LVA Chat Room

Haven't been here for a while, but I can see the LVA staff has pretty much given up on keeping the FFA Las Vegas Oriented. It seems to have turned into a chat room mostly for any subject other than anything to do with Las Vegas or gambling.

That being said I had found joining the paid side was a waste of time due to the generally negative core group that frequented the board. More than just a few bad apples with bad attitudes.

Have they died off yet? I hope so.

The coupon book use to be a great value until so many abuses. I could speculate on how a specific group of locals got a hold of the cash of unsold books and proceeded to go on repeated coupon runs until the casinos finally said "Enough is enough" and put a screeching halt to the match plays in the then pocketbook of values.

I even noticed in the latest travel channel special AC wasn't even allowed to plug the LVA, they just mentioned he was a publisher and former card counter. (2012 release).

Jean Scott was still plugging her couponomy, and Bob Dancer gave his spiel on how he and his wife won so much money, and of course, buy my software!

Vegas revealed or how to beat the casino, whatever.

Whatever gets the hits, right boys? Those little fractions of a centavo add up over the years. Thank you Google!

Time to get a real job?

Oh well, it had it's uses. But ya don't know what ya got till it's gone.

I will say, Thank you for the good old days, It brought us a lot of useful information and was well worth it. Thanks for ruining it for everyone you dumb heads, and you know who you are.

wishing someone would die sounds like something a bad apple with a bad attitude might do. completely uncalled for.

tl;dr

This board has gone down hill, but not because of a lack of Vegas content. I see it more as a lack of interesting content.

I find this thread interesting because of the use of the phrase "dumb head" by an adult. Also wishing death on people that you feel are dumb heads or poopy pants if you will.

Bangendorf, please post more often.

Do you think he may have meant "died off" as in lost interest or found another site?
Like a bar's business will "died off" when a new one opens up.

Boy ,that 6/5 blackjack really is bad as poo,but that ellis island steak special is the bomb!

Lets face it,sometimes theres only so much that can be said on a single topic or two. The ONLY thing that keeps the regulars here is carrying on conversations with others. Imagine going to the same persons cocktail party and the only thing talked about was a single subject or joining a book club and only discussing the same book for years on end. If you ended all other "chatter" here,most if not all the regulars would leave,and along with it all the knowledge that is collectively known drom years and years of experience and intimate knowledge of the town. I blieve PJ alone could write an entire book on the subject.
Thats my take on it anyway. If you want strictly vegas i think open vegas is like that,i know it used to be,thats why i left along with many others a long time ago.

Oh,and if you have any particular questions on something specific,why dont you ask,i'm sure it will get answered in relatively short order.

Everything changes, nothing stays the same.
Anyone who likes Vegas must accept that.
When comparing apples to apples LVA is doing better than ever.

I actually agree about the content on the Free for All side. I rarely take the time to read any posts. All you see is fighting among the board trolls and the Rizzo stuff.

................ but these still ARE "the good old days"
for the thousands of newbies who discover Vegas every year.

and for them, it still DOES bring "a lot of useful information" and still IS "well worth it".
