♠ ♦ Online Casino Junky! ♥ ♣

Happy Birthday all you casinos! Dam, you old too!

In case you missed it, the cover story of Las Vegas Weekly featured the Demisesquicentennial of legalized gambling, the Hoover Damn, and easier divorce laws. Worth the read if you are into the history of gambling. Or modern engineering. Or domestic law.

Is Vegas Geek a real person contributing to this site? Absolutely. (I don’t see what benefit I’d have by creating a second persona as an author here).

There are two people (so far) writing for this site. Myself and Vegas Geek. We both reside in Las Vegas, but Vegas Geek is a lot more familiar with the poker tournament scene. He runs GotJacks.com, a popular site that lists all the poker tournaments in the Vegas valley. He also runs a personal blog at Geeeek.com (that’s 4 e’s not 2) where you can find out a lot more about him, his love for tattoos, gadgets, and caffeine. Oh, and watch out for the pics of him in his aviator sunglasses.

Whether you are for (like my wife) or against (like me) today’s over-commercialized, over-hyped (retailers will have us believing Christ himself was born on Feb 14 by the end of the decade), Hallmark holiday that places unbearable amounts of expectation on otherwise nice guys who would rather just celebrate wedding anniversaries as their special couple-day of the year but are instead forced to buy cheap flowers instead of diamonds like the guy in the TV commercial because tax season is also upon us…sorry I forgot where I was going with this.

Regardless if you like Valentines day or not, Vegas can be a great place (if money is up) or an impossible place (watch those books) to celebrate the holiday. Not much inbetween. So for a special Hallmark’s Day, err V-day (I refuse to spell it again) treat, Oddjack is offering Dr. Phil talk radio type of love advice for the Vegas dateless:

You’ll want to hit the slot floors first. Minimum wager games – like slots, video poker, keno – are where the casino’s giving away the cutesy lovey-dovey stuff (read: minor promo wins). X number of points will win you complimentary chocolates and candies. Your goal is to obtain those for later, and score extra bucks to move to bigger game.

He later tells you that you can just take your mother if all else fails. Great advice Ed.
