Politics? On a Las Vegas forum?

Yes, I do plan to vote and yes, I do belong to a political party. Needless to say, I will avoid the LV free for all until after the election. If you want to complain about the state of the country and who is the better candidate, leave me out. This is about LAS VEGAS!!!!!!


BernieB, you probably can see a political discussion coming, most often by the Topic. Don't open it. Even what starts as a friendly Vegas-related question or comment may deteriorate into vitriol, usually by someone (mostly the same people) who gets their kicks by hijacking a good post just to bait others. When this occurs, the end of useful discussion has come. Don't open that post again.

BernieB, don't WAIT for the "info" you have an interest in. ASK. Many people post Vegas-related questions and Trip Reports on the FFA.

If you can, spend the money for LVA membership (what we call "the paid side"), look at the other Forums, and post your questions or comments on one. The trolls don't frequent the paid side nearly as much, so it is less likely your post will be hijacked and you'll get the info (or opinions...there is a difference) you are seeking.
The mods tried to make this a non political forum and it was completely dead. They realized we actually like the political post. This used to be one of the few places for LV information, now there are a million sites devoted to Vegas. For us old timers you can only discuss Blackjack, LIR, Craps, buffets, long hauling, street urchins, Ellis Island BBQ, paid parking, full pay VP and shows so much. Once you have been to Vegas 3 or 4 times it is old hat IMHO. I still go but like I said it is pretty much more of the same.
I literally just come here for the "delete" thread so I have pithy memes to post on Facebook. And I occasionally read the political stuff and laugh. And post a trip report for those couple of sods that come here for Las Vegas stuff
I'm just here for the coupons.

That is very true. I will just add "the twenty-dollar trick" to that list. LOL

But if someone asks about any of that, members will happily provide info, opinions.
OK,fine. What's the worst buffet?
Lousy VP pay tables in 'Vegas?
The most crappy cab company?
Worst cocktail service,most smoky casino ,dirty as hell,slime-ball patrons,darkest casinos?

Make it a poll for the non-political people. Just downtown,I don't do the strip.
#1 Worst buffet? The Fremont
#2 Darkest casino? Binions
#3 Most smoky?The Fremont
#4 Most scary? Some of the off-strip bars, maybe E. Carson.
Yes. I have been on here for years and at times, it becomes frustrating. But if you do have a Vegas question, this is the place. I hate the politics too. And yes, they are here in the same incessant fashion as the rest of the world. I made my own personal post with a "scream" to vent my frustration at state of world affairs. Hey, I needed to rant somewhere and this seems to be the place. Lol.

Believe me, i guess politics and Vegas go hand in hand. I have surely had quite a few "mental check out" poker sessions lately. I can't wait for this crap to be over. And like someone said though. The politics will continue after the election. I either ignore or take the opportunities to spout off what I'd like to say, but can't. And even that is still more filtered than I'd really like to be. This crap is insane making. I am so over it. I just want to live life without this us and them crap. We are the freaking UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WHat freaking part of that has this freaking country forgot.

Video poker, video poker, anyone!!!!

As my last post said. I just want to watch freaking football and you can't even do that now!

I LOVE video poker!
I just play 9/6,maybe 8/5 bonus.
Bob Dancers DVD is good home practice.
Main Street Station is my go-to VP place. The Plaza has 9/6,reportedly the DTG as well.
I love to play "Pick 'em" at The Fremont. I found just 4 machines there for that in ALL of Las Vegas.
Used to be at New York New York.

I played regular dd vp when we first came to Vegas, but now I play more of the specialty machines. I used to play multi strike super times, then we also found double down stud and then ultimate x. Of course, I take swings but I win much more consistently than slots. I will find a hot new slot but especially at the local joints they get hit pretty quickly.

I have recently taken a renewed interest in blackjack tables. Switch blackjack is my best relaxation table when I can get on a good table on a slow afternoon.
