    Clausthaler Dry Hopped is the best NA I have ever had. I'm not that big a fan of their other NA.
    Dry Hopped info...89 calories, 0g Fat, 20g carbs and 1.1g protein per 12 oz.

    Actually the seafood towers were at 2 different restaurants. Friday night at Lakeside and Saturday night at Bugsy. They were nearly identical except the King crab at Lakeside we’re already cracked open. All I had to do was pull the meat out. Bugsy required some work to get at the meat !

    I Like the Clausthaler dry hopped the best of all the NAs... It is a German brewery that ONLY produces NA.

    Pictured above is the smallest crap table I’ve ever seen. ( see Silver Sevens comments below)

    Monday night found me visiting some old haunts from years gone by. First stopped at Tuscany Suites only to find that they no longer had craps ( damn). Played 3/5 DB poker for about an hour in hopes that I would get back on their radar.

    Left there and went to Silver Sevens where I saw my first ever 4 person craps table. It was less than half the size of a regular table with 2 dealers working opposite of each other. Couldn’t get a spot after waiting 20/30 so I played some 3 handed DB. Lost !

    Decided to head out to the MResort. I’ve been getting 1/2 night offers but nothing really nice. Thought maybe it was time to let them know IM BACK ( lol). Played craps for about an hour ( lost maybe 40/50 ). Then went to Paigow. This paigow was strange indeed. The dealer had to open YOUR HAND and set it house way or whatever way you wanted it set. And no pint we’re you ( player) to touch the cards. You could touch the chips.... but not the card. I love squeezing those cards whe I’m one card away from a bonus hand. This system really sucked. After about 15 hands ( real nice dealer who agreed that this was crap) i decided i wanted to move on down to Green Valley Ranch. I had not been to GVR In years. Wow and was I glad to be there. Machines were clean and crisp. Full pay VP everywhere. And $10 craps. I must have played craps for at least 2 hours. Bought in for 300 and left up 150 more. Very nice and professional staff. Played some VP. Gott quads once or twice. Got some o k Chinese food at their food court Decided around 10 pm to head back to Flamingo

    OTW back I passed by this

    Tuesday morning and it’s GAME TIME I’m like a kid a Xmas time when my BILLS play . I got geared up for the whole day because these are my BILLS

    06CA8297-6CF1-49E2-A9A4-4A4F883361CE.jpeg

    I probably visited 3/4 casinos ( Paris, Bally’s, Linq and Flamingo in search of a game that also had Bills fans). FYI d a few fans but none were craps players. I settled in at Bally’s ( which turned out to be my go craps place along with the Linq). Wife came to Bally’s table abd said it’s 3.30 and game starts at 4. I thought it started at 5 but I was wrong.

    We had 6:30 reservations at Gordon Ramsey’s Pub so I decided to go to Caesars to watch the game. And boy did we get lucky

    Git a couch in snack dad middle of back row for Kim Ashley and I. By the time e kickoff happened I was WIRED!

    I figured it might change when we got to Kim GR PUB. Ask our host to seat me under a tv so o could witness this heck u a comeback. Boy was I wrong

    Fortunately our food arrived. Kim has wedge salad and tomato basil soup . Ashley has braised shirt ribs and I had the prime rib. Started out with spinach artichoke dip which loves

    I must admit the prime rib was huge and delicious It was so huge it was intimidating ! No complaints from Kim or Ashley on this meals either

    Love the Bills face mask. Really tough couple weeks. Bills playing terrible defense, don’t get it, they where pretty solid last year on D. Bad run game, no one can catch a ball. Offensive line is giving good pass protection and Allen is throwing and running it well but that’s about it. Almost feel like there’s some beef between receivers and Allen. Cole other than two plays did nothing, Diggs can’t catch anything or even get to the line on time.

    So cool big brother that you visited both M and GVR!! I didn't know. I was on my sofa recovering from my red eye flight when you were out and about in the Vegas Valley last Monday. :) Loving all that you did.

    I've got to add GR Steak to my itinerary next time. Still can't believe I haven't yet tried it.

    “Ashamed”???? Hardly. I guess that says a lot about what you think about your Bucs who HAVE THE SAME TECORD AS THE BILLS And have lost to inferior competition. BILLS have lost to 2 teams who are a combined 9-1 I believe. Your opponents are a combined 8-3. Heck you must be ready to jump off a bridge !

    After coaching college basketball the past 13 years and playing D 1 football I learned long time ago that “It doesn’t matter where you start the race but where you finish”. While you hold your head in shame about your Bucs, I’m proud of my Bills. Yep they took a beating 2 weeks in a row. But last time I looked 4-2 record ain’t the pits .

    This loyal fan is cheering on his BILLS DAMN THE NAYSAYERS. They can’t steal my BILLS JOY. I’m a BILLiever! For Life!
