Last time I had the nerve to go to Vegus it cost me $450, damned near
broke my heart too.

$2500 for me, but...free hotel room and dinners!

I usually win at the 10/20 poker table. I wear a tee-shirt that says
California on it. Also, I only drink orange juice, but it looks like a
screwdriver. I don't have the stomach for higher stakes.


That's a five day trip. No more than $50 per hand.

Five day trip? I usually go for a long weekend at most. The typical hand,
assuming I'm in to the end could easily reach several hundred dollars,
especially if there's more than one drunken dentist at the table. (For some
reason drunken dentists are the worst at poker... not sure why.)


Brave girl.

Been to Vegas twice in the last five years...gambled $10 in the slots,
won and walked away with $20 the first time and $23 the second time.
What a bloody awful city. Bellagio dinner buffet, though, was decent.

Was up in Atlantic City a couple weeks ago...it's worse than Vegas,
although the hotel wasn't bad...Harrah's.

I've heard it's a pit.

Nah... I can afford to lose a couple of hundred. The key is to remember that
after the money is in the pot, it's no longer yours. Takes the anxiety out
of it.
