New member hoping for advice

#1

Hi, everyone!

I hope I can appeal to one or two creative and sentimental souls as I
am desperately searching for a special birthday gift for my mother,
who I believe is a member of this forum. She is a frequent traveler to
gambling destinations with good VP, and in between trips, often
practices her VP on her home PC.

Is there some special new, hot, computer game, book, or other item she
can't live without and is new enough she might not have already
purchased, herself?

Any and all advice appreciated for the most wonderful and thoughtful
Mom. :slight_smile: (It's not her fault that it's so difficult to find the
prefect gift for her)

Many thanks in advance!

How about a year subscription to "Strickly Slots" magazine or
something similar? At least the articles in there such as the one
from Bob Dancer would certainly be NEW to your vp mom!
And best of all, you don't have to be driving around town (saves GAS)
trying to find something your mom might already have.

If you go to my Web site below, you will find a couple of new and unique gaming items. One is a money-management bank that has been quite popular. A small metal bank that you can put in the winnings you want to take home. You leave the key at home so you can't get into it without destroying it - and that would probably take running your car over it many times!!!!! The other item is a slot card wallet in which you can carry all your cards, including credit cards, insurance cards,etc. Comes with a puncher to put holes in the cards, which can be done for all cards except your drivers license - and there is a pocket for it.

I appreciate all the advice, please keep it coming! I have snooped
through her magazine collection and she gets them all. A renewal might
be too boring, but I'm getting desperate. UGH.

Steve Kent, there is no time for shows when you're a serious VP Player!!

Jean Scott, I will check out your products.

Someone who has no time for a show, seeing
other Vegas attractions, top restaurants, has
many other problems.

Take her to a show to introduce her to life
besides gambling (for her it is no longer
gaming!). This is probably the best gift
you can give her.

Does your Mom like things a bit spicy? My new novel, "More Sex, Lies,
and Video Poker," arrives from the printer tomorrow, so she CAN'T have a
copy yet. I'll be posting excerpts and descriptions about the book in
the near future.

Oh, it's gaming. When one goes to Las Vegas as often as she does, I'm
sure she has seen what she wants to see in terms of shows and sites.
Remember, I'm looking for something special for HER, not what I might
like or I think she *should* like. She loves her VP! :slight_smile:

Bob, if we could talk offline, I can reveal her first name and maybe
we could arrange to get her an autographed copy? I know she's a big
fan of yours and my spying missions confirm she has all of your
other "stuff."

Please email me at vpdaughter@yahoo.com

  Dear VP Daughter–
  What a wonderful daughter you are!!! I think all
  the suggestions post this reply (well, . . I'm
  not so sure about that Chippendales one. . .)
  were good ones. In addition to Mr. D's autographed copy of his book how about–
   
  Is she a member of the Las Vegas Advisor? go
  to http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/ and click on
  "Become a Member"–blue box, bottom right. I'm sure she'd appreciate the coupon book, but access to the forums–where we talk about all things Vegas (and sometimes not-to-Vegas!) would be interesting to her between trips! I have to admit that I find access to the forums–pure entertainment between by Vegas Jaunts!
   
  Also, the LVA has a ShopLVA on line and I think they'd offer you a gift certificate. You can call them at 1-800-244-2224 go access them at:
  http://www.shoplva.com/ and them your mom could get whatever she's been wanting!
   
  Also, The Gamblers Bookshop is the oldest gambler's bookstore in LV and I believe they could accommodate your request for a gift certificate, too. Go to: http://www.gamblersbook.com/
   
  One other thot, does your Mother usually rent a car in Vegas??? If so, a gift certificate for the rental company she usually uses. OR does she fly??? A gift certificate for the airline?? (I assume she get's comped her room–otherwise a GC for the casino/hotel she usually plays at???)
   
  Hope this helps!

There's probably a lot of SPECIAL things out there for her! But, if you
don't give enough details such as "How much are you willing to
spend?", "Does she win more than loss each time she goes to vegas?",
etc., then.....

...just get your mom a Video Poker machine!
or
...buy her some IGT stocks!!!

Hi George,

I wish that your post had expressed some of the "joie de vivre" that
your "glee4ever" address would indicate.

Vpdaughter, could have been my daughter. In fact, I thought it WAS
my daughter until I learned differently.

I can absolutely assure you, that, because I have no interest in
seeing shows, viewing other Vegas attractions or eating in 5* Star
restaurants during my frequent LV sojourns, that I am not a suitable
candidate for Gamblers Anonymous.

In my non-vacation life, I live in the suburbs of a very large city
(Chicago) where I have the opportunity to see great shows, visit
world class museums, and eat in marvelous rstaurants. None of those
very pleasant activities are what cause me to board a plane and fly
3 1/2 hours to Nevada!

Additionally, I visit LV 6-8 times every year. I have done this for
the last 10 years, and less frequently for the preceeding 20 years.
There is not much new to see in LV that I haven't already seen.
I suspect that the same is true of vpdaughter's mother. Much as I
do, she visits LV to PLAY VP!

Rather than lecture this lovely woman, who is trying to be the most
of thoughtful of daughters, I would congratulate her for being the
epitomy of what every mother would cherish, a truly caring child.

You go girl!
-Babe-

There was a book I once seen at a Vegas airport bookstore entitled "The art of the shrimp cocktail". Considering this
is by far , one of the most common coupons used by advantage players, she would welcome such a gift with open arms.
