Thanks for the tip on LV.

Up here, they look at you like you've got the evil twin poking out of the side of your head when you start doing that. Then they start to talk into their sleeves... and then that awful hot wing sauce in the eye.... it goes downhill from there. I have been asked to cash in $.50's on the way out the door...

Up here, our gaming is "charitable" so folks like me get to "volunteer" to work casinos for our chairty (school, teams, clubs...) and I have had the opportunity to work the cage.

I have been able to get my hands on some great chips this way - after the cock-eyed stares from the staff. I've even been able to get ahold of chips that are being taken out of circulation.

And yes, once in a while you get a nice person that will actually help you out, too.

If anybody really cares how our casinos run up here, I'd be happy to try and explain it - LMK and I will post something.
