    That spot in the mirror was for a TV. We have a couple of mirrors like that at work. You should have pointed your TV remote at it to see if the TV was active. Great report and I look forward to visiting some of the spots you hit next month on my trip with my dad.

    Well done sir, you for sure do run around a lot, at least longer distances than I do.

    I also may be motivated to play that checkers game! Is it only at Rampart?

    Yes, we run around quite a bit. Keeps us (read: me) from gambling/drinking too much. Put 200 miles on that piece of shit Chevy Spark. Still bitter about 25 mpg. Wonder how mwig did with his...

    And to my knowledge yes. :( I typed in "cash king checkers" on youtube and all the videos lead to Rampart casino. Definitely worth it if you have a car, Suncoast is right next door and Red Rock isn't that far away. And 9/6 Jacks at main bar at Rampart! :beer: You could also theoretically take the WAX ($2 cash each way) to Suncoast and walk to Rampart if you didn't have a car/wanted to drink more. But google maps says Suncoast/Rampart is about a mile walk.

    Great report as always!

    "M found a coupon for “free” tickets to Frank Marino Divas after a $16/ticket box office fee. "
    Where did she find the coupon?

    Thanks! It was in a flyer...but apparently you can get it off of the web too though.

    Well, you could always eat the Red Rock buffet, or yard house. A Famous Dave's BBQ is around there too. I dunno what you guys exactly like...but it's Summerlin, so decent food places should be around. :)

    :evillaugh

    Thanks for reading!

    Thanks Stevie! Yeah, sucks it didn't work out, but as you read, that Saturday was a major clusterfuck. Didn't help that your group did their best to drag you away from casinos. :(

    Great TR. Man you get around. Love the pics and brews. Good job.
    Although I don't play with/on sluts next week might have to make a Rampart-Suncoast run!

    Lol

    Thanks guys!

    Last night reminded me why I want to gamble in Vegas or Tunica at the least. Spent $50 in beer last night. [emoji35]

    "Not Your Father's Rootbeer" is pretty damn good though.

    Well, since the watch survived the impact of the Cosmo bathroom tile externally, we thought it would be better to get the minute hand fixed. It only cost $20. Pleasantly surprised by that.
