I thought about staying at the Casino Royale that KJ mentioned. It seems okay from the outside anyway. I am wondering why KJ believes being close to the university makes the area a bad place. I'm not disputing what he says, just wondering why that may be so.WRX said:
I had a friend who stayed at Motel 6 on Tropicana near S Las Vegas Blvd. and he thought it was fine. Don't know if they have weekly or monthly rates, though.

Being close to the college doesn't make it a bad place. The high crime rate is what makes it a bad place. Walk around a bit and take note of the security bars on the windows and door of the apartments in the area. They are there for a reason. Not as bad as the eastern side of UNLV (maryland ave and east) but not good never the less.aslan said:

Thanks for that. I have felt unsafe visiting a little strip shopping center at night near UNLV for Thai food (I think it was on Harmon or Flamingo). Also, I've seen a lot of homeless in that vicinity. For nighttime eating I usually drive far from the strip, unless it's a hunger attack for In and Out (Tropicana near I-15) or Oriental food (Spring Mountain-Chinatown), neither one being the safest areas in Vegas, but not so bad if you're driving.kewljason said:
Sounds like you need a little security..aslan said:

I tend to be paranoid, like my drill sergeant in basic training who had seen action in Korea and was constantly looked behind him, eyes always shifting. I figure, it pays to always err on the side of safety, and to never take your surroundings for granted. The truth is, I have not encountered trouble since I was a teenager, but then, I would go anywhere without a thought to any dangers that might present themselves. After all, in those days I was invulnerable.forwhat77 said:
In Vegas, or around any casino for that matter, I am always on guard simply because it's a place where people are expected to carry lots of money, and if I were a robber, what better place to ply my trade--so long as I knew where the cameras were and what the habits of security personnel were. It only takes a few seconds to point a gun and grab a wallet.

If you mean Vegas, it's a big place. But if you follow the BJN or scout around for the better games, we likely have played the same tables but at different times. Maybe we should all carry a magic marker so we can secretly X the felt at the place where we stack our chips. :laugh:forwhat77 said:Aslan, I'm just tugging your leg
I wonder if I have had the chance to play with you yet at the tables around these parts....

I thought it was Asian for quite a while too LOLaslan said:BJgenius,
Thanks for including me in that fine race of human beings, but my name is Aslan, not Asian. Note, there is no space in l.
If you folks can't pay atterntion to details on a web site in your living room, how do you expect to succeed in a casino?
In all seriousness , it seems the few people who manage to spell my fairly easy name correct tend to be the proven APs on this site.
Is there a relationship between attention to details and success in the casino? I'll leave that up to you.

Not to abednegate your point, but most people spell it Shadrach.shadroch said:

Very clever with the coining of abednegate, but shadroch, spelled lowercase by the owner, may not be a derivative of Shadrach of the famous trio at all. BTW, the biblical Shadrach's given Hebrew name was Hananiah, but was changed by the prince of the eunuchs after Hananiah was captured by the Babylonians. One might speculate that 'our' shadroch did intend the connection to Shadrach, since card counting is in some ways similar to being tossed in a fiery furnace and emerging unscathed. But you'll have to ask him, as I'm merely guessing.Automatic Monkey said:
