    If you've never been there, its definitely worth seeing one time. I was there early seventies, the N End of the stripe, where it began. Found a casino that had penny slots.

    With Griffs off strip you might stay in that area/the hotels may be more reali$tic. Or you might consider Reno.

    I would never recommend a Week vacation there, 3 days/two nights max. Keep in mind, allot of the casinos allow cigarettes inside. I know there are some neat areas to visit off strip if you've got a car.... the Hoover Dam is one of em.

    Tony/Skyler trivia question

    I think Tonys ratio of winning more 9 Ball Games than Sky winning more one pocket games is my bet. Have em play ten of each. Here's my prediction.... Score 9 Ball.... Sky gets six outta ten games. One pocket Sky.... gets 3 outta ten games.

    Neat Haircut

    Rusty, Hubert Cokes I think was the man I was impressed with seeing em in the sixties. Because of the way he chose to eliminate glare. I think his set up was common with card dealers. Visor. At Johnston City he wore a Visor brim? Not a hat.... had a cut out then stitched and inserted (see thru...

    Neat Haircut

    I don't think the pro events Allow hats, so his/this hair style was perfect for an arena.

    Amtrak is just another thought is all. Major cities in the US have rail, it's common in other areas of the planet.

    There's a few Large KS pool rooms along the rail. Maybe there's a good room in Milwaukee, short train ride north from airport, nice part of the country to see looking east to the great lakes.

    Amtrak stations service major cities throughout the Midwest and the US. Have an event Somewhere... along their routes from Milwaukee to Chicago, then s/w towards KC. Not a big deal to fly into a major airport/Ohare/Midway then catch a train.

    Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

    Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

    Do you overcut or undercut your misses? If it's always the same, that's easily fixable, but not w/o seeing you hit balls. I've heard the word Mechanics.... ALLOT. Someone trying to understand why they miss, does not Need.... a mechanics list of possibilities.
