Not wanting to analyze y'all's musings at any depth, I would suggest to the original poster that he forsake the tables, the porn and the geek convention, and enjoy some of the more wholesome activities Vegas has to offer. Great golf courses, beautiful piano bar at the top of the Stratosphere, new HofBrau Haus across from the Hard Rock, intimate little club called Cheetahs, etc...

We just came back from Vegas - the 2 yr old loved it. Especially the Bellagio and the Venetian. Have fun.
