AS BEING CHEAP! I have been fortunate to have a RFB at all of the casinos that we have played. Limo, suite, all food and beverage, spa, shows, and airfare (we're talking 2 first class tickets). BUT WHO REALLY CARES AND WHOSE BUSINESS IS IT ANYWAY. My wife and enjoy all the hole in the walls and they don't even have comps. In and Out being our favorite burger joint. Are we cheap. I don't think so, but we know good food and a great value. Many, many years ago, a friend of mine was one of the biggest players at Caesars, we met up for dinner. He promised me a great prime rib dinner (this is before Lawry's). Where did he take me? Jerry's Nugget - that dive casino with a great coffee shop just past downtown. You know what it was a great prime rib dinner and under $20 for the both of us.
Take a lesson from Sam Walton. Here's a guy that wore off the rack suits from his stores, drove his own truck and lived in a small town no one heard of. By the way, if you didn't know, Sam Walton of Walmart was one of the richest men in the world. Asked why he didn't drive a Rolls Royce? He replied that it have room for his dogs in the back seat. Sam Walton wasn't cheap but knew what it took to earn a buck! He was Made in the USA!
