I have slowed down because of my current losing streak and still I will pass the 200 mark, good Lord willing.
Will you share your annual excursions?

Used to go to Vegas three or four times a year until 2 or 3 years ago. Now go to Laughlin, Reno or Tahoe for a week every or every other month or so. We live in the Midwest and have to fly in. Also, we still work so have to use vacation days. Thinking of a long trip to Vegas soon. Miss it.

We live in central Pennsylvania. Travel to A/C at least twice a month....mostly the Borgata. $1-5 JOB is the game. Vegas 2-3 times per year for 4 or 5 days each. We refuse to gamble in any casino that is run by a state lottery LOL. So Pennsylvania and Deleware casinos (at their 80% payback rates) are not an option for us.
Remember ..... life is only what you make it. Never settle for second best. Bill

I also travel to NV, from the Midwest, approximately 8-10 times
annually. My average stay is five days. During a gambling adventure,
I normally play VP 8-10 hours daily. When I was younger and not able
to travel as often, I sometimes played longer hours each day.
Flying in a big bird for 3 1/2 - 4 hours, is my favored mode of
transport. I tried a broomstick once but ran out of gas over Utah.
in case you are unaware; there are NO casinos in Utah! {{O:
My VP playing USED to take place approximately 80% of the time in
LV, and 20% of the time in Reno. Formerly, I only patronized Reno
during the summer months. Now, my play is about evenly divided
between the two cities. I try to alternate visting my two favorite
cities every other trip.
This past year I was in LV in January, April, July and September, and
will be back again in December. I've visited Reno in February, May,
August and November. I've also done some gambling in St. Louis in
May and September and in Phoenix in March.
I never gamble in nearby IL or IN casinos, and almost never outside
of NV unless I'm on a Cub's baseball vacation in St.Louis or Phoenix.
I also still work fulltime in my office......at least when I'm home
for a short work-break (though some of my colleagues might take
issue with that statement). {{O:
Several friends have suggested that I move to NV and save the time
spent airborne, as well as the plane fare. I am reluctant to do
that for a few reasons; not the least of them being I am concerned
that was VP available to me every day, I might lose the great rush
derived from anticipating my next trip to NV!

Live in Central Florida so it's 2 hours to Hard Rock Tampa (too busy
this time of year and poor pay schedules) and air fare is too much to
LV to go very often, 9 hours to Bilixi. (whew). Vegas once a year for a
few nights at Wrangler National Finals Rodeo time, Biloxi 2-3 times a
year, Tampa 3 or 4 times a year.

has been average about 4 times/yr since 7 year ago retirement. Now
down to 2 times this year, probably about that next year also, mostly
due to: I can get at least as good if not better VP odds at my local
casino, increased flite $$$$. When in Vegas I play/stay downtown & hit
VP HARD. When my wife comes with...about every 2 or 3 trips, we eat/
see shows, etc.
I'm making money the last coupla years...probably just about enuff to
cover gas to drive to casino.

I am in Las Vegas every other month for two to three weeks. I stretch
the March trip to four weeks to catch the Nascar race and the NCAA
basketball tournament. Total yearly days in LV is about 120.

I can't agree more, Babe! We moved here in 1999 - the thrill wore off in about 3 months. When you have to do all the mundane chores of life (banking, laundry, car maintenance, house cleaning, yes, even grocery shopping and sometime cooking) along with fitting in your gambling time, it takes the edge off the thrill of it all. You become a "slave" to the point system so you can get those free play dollars every month, not to mention other perks depending on which level of local play you are.
When I fly out of here on a vacation I don't even want to see a casino! However, coming back to McCarran, smelling the ozone in the air and feeling the hit of sunshine still puts a lilt in my step.
Cheers,
Bonnie

Usually 2 trips to LV, one summer, one around Christmas, 7 or 8 nights total. 4 or 5 trips to Tunica, probably 8 nights a year total. If work takes me somewhere near a casino I usually go for at least a few hours; this year is was Seneca Niagara.

We live 3 hours away from Shreveport and ususally make it there once a
month for 1-2 nights each visit. During that time we will gamble for
25-30 hours total. We also visit Vegas 3-4 times per year for 3-4 days
and will gamble for 50-75 hours during the trip. I am not sure what
you mean by the 200 mark, but we are on target for playing about
250,000 hands this year.
