Don't forget the free drinks while you were gambling.

I can recall a steady flow of Crown Royal/Cokes while in the casino, as long as I kept the server happy with an occasional tip.

Know old Vegas well... my father (born 1910) grew up in LA area and was going to Vegas from its beginning...(he marry his first wife in Vegas in Sept 41)...

Back in the 50’ my parents and all there friends in LA area thought nothing of doing a Vegas run for a day at the drop of a hat

(help that the they had unposted speed limit on the highway at that time.. doing a 100+ was the norm...dad was a mechanic and always built his own car engine..big Olds or Buick family sedan that could blow any other car off the road...true sleepers.. he sold one of our old family cars to a guy that then use it as a drag racer)

I was in Vegas in October/November of last year... I sat down at the hotel Sports Book area to watch a little of the games on TV, and to maybe grab a drink before heading for a walk. The waitress asked if I had my betting receipt, and that it had to equal $100 or more for ONE drink.

I told her Honey, I can buy 2 or 3 bottles for that $100..
