not for me
I can't get out there until December.
Is this permanent or just a trial of some sort?

because...
we are "good guys".
we are "good guys".
the changes so far are interesting.
the western has been cleaned up even a bit more. the plaza will be promoting some poker events i believe. the "rick"/magnum p.i. spokesman is hawking the plaza food venues. they now offer an upgraded, sunday brunch. best could be the 9# hamburger deal. they've bought abutting properties for expansion. the ideas for the new facilities seem worthy.
as to the 21 games, let's see how the sweat aspect plays out. any card counter worth a sh*t could construct a game that on the face of it, would be attackable yet would actually increase the overall hold. the way i'd play the hand is to even offer well publicised, "card counter" conventions/events. while many "advantage" players wouldn't appear, no doubt the number of wannabe/supplicants would be legion. if they tossed in some cheap room deals, like as not, the significant others accompanying the "experts" would bloat the slot hold to eclipse the 21 cash prizes.

Good question
Good question toddler, it deserves an answer.
Anyone who wants (including casinos) can get in to Green Chip, buy a copy of CBJN, read Fine Tuner's monthly report, etc. There is no secret about the general nature of the good games for counters in LV. This information has never been a secret.
I have personally written to Barrick and thanked him for the good games he offers (twice). I have written a podium about him (April 2004). Maloof is another example of someone who has consistently offered good games, and the Palms now has a reputation for their games that draws customers.
The good owners are not afraid of a few counters. They know that good games will bring in customers, gain them reputation, and ultimately pay off far more than the damage a few would-be counters could do.
What you will never find mentioned are those games that are the real *money* games in LV. I am sure many readers know exactly what I am talking about.

Mr. Mayor?
Did not YOU write letters to Barrick when said entity took over Plaza, et.al., and advising said entity of the PROFITABILITY of same action?
Something like "offer good games, and gains from the "ave. player" will greatly exceed any losses to CC's?"
This is just from memory.

Exactly
When I wrote (and spoker personally) to Barrick I made these points:
1) Deep penetration means more rounds per hour and less shuffling, which means more profitability.
2) Good games means a better reputation, which means more players, which means more profitability.
Good games for us are also good for them, and a few smart owners know it.

Look elsewhere, being a card counter at blackjack is not the answer:
