who thought the strip and Vegas was more fun when therewere more players. I really liked it when all the casinos on the strip had their own players club cards, and the chips really differed from each other. Even whenit was Mirage...MGM...Mandalay Bay/Circus Circus...Caesars...and Harrah's was what 5th. Throw in a scrappy bunch of off strip owners and there seemed to be real competition for the players. Now we are supposed to be led to the table, sheared (6/5 blackjack), and hustled out as quickly as possible. Baaaa
