I hope you did not stay at the western? If you did I hope you had all your shots. I hope the sheets were there. They usually use them to wrap the bodies in. I like to go there and play just to live on the edge for a feww hours every trip but staying there you have to be a risk taker/gambler! :) I have two guesses on the sock shot. its either X. X. or XXXX X.! Am I right?! LTC

I played, but did not stay, at the Western. The Western has some of the best Single Deck in town, but it is a low roller joint, so don't expect to bet your typical max. Most of the trays have very few green, and no black.

As for the person in photo 3, I don't know who you mean by your x's, but even if I did, I would not be able to answer :cool:

I once bet a five red chips and lost there. They rolled out the carpet and comped us coffee creme and equal! You are right about the single deck there. we always have fun and win enough to buy breakfast at the El Cortez...country fried steak, three eegs over medium, and grits. Last time the dealer was so bad I gave him a few tips on how to shuffle: Riffle, strip, riffle,riffle strip, riffle...I told him it was the benny binion shuffle! He ate it up. Make sure you play from 6am to noon though unless you carry a gun! LTC

If you're a red-chipper, the Western is the place to be! They have a great game, and you can come off the top of a deck with a $5 bet, then drop down to $2 or $1 if the count drops. It's almost like Wonging a SD game! I used this method to spread from $1-$40 two weeks ago. The pit crew (two young guys who looked more like interns than employees)didn't even seem to care. There was one smart Asian boss-ette who was eyeing me (and not because of my rugged good looks) one day, but I threw her off by ploppily playing a few Royal Match bets. Sometimes that $1 in the tiny RM square can make all the difference!

I have to agree with LTC about only going there from 6am-12pm. Also, the cage phones the pit EVERY TIME a green chip is cashed. For this reason, you might want to cash in a few chips at a time if you win a lot. Also, be sure to stash some chips when you hit a winning streak. The pit gets nervous (jealous maybe?) when they see too many of their chips in front of the players!
