I just realized the Las Vegas Beltway is considered an interstate. How can it be an "interstate" if it just goes in a circle around Las Vegas?

In my 12 or so trips to Vegas and hours upon hours playing craps, and sometimes blackjack, I’ve seen dealers make errors on payouts. Obviously, this is part of the business, as mistakes happen. When a mistake is in the house's favor, not surprisingly, the players point it out and attempt to have it fixed. The same cannot always be said for times when it’s in the players' favor, I would presume (even though I point it out when I notice it, because I feel it would be luck and karma problems at the tables for me if I didn't). Since I imagine not all players are as proper about that as I am, my question is, what if anything do casinos do to account for that? Is there a built-in assumption that some wins will be paid out improperly and/or overpaid? Or do they assume it washes out, since errors in the house's favor might not always be caught, especially if it's a busy/hot table.

New Reader Poll

While trying to get to the June 2017 newsletter, I saw a statement that read, “The current newsletter and the newsletter archives are available to Diamond and Platinum members only.”  I couldn’t find any explanation for or about these specific categories.  Can you elaborate, please?

I had a question about the technology of the Fremont Experience. Isn’t it pretty dated now? Any plans for it being upgraded?

If you’re a Platinum-tier card holder staying at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, you can give the hotel your flight information and they’ll get your airplane boarding pass for you. Once while staying at Paris-Las Vegas, I asked and was told they didn’t provide that service. So it’s not the same across all their properties, or at least it wasn’t when I asked. Can you tell me which of the Caesars Entertainment properties will provide this service and what player’s-club tier status you need to have? Do any other player’s clubs provide this service? It’s a nice perk that helps make you feel a little special, and with so many perks being taken away these days, it’s nice to know what’s still available. Most of this information is not publicized.

What is going where the Riviera was?

What is the Dome at the Container Park in downtown Las Vegas?

I love Pai Gow Poker. The Downstream Casino, outside of Joplin, Missouri, has just changed from 6-card to 7-card. No commission on either game. The new 7-card is licensed by Galaxy. The wheel is the 2nd best straight. If you have to use the joker in the high hand, without having an ace or better in the low hand, the best you can do is push; you can’t win. That makes up for commission-free.

What's the latest on marijuana sales? Has any decision been made about when the dispensaries can open their doors to everyone?
