Question of the Day - 16 August 2025

The first time I went to see Postcards from Earth, I think it was February of 2024, I was able to use the walkway.  But when I went in December of 2024 it was closed, and it was extremely inconvenient to have to walk outside even though the weather wasn’t that bad.  I was not given a reason why the walkway was closed but I was under the impression that  it was closed permanently, no one said that it was due to any short term factors.  If it  is true that it is generally open that would come as a surprise to me.

 Why have a walkway if it can not be used? Something fishy here...

I used the walkway when I saw the Eagles. It was great. But we were told by a security guard that it's closed when there are conventions going on. You do walk by the convention halls so I understand it would be really crowded & difficult to have the walkway open during those times 

When I saw Postcards from Earth last December the walkway was closed when I was going to the show, however it was open when the show ended.

What an incredibly astute question! I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting that. 
First off, a little about me. I'm a fard core AP player who has been doing Banking slots for over 30 years. My speciality was skill based slots which are now unfortunately extinct.  I  began my career as aBJ card counter but soon moved to FPVP.

VP went down the tubes slowly with schedule downgrades and a gutting of earned slot card poi ts for VP play. VP was sometimes excluded from the juicy promotion. The one thing I could dount on was AP playing banking slots. Back then there was no Chinese casino mafia sohuge plays were easy to find. Being the MVP of my high school track team really helped me cover ground fast.My biggest co.petwas Charles "safety pin" Lutz who wasn't a track athlete  ut had his own mafia of finders/ sitters. 
Everything changed the minute I found slot skill games. I grew up in an arcade and could destroy all games
 Game skill was definitely my asset.

My career pathwas a robot engineer for GM. 
Our team started up a new truck assembly plant in Fort Wayne Indiana. I was the 50th person hired out of 3500. G. trains you like no other company.  I'm a sponge and ate it up. Soon I was the head weld engineer and direct supervisor of UAW skilled trades on a robotic assembly line. I used this knowledge to eventually leave GM and return to college. Iwas a GA and got my MBA in Finance.  I started my own cou. Operated route that grew quickly as my games and other equipment had a reputation for always working. Being a game technician was huge to learning end understanding AP games.
My friends i. The AP community had warned me about playing where I got 86ed. This casino is well known for trespassing AP players. I started to only roll in and check and then maybe play the pinballs if they were pregnant.  This location was easy in and out if you had a rental car, which I did. I'm an expert at manipulating the slot card.

My wife and I went to the first 3 of 4 Phish shows at Sphere in April of 24. The first night, we used the walkway, and it was a nightmare. The thing was packed wall to wall with people. The temperature went up from the body heat. A few people we saw passed out or had anxiety attacks. We missed about half of the first song because getting in took so long - even though we showed up with what normally would have been plenty of time. Nights 2 and 3, we entered from the street, and it was easy-peasy. So, I don't know exactly what the deal is, but for sold out events, something about that walkway doesn't work well, at least if it's accessible to everyone. We were a bit surprised it was so crazy, thinking that the kinks would have been worked out with U2 (Phish being the second act to play the venue). I don't know if the occasional closures/restrictions are the answer to what we experienced, but I hope so. 

Since I appeared to be a big loser due to slot card manipulation I began to receive bigger and bigger offers. Free slot play free suites VIP check in,free food ,no resort fees, free concerts and free slot tournaments.It was the free slot tournament that lead to my demise. My play brfore the slot tournament was awful.  I did two huge denomination AP plays and got gutted on both huge plays. That is AP i. A nutshell.  There are no guarantees much like card courting. So I lost a ton Of money. My experience with this casino told me the free to enter but only for invited players was the biggest losers always do the best. I had a giant L on my forehead this trip so I liked my chances As predicted I took 2nd place in the slot tournament which paid $1000FP.I  alreasy was grinding my way back to profitability but probably got a little greedy. It is nearly impossible to use $1000 in FP and successfully manipulate the slot 

card. I only played AP games and turned $1000FP into a $1350 ticket and walked. That was a mistake.  They closed i. On me after that. 

A walkway, moving sidewalk or escalator closed around the strip?  Naw, that never happens... LOLOLOLOLOL
