    Hello everyone-

    My name is Jason and I am from Houston, TX. I have been coming to vegas 3-4 times per year for the past 10 years, including for the Super Bowl the last few years - I will be there next week again. I the only table game I typically play is Blackjack, but lately I have been playing mostly BarTop video poker, and Ultimate X Video poker (with a penchant for Double Double Bonus). Though I have historically avoided slots, right now I am really into the Wizard of Oz Haunted Forest machine.

    My comped drink of choice is Goose and Cranberry, but I also am quite fond of the the Category 5 Hurricanes from Fat Tuesday.

    I am very glad to have found this message board and I look forward to sharing tips and stories with many of you.

    Welcome, neighbor - we live a suburb near NASA. Many of us here on the board from the Houston area.
    My new favorite slot is Wizard of Oz - The Road to Emerald City. :)
