Hi Mel,
It sure is Mel. At least now I know the deck has 52 cards. Good luck in Las Vegas.

Congrads Joel,
It was a long time in coming but it sure is sweet when they come.

We went to MS this past Tuesday for the Aerosmith concert. The
show was great. They can still rock. They had a stage that came out
into the audience and we had the first row by that stage. They gave
us a comped suite and I was able to get a room for my sister and
brother-in-law for $39. Pretty good deal. We had dinner at Tuscany.
The meal was fair. Back to Pompei and Caesar next time.
I didn't notice any change in machines. I played mostly the $1 JOB
and BP at the bar tops and typically for me, just kept on feeding in
the benji's like it was a pac man eating the bills. At about
midnight, I'd had enough and start to head up. On the way up to the
room, I decide to throw one more benji into a machine. On about my
5th or 6th hand, I'm dealt the 10D, JD, QD, I don't even think about
it since it's been over 250K hands since a royal and I'm pretty
toasty after the concert and drinks. Well, up pops the AD & KD for
an 8K royal. My first of the year at MS. I just sat there in
disbelief.
I guess I do believe in royals. After 250K hands without one it
felt pretty good.
Good Luck
Joel

--- Hi Joel,
Ironically we had dinner at Pompei and Caesar Sat night with
friends
and also saw the celtic game. Maybe we even saw each othe and
didn't
realize it. My wife and I are going tom at noon for the $40G cash
drawing we were invited to in the ballroom. Are you going this
weekend? One day we will have to hook up and meet.
