Should Mr. Market Hold A Convention in '06???

[IIC]

Well...I nominated Park to be the "Event Coordinator"...Didn't see any objections...So I say we have it in Vegas...Park seems to have more connections there than Steckler anyway...My preference is Hooters...But I will go along with whatever Park comes up with...As long as it's not the Klondike...Although they do have a great 10 cent roulette deal...And free hot dogs out by the cement pool on Tuesdays...IIC

PLEASE! the Klondike (was across the street from the Mandalay) is gone with the desert wind. (I already pointed you to the Gold Spike!) Land on the Strip is worth $8M an acre and up. The new South Coast casino (Coast Casino company is now owned by Boyd Gaming - symbol: BYD) was just opened about *2 miles* south down LV Blvd from the Mandalay Bay.

This might another reason for some of you consider meeting in Vegas around May 15th. This is not a bad take:

I have a buddy who attended Traders Expo in LV this past December. He said it as a waste of time compared to previous shows. How does the Money Show differ from the Traders Expo?

<< My preference is Hooters >>

Chris Ambrose is now a host at Hooters. He used to be my host at the Luxor and is a nice guy. If you meet the RF or RFB minimums, he'll be sure to take care of you.

That's 'cement pond,' Jethro, not cement pool. <BG>

They are about the same...But the whole point is to give the Exhibitors a hard time...Especially the drones at the IBD Booth...I'll bet that you would enjoy that almost as much as I do...Can you imagine the look on their faces if we all show up at once???

Dave...I don't even know what RF or RFB means???...People comp me because I'm charming and I'm a Fun Guy..Not because I bet big bux...Doug(IIC)

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention the BEST part of these shows...The CyberTrader Hosted Bar...Great food and all the drinks you can handle for 2 hours.

R = Room
F = Food
B= Beverage (booze)

How much a player is comped (players rate for room, R comp, RF comp, or RFB comp) depends upon how much action you give the casino. For example, at the Luxor:

1) A $50 average bet for a minimum of 4 hours/day gets you the discounted players rate for the room instead of the rack rate;

2) A $125 average bet for a minium of 4 hours/day get you a room comp only;

3) A $175 average bet for a minium of 4 hours/day gets you a room comp/food/booze limited to the coffee shop and buffet; and

4) A $225 average bet for a minium of 4 hours/day gets you a room comp/food/booze at all restaurants, including the gourmet restaurants.

I was kidding Dave...But thx for the info...When I told you about the Bally's Deal...And yes...I'll admit that Bally's is a bit worn...I got it because of my "Charm"...The whole time I was in Vegas in Dec. for the Traders Expo I made one bet for 10 bux at the Race Book...my wife might have been a different story...I gave her 500 bux and never heard from her again...So I guess she was OK.

But these FREE offers we keep getting from the Excalibur...Makes me wonder???...Last time we stayed there...Did she REALLY win???...Doesn't make sense to me why they keep sending us these freebies!!!

[DSteckler]

<< But these FREE offers we keep getting from the Excalibur >>

Double check to see if it's really free, Doug. Manadaly Bay (same owner as Excalibur) mailed out what looked like free offers but the very fine print said it was based on how much play the guest gave the casino.

Yes...But I have a feeling my wife won big last time we were there and didn't tell me.

[ParkTwain]

The freebies indicate that she PLAYED big, not whether she won big!

True...But I only gave her 500 bux...and she never came back for more...Maybe she churned it for 3 days???
