Trip report Reno/Vegas/Laughlin

#1

Sounds like you had a great trip. Feel free to share more. Why is a 99.7 multi play evil? What is a royal, I have forgotten? We are heading back to Mohegan for Dancing with the Stars, Don Mattingly Dinner, and Free Cruise. I hope to survive 3 days at the Casino. Although the food was good for the Superbowl party, there was no gift bag, second year in a row without it. Not sure I really liked the set up, I liked in better when they had smaller TVs with coaches to sit in. Glad Giants won, and I ate too many brownies, they were good. Have a great day, and Royals to all. Ciao Don :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Don,
We may go to the Cruise exposition as I am curious. Wife wants
nothing less than a balcony room like the Hilton gave us several
times. This is what happens when you get spoiled from competition.

I (not so much Sachem wife) got hooked about 2003 on Multistrike.
FPDB $.25 at River Palms in Laughlin. End of one week trip. Got Free
rides to top line and then dealt a Scare and then filled in for $8K
royal. It was one of those great trips. Game no longer there but
99.7% widely available in Reno and at least one $1 in Harrah's
Laughlin.
MS is evil as it beckons with its Siren song.
Then they come out with 99.7%+ MS/STP combo. Crack cocaine of VP.
Still positive on the game over many years but.......
