A Vegas Institution
White Cross Drugs opened in 1955. It stands on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Oakey. The drug store was a Vegas Institution. A place you could go at 3 in the morning to buy a bottle of aspirin, or a bottle of Jack Daniels. Unfortunately the drug store closed a couple years ago, […]
Was She Talking Like a Woman or Talking Like a ...
Using stereotypes to say “women are this way and men are that way” in today’s political climate is a formula guaranteed to generate multiple negative comments. Rightfully so. There is very little interesting where you can say that every female (or every male) is a certain way. There are always exceptions. With that said, there […]
Is it Wrong?
I’m glad my articles are now posted on the GamblingWithAnEdge.com website. That provides a forum and often people take the time to respond to what I’ve said — or to comment on other responses. A while ago somebody posted there, “Is it wrong to see someone drop money and you don’t tell them?” I want […]
Sydney Phillips, Come Play Blackjack!
Sydney Phillips, a 7th-grader at St. Theresa’s private Catholic school in New Jersey, wanted to play on the boys basketball team after the girls team was discontinued.

Losing Perspective
As I mentioned last week, Bonnie and I recently cruised the Mexican Riviera. One purpose of the trip was so that Bonnie could rest. She had a fall not so long ago, straining some muscles and tendons in her back, and the doctors have said the best thing for her is to rest and to […]
When Vegas started changing
I remember when I first noticed it. About 10 years ago my friend Minnie (who has lived in Las Vegas for 40 years) had a meeting at Mandalay Bay. She was running late, and pulled into valet. The valet said, “Are you staying in the hotel?” She said, “No, just here for a meeting.” “I’m […]
Millennials not very interested in gambling, st...
Millennials are not much interested in slots. They play table games at about the same rate as older gamblers, but half as much on slots. They would be more interested if there were either a skill component, or more social aspect.
Six-and-a-Half Little Words
I was having my morning bagel at the coffee shop when I saw two boys sitting at a table waiting on their parents, who were in line. The older boy was 7 or 8 years old, and he was teaching some card game to his little brother, who looked 4 years old, 5 max.
