How is Las Vegas supposed to survive when every Tribe in San Diego is shortstopping all of the gambling money to build new space for thier casinos?
Easiest to get to of all the San Diego casinos. Not the closest, but it's just a straight shot out I-8. No twisty back-a$$ mountain roads. Well, there is a short distance on Willow Road off the freeway, but not bad.
Lots of Player's Club/Cashier cages in this place, one in every segment of the casino. The guy who signed me up for the club card was really nice. I got my 2 $5 free play chips (one for sale...) and headed off for the tables. A little BJ and I got the 2 house $5's $1, and $25.
Went back to my club guy and asked about Chips. He said Oh Yeah, and had set aside the $5 set of 3 20 year chips. He said he didn't have the $25, but I could get one from one of the other cashiers. As I turned to scoot off, a Slot Floor(?) girl was walking by. He called to her and asked her to take me to the fill cage. She did. To an employees only area. Then took off. There was someone ahead of me. Within a minute a Casino Manager looking guy came out and asked what I was doing there. Told him how I arrived and what I wanted. He somewhat gruffly told the cashier to find the chip, Then handed it to me for the $25 cash I'd dug out of my wallet, and made it obvious I should scoot off. Got the chip, but not the chance to talk to the cashier and see if she had any other goodies in the cage.
OK, I went nuts here. I left the last place with $50+ in chips. Why not $75 here? I mean, I'm smarter than the loosers who just gamble their money away to the casino, right? I least I walked with a few dollars cost of ceramic and clay!
