My favorite cee-ment ponds23 July 1999
Dear Mark, Congratulations, Faye, for treating gambling more like a time-killing recreational activity. All gamblers when coming to Las Vegas should plan other activities like visiting the Hoover Dam, the many fine shows, shopping, health clubs, tennis or golf. Make it an enjoyable, entertaining trip, not all gambling. Now for my favorite cee-ment ponds. I'll first preface my choices by telling you that gray is my favorite color, and I love inclement weather, not the heat or intense sunshine of Las Vegas. But since you asked, my preferred choices, for all the wrong reasons, are the swimming holes at the Rio, the Mirage and the Tropicana: the Rio, not because they actually have a sandy beach, but because it's closest to my favorite buffet; the Mirage, not because it's the place to be seen, but because I kept a room key from a previous visit so when my friends stay in Vegas I can sneak in; and finally, the Tropicana, not because it has the largest pool or poolside blackjack, but because if you walk up to the Island Winners Club, fill out a player application, and gamble a minimal amount, they'll give you a room for $39.95. So based on what you just read, Faye, you really don't want my opinion. Instead, call the Las Vegas Chamber for hotel information at (800) 445-8864 and see what they recommend.
Dear Mark, Sorry, Robert, what you perceive as happening all the time is anecdotal evidence, not reality. Stay away from this wager!
Dear Mark, Anyone who has ever been chastised for hitting a 16 when the dealer shows a five can appreciate the anonymity of a slot machine. Your wife obviously prefers a non-threatening environment where her decisions won't be second-guessed.
I'm with you, Chuck. I would love to see
your wife experience table games offering excellent bets for the player,
but who can blame her? Why get verbally abused for faulty draws when a
slot machine will allow her the freedom to play her way, at her own
pace, without harassment. Recent Articles
