What happened to Humblegunner?

I miss seeing the name and knew his name would show up on certain threads.

[Persevero]

You’re fine, I thought it was interesting, I don’t know why some want to police content here. One can click or not click as one wishes.

Typical AI manufactured video. Lots and lots of words that tell you what you already know.

Oh and be sure and hit the like button and subscribe!

Basically, the headline is the summary. It's up to you to click or not.

No, it is up to you to provide a summary so you don't waste our time. Otherwise you are posting click bait, likely for personal gain. Which is against the rules.

One thing I have learned over the years is I do not want to live in a “destination town”. If the town/city you live in makes the “10 Most Desirable Places to Live” status, Sell out and Move while it is still decent!

Congrats on becoming the new owner of FR.

I only watched a couple of minutes but what i came away with is it’s not a lie per se, The video states there are extra added fees for everything......from hotel rooms to parking and all the rest of it.

Apparently if the hotel catches you storing your own items in your hotel room mini fridge they fine you......WHAT?!

First time in Vegas was mid 80's, went again in the early 90's, and last time some 15 years ago.

Free valet parking(tipped the valet), free drinks while playing 3/2 blackjack(tipped the waitress) and good buffets.

I didn't go overboard but it was fun.

Seems like that is all gone now in 2025.

Way way back, I worked a lot playing music in “little Vegas” (Reno) and it was great. Top-shelf musical acts, clean, etc. I’m wondering if it has followed the Vegas path.

You seemed to wonder why you were getting pushback, so I tried to explain it.

“What happened to Humblegunner?”

Well, there’s always texasgator.......because SOMEBODY’S gotta be the biggest jackass on the forum....and that A-hole fits the bill perfectly. 😏

[Max_850]

Don’t take it personal Biff. Someone did not have their Fiber for breakfast and is a little constipated and grumpy...

[drSteve78]

Ditto that.

“good buffets”

-
I heard the buffets are all but gone now.....that was very telling to me.
-
I watched a documentary a while back called “Inside the Edge: A Professional Blackjack Adventure”

The guy has a way to win at blackjack that’s not technically cheating, but the casinos in LV all banned him anyway.

So I guess nobody is supposed to win ever?

Maybe Vegas is getting what it deserves.

[drSteve78]

Thanks for your interpretation. I never watch videos on youtube unless i need a how to destroy/repair something. How to build a wooden fence.

“Someone did not have their Fiber for breakfast...”

-

And if they did, I suspect it may have been urinated in. 😁

[Nik Naym]

Agree 100%. I am also sick and tired of seeing these obvious clickbait posts. People posting these just for clicks are the lowest of the low.

[catnipman]

A. What’s the big lie of Vegas?

B. Why should i care?

[dfwgator]

It was better when the mob ran it.

[Omnivore-Dan]

Never had any interest in Vegas. Living in a desert? No, thanks, and I kind of enjoy some rain now and then and am not fond of tourist traps.

“read a few of the comments”

My favorite was “Bring back the MOB” LOL!
