15 miles away in Henderson at the EL DORADO, the CRAPS table is $1 bet every day. We like to go and gamble for an hour, break for supper, and then gamble again. Our meal consists of a BELLY BUSTER hamburger with FF's and an order of Onion Rings. We order one of each item and split the meal. With drinks, the cost is $15.00 including the $2.50 tip.

We went to the POKER PALACE in north LV. It is lower rent than Fremont street or Henderson. They had $1 blackjack. It was very smokey!

When I gamble, I always get $100 in chips using a $100 bill. I make it easy to make sure that I get the right amount, and they may think that I am a "big Dog". Last year I used 5 $20s and I thought they only gave me $80. I asked them to check the camera and they said it was only $80. The houseman making the change later said that if he had made a mistake then he would have been given a "demerit" for the mistake. I tell the story because today at El Cortez I was given $5 too much. I did not bring it to their attention. Instead I made a $5 bet for the dealers. Two things, I do not want to cheat for $5 and it is bad luck. $5 million - Ask me then!!

11-18, Today, Nancy and I took a TEXAS HOLD'EM lesson. Watch out!
