One of my favorite things to do when I am in LV is to scout out the
strip hotels for good VP. We were staying at the Bellagio and I
decided on Sunday evening to go down to NYNY to see what was still
remaining of the good VP after their slash and burn last spring.
After thoroughly taking inventory of the entire casino and making
note of some VP that was not listed on the LV Database ($1,2,5 MD
Bonus Poker), I decided to play a few hands on one of the two $1 9/6
5-100 coin JOB in the high limit area. About a ½ hour into my VP
session a man came up behind me and said "I have been playing a
five dollar machine I have loaded it up and its ready to hit".
Being the nice guy that I am and thinking that he was referring to a
VP machine, I asked him "which machine is that" then the man said in
a firm voice "cash out you money and come with me" not knowing what
to do without insulting the man I decided to leave my money in the
machine and follow him around the corner where he proceeded to point
out a five dollar slot machine. Since I consider myself an educated
gambler, I told him " thank you but I prefer VP" and his response
was to call me a "F***ing Tourist" and then he walked out. At first
I was mad, but soon realized how ridiculous his comment was,
considering I was playing full pay 9/6 JOB with perfect strategy and
he was playing a slot machine and saying silly fallacies like " its
loaded up and ready to hit". Hence, who truly was the tourist?
To avoid a further conflict with this man , I hope he is not a
reader of this site, but I highly doubt it!!!
