This is what baffles me the most...People that sit in a 7-11 to play slot machines. I would think that a 7-11 would be the worst atmosphere to gamble. At least step it up to a Dottys or go a little further with a Poker Palace or Silver Nugget.

Naw, CVS is more convenient so you can pick up some aspirin for your headache after you just lost the mortgage money.

In response to OP: I have been to Vegas seven times and have spent alot of money there, but not one cent on gambling. Then again, after you've gambled at the real monte Carlo, the hotels on the strip might as well be CVS or 7-11

WOWWWWWWWWW the REAL Monte Carlo......mmmmmmmmmmm

Yeh right....how many joints n how much do they rake in.....

Name dropping the "REAL" monte carlo doesnt gain much headway in Las Vegas......if we wanted a Monte Carlo we'd build one.....

OH....Yeh....right....we did.

My uncle who died this month was a Las Vegas legend that no one knew the name of. He said, shortly before he died " Certain Cities have an energy to them like no other. Paris, New York, Vegas."

Maybe Venice and Monte Carlo have their own energies. I don't know, but I know that Vegas is practically electrified with energy and my uncle was right.

Actually a person we were going to for allergies sees that as a problem. Most cities shut down for a few hours. Las Vegas may have too much energy that never sleeps. Makes us all too tarred.
