Newkirk’s Notes
Hello From Las Vegas! Masks are out (unless you choose to mask), and springtime weather is in the air. I don’t want to speak too soon, but things might just be getting back to normal.
A Sucker Really Is Born Every Minute – Roulette has emerged as the second most popular table game at the casinos last year, with the house pocketing over twice as much in 2021 as it did in 2020. Pent-up demand drove gambling revenue higher, casinos were unrelenting in raising table-game limits (even though it often resulted in empty tables), and a different strain of visitor may have been looking for more simple, social games to play.
This column, breaking down
– The possible worst game to play in the casino, and what to avoid about it.
– Is Sports Betting the future of gambling?
– You can actually be “King Of The Mountain” in Las Vegas
– What the latest visitor counts and gaming wins mean, and when should you plan your next visit based on that data?
…and Much More, continues for our Members HERE.

Rosa’s workers are already working at Allegiant for the Pro Bowl. “It is great for the business,” Rosa said. “It has been so slow with CES being cancelled, left and right we had a lot of gigs cancelled that brought a lot of the spirits down for workers, so the Pro Bowl rose some spirits.”

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!

– 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!

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.

Well we finally managed to get back to Vegas from the UK!
Having not been here for two years, we’ve noticed the changes. One thing which has disappointed us is that the bartenders and mixologists have been replaced with automated machines! The cocktails are weak and presentationally poor. We’re now trying to find out which hotels are still mixing cocktails by hand. Cosmopolitan and Fremont Street casinos are, so we will continue to frequent these establishments. Not sure if anyone else has asked this question?
By the way, we very much like the new Circa.

Must Do Hikes In Vegas! Plus Healthy Food Spots
(Video Publishers Notes) Here’s some of the MUST DO HIKES in Las Vegas. Plus 3 awesome healthy food spots to bring food on a hike. It’s spring and summer is around the corner, so we better be ready. I always get asked how I stay so skinny even though my Youtube Channel is mainly about food. Well, I am still human, so I too have to eat healthy and exercise. So instead of going to the gym, let’s enjoy the beautiful weather and go on a hike. Las Vegas summers are pretty brutal, so we have to enjoy this spring weather while we can. I know most people know Las Vegas only for the Strip, but there are many other visitors that know there’s so much to do outdoors. I will be taking you on 3 different hikes that aren’t too far away. Please make sure to keep watching, but I’m taking you to Lone Mountain Trail, Ice Box Canyon Trail in Red Rock Canyon, and Gold Strike Hot Springs Trail. I hope you enjoy, and do hike at your own risk.
