Newkirk’s Notes
Hello From Las Vegas!
Allegiant Stadium NFL VIP Seat Hack – I’d heard about this, and we got a chance to try it out. (It worked, but don’t tell the world. We’re only telling our Members). The 50 yard line club seats at Allegiant Stadium (and only those, not the other club seats) are labeled as VIP, All Inclusive seats. And guess what, they are!
This column, breaking down:
– This little-known Allegiant seat hack (which will save you money and get you the top VIP perks)
– The little-known town an hour from Las Vegas that should be on your relocation list, and why.
– What your rights are when a casino machine malfunctions or a dealer makes an error. Even if the casino won’t make it right!
…and Much More, continues for our Members HERE.

Note From Ted:
Members Mania is a regular feature for our Supporting (Paid) Members. Membership includes our “Your Guy In Vegas” feature, where you can reach out to myself and our paid staff of experts with your specific Vegas questions. We don’t have “canned” answers. We’ll ask you for some details pertaining you your wants and needs. Then, answer accordingly.
Today at the craps machine, something really messed up happened. The machine hit four 6’s in a row, all were when the dice showed 5- The machine locked up on the fourth 6 instead of paying everyone who bet on the pass line. The error message was triggered because it hit the exact same kind of 6 four times in a row, a 5 and a 1 on each dice.
The slot attendant came by and reset the machine. No one was allowed to take down their bets on other numbers besides the pass line. No one betting on pass line or placing the 6 got paid for the fourth 6. The next roll was a 7 out, of course. And everyone was livid. The manager was with the slot attendant and seemed like he did not care. I wonder if people have recourse because of this glitch. It’s not a malfunction if the dice legitimately hit 6 four times in a row as a 5-1. If that occurred at a table everyone would get paid on the fourth 6.
