Great stuff Vman thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone!

Very cool thread Vman, I read it during my last nonvoluntary enforced absence, and since it's been over 20 months since my last Vegas jaunt I appreciate seeing the subtle changes that have taken place in some of the pics you posted.

Quite simply you are far and away the best poster on this website...an obviously intelligent, level headed, grounded young man, whose only weakness seems to brewskis (nothing wrong with that, just don't drive!). Your mastery of taking and posting pictures is Central to the enjoyable nature of your threads...not that, in today's idiot proofed tech world such a thing is a big deal, but your time and patience in sharing is greatly appreciated.

You remind me of the actor John Carrol Lynch ( aka Norm "son of a" Gunderson from the Coen classic FARGO)...I applaud your willingness to post your actual image.

Thank you

Yes, pictures make a wall of text a lot better. Haha

And yes I'm a sucker for craft beer. But if I visit Vegas or Tunica, M is always driving, so no worries there.

And regardless of results, I'll still be writing these up. We still obviously take a lot of non-gambling pics and do non-gambling activities, so even a losing trip will still have things to show. But it definitely is more fun to write up the winning trips though!

$25 beer for playing nickel VP? Asking for a friend.

$25 beer for playing nickel VP? Asking for a friend.

I played max quarters there ($1.50 with STP). Bars often expect you to bet a minimum of a dollar a hand in Vegas. Of course, it's a BAD idea to actually bet 4 quarters on any VP game.

And unfortunately, I got word this week that they ran out of that beer.     They have many other good choices though. But most of their choices aren't nearly that expensive! But they will comp "lambics". Those are usually about $9 a 12 oz. bottle in a store, so they are close to that price level I guess.
