i think chuggie went to pr last year.  which is basically like me going to canada just to see a different kind of white folk. 

[hbionic]

Yes...but white folk are mostly all fugly. Latin people are only ugly.

I spent most of the 10 days in Puerto Rico on the Island of Vieques. Densly populated and beautiful beaches...water is warm as hell and I didn't want to come back.

I spent 2 days in San Juan...one of them completely hungover...didn't really get a chance to explore the main island...but I would want to go back for sure and go to the Arecibo observatory, explore the Old San Juan and go to this place....    http://www.aventuraspr.com/

When you go...their most popular beer is Medalla. You can drink 50 of those and won't catch a buzz...but they're cheap...so what the hell.

i want to see Arecibo, but im not sure if we'll have time.  We're planning on a trip to the rain forest, and a snorkeling trip.  From what i've read drinks are expensive as shtein, so we'll be hitting up a local shop down the road to get some booze to offset costs.  I'll probably rack up a grand anyway.

Munson,

I didn't save any chips this time, I didn't even think about it. But I will collect a few when we go back in March.

Matty,

Is that where you normally stay? If so, how much do you normally have to drop to start seeing the comps roll in?

Matty,

Actually this is the first time the Venetian has ever comped me, which is the only reason i'm going.  Was there for a bachelor party in July and I had a crazy good night at the Pai Gow table.  The time you spend at the tables is actually just as important, if not more, than the amount of money you blow.  As long as you're playing 15 dollars or more per hand. 

Paris and Ballys and sometimes Hard Rock are where I usually get comp rooms from.  TotalRewards, which are all of the Harrahs casinos, seems to reward you the most for play.  And Hard Rock is the most fun place to actually stay even though it's smaller and a bit off the strip. Took me a few trips to start getting comp rooms on the regular but once you start actually taking advantage of their offers they'll keep coming.

Cool...

I didn't sign up for Harrah's Total Rewards because I didn't play much in any of their spots. I only shot craps for a few rolls before two french dudes farged the table up by being jerks. Then I left and went to Casino Royale.

I signed up for Mirage/MGM and Casino Royale's clubs. Not that I would want to stay at CR.

I've been reading a lot of good reviews on Bill's Gamblin Hall, which is part of Harrah's, I think. I don't think I would want to stay there either.

It seems like Royale, Bill's and Imperial Palace all fall into the same category.

Treasure Island looks like a decent spot to stay. I think that is where we'll stay when we go next month.

Im still trying to figure out what ever made you sit down at a Pai Gow table in the first place matty?

[Seabiscuit36]

Asian Creampies

[phattymatty]

pai gow is a great game if you want to just pound free drinks and sit at the same table for a long time.  for a while it would be me and about 5 old asian women but in the last year or two its catching on with the younger crowd.  i play it all the time.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't know how to play, but Matty's right...I saw a lot of younger people playing it.

Baccarat is one where I saw no younger people. All old folks with stacks of chips.

Anyone been to St. Lucia?
