Did Wayne Newton drive in Vegas Vacation? Probably hasn't since.

While at the El Derado check out the large bank at the front of the casino directly from the players club. Decent pay tables. Found a game I had not tried on them- Dbl bonus+. Unique to me. Pays more for certain hands where the quads are adjacent, especially aces which are $500 at the quarter level with no kicker needed. Yeah I know, it wouldn’t seem to be easy for the adjacent part but me and the spouse hit almost nothing but. Was fun for something different.

Thanks for the tip. However, our stay at the El Dorado was from Oct 6 - 10, so we've already left there (and Reno).

We did play a tiny bit of 8/5 bonus poker at the El Dorado, but the bulk of our play in Reno was on the multiline (50 or 100 play) machines at the Silver Legacy.

Did you stop in at Legends Bay? New casino in Sparks, owned by Olympia Gaming. Their other casino property is Fandango in Carson City.

Swoop is ok but they run late a lot. Cheap flight but baggage is expensive. Also cost my parking at Hamilton airport cost 163 dollars for 8 days..
We had to pay $405 for our close to three week trip. We looked for off-site parking options, but couldn't find anything that looked promising.

Hope all are having a good time. When I was in my 30s and 40s and had hair, I was mistaken for Neil diamond and asked for an autograph several times. will that do as a substitute driver?? HA!
Speaking of which, be careful out there. I have never ever seen so many lunatics on the road. Yesterday, on the way to Bizarro World on I 95 with traffic moving at 75-80 a lunatic passed everyone in a Dodge Charger in the narrow emergency lane doing well over 100. I swear it wasn’t me though years ago I did have a 68 Charger RT 440. Super fast, but 8 MPG. 😬 Same color as the 69 in the movie Bullet.

Doesn't Uber or Lyft operate in Canada? How about super shuttle? I would assume these would be financially viable options to exorbitant parking fees.

The Hamilton airport is a relatively small one, located about 80 miles from where I live. To be honest, the thought of trying to arrange transportation to and from it never crossed my mind.
