OK, maybe not the same one, but two Steves can have twice the fun!

Sandia (which means "Watermelon" - named after the pink hills nearby) - yes! always choose the Free Play chips, and don't play 'em. Newer issue, obviously Game-On while the older ones are Chipco. Good score.

Santa Ana - well, I-can see they use . . . Icon chips. Awwww, don't fret about having to ask Security how to exit. Happened to me several times . . . once in the MGM Grand, of all places. Security walked me to the door then too - was later told that they are required to do this for legal purposes. If someone is lost, and they just describe where the exit is, or walk you halfway to it, and leave you . . . and you fall over a slot machine (is such a thing possible?) or suffer some other indignity . . . you might sue. At the MGM, the security guard was also cordial and told me, "Don't worry, it happens all the time."

We Californians are more accustomed to exiting . . . walk past the three card tables in the establishment, and you're out the door. Flip off the owner . . . and you're out even quicker.

Please, continue with your adventures . . .
