OK, how about a contest for everyone. Below are listed 13 questions about Las Vegas, gaming, collecting, and CC>CC. These are not the easiest but should present a challenge. The 13th question is a tie breaker, if more than one person gets all of the first 12 right. Deadline in midnight March 2, 2003. In case of ties, and more than one person also answers the tie breaker correctly, then a random drawing of those folks who qualified to answer the 13th question and did so correctly will be held.

What, you want a prize too. I thought the fun of the contest would be enough. Actually there is a prize connected. See picture below. The winner gets a beautiful matched handcrafted pen and pencil set made from Sassafras wood. Really looks better than the picture.

Only other rule - DO NOT post answers on the board. All answers must be e-mailed to me at casinojim@prodigy.net.

Have FUN!!!
