Hoow bad is the IP?

dude I bet baseball and play a little blackjack(who fucking calls it 21, you fucking troll) usually counting aces-5s but if I am drinking, just playing by the book.  Some of us can handle our liquor and not lose our minds in Vegas, but at the end of the night, I will surely be drunk enough that I am not concerned about if I am sleeping in a suite at the Wynn or a dump like the IP.....

Plus you book the room is booked before the trip captain fucking genius, therefore losing everything I owned would not affect where I would be staying.

Bellagio hotel and sports book here cock sucka.

Lol Kelly_Slater, I don't think the guy is looking for a fight. You guys stop being ridiculous and rejoice in the idea of VEGAS! 

rejoice tool box 

Lol ok. Such an angry guy

Disregard the above ^ wrong thread 

Wow Kelly Slater you are such a online bad ass.  Teach me your secrets please.

IP will get the job done, doesn't matter where you sleep in Vegas. Go down to Casino Royalle to drink too, walk right out of Harrah's into it. Now the place is not Bellagio, but the beer is cold and it's a $1.50 all day ! Good place to to down the beers dude !

maybe 10 years ago, but the Bellagio is not the best hotel in Vegas anymore....

But I won't be cool if I don't pay top dollar for beers, lol  

Did I fuck your girl or something?

You said the Bellagio is the best hotel in Vegas, and it isn't. It's nice, but certainly isn't the best anymore...

It isn't my 1st rodeo, just the first time in staying in a dumb on the strip


Besides you fucking cocksucker, if you are too good for the IP, then how do you know bad it really is? Either you are lying and have stayed there, or you are just a fuckwit looking for attention on a covers forum...


Exactly, so shut the fuck up.

Now we all know nothing is free in this world,but we get your drift. Bellagio is nice, personally I think the Super Book in the LVH is the best book, but everybody has an opinion.

I said it's not ht best hotel, you said it was the best all around hotel and sportsbook. I said it's not. LVH is a better book....

LVH does not give free drinks. 

Bellagio book is definitely great, but the Hilton err LVH does give free drinks as long as you placed a wager.  (well I guess it could have changed in the last few months)


Besides, I am saving so much dough by staying at the IP dump, I can afford to buy my own drinks now, lol

Okay, first of all this guy says he is a card counter and he says nobody calls it “21”.  May I remind him that Edward Thorp's book, which started the entire ensuing counting era, which took Vegas for millions, was entitled, “Beat the Dealer/A Winning Strategy for the Game of 21”.  Clearly, if this "wasted player" is a card counter, he knows little of the history of the game.  He doesn’t even use the term the professionals players use.  Moreover, I lived in Las Vegas for over 20 years and most of the dealers I knew stated the number of “21 tables” in their shop and which 21 tables the pit bosses assigned to them.  This term was their commonplace language.  Obviously, this guy is a newbie to my former town.  Again, my take, he will drink too much, gamble too much, and lose most of his money.  Since, my pensions are based in part on this kind of player, I wish him luck, but I know he and many others who know little of the odds in this town, will continue to fund my retirement checks.  Please, keep coming back.  We need you whether you stay at the Wynn or the dump known as the IP.: A Winning Strategy for the Game of Twenty-Beat the Dealer: A Wi nning Strategy for the Game of Twenty-One (Random House 1962, 1966 House 1962, 1966).

Yeah in the 1980s people called it 21, not so much today. Maybe the older generation still does, but the name is fucking blackjack, not 21. 

I am not a legit card counter, Aces-5s is not very sophisticated stuff, and I don't play the tables that often (you know, because the house has the favor) and stick to sports for more of my plays.


Jesus, some of you guys are ridiculous

21 is a basketball style game, lol

Good Luck "Uncle Gimp." IP isn't the best place but the Strip has something to offer everyone's budget. I'm going over Memorial Day Weekend and will be staying at Mandalay Bay, highly recommended. I would also suggest that for what you pay for IP you could upgrade for only a few bucks more and stay at the more respectable Luxor.

And I've lived in San Diego for three years counting and go to Las Vegas a lot and Mandalay Bay is a better value for your money than Bellagio and has a way better Sports Book.  When they opened in 1997, the ad campaign for Mandalay Bay was "90% of Bellagio for 50% of the price."  And it's still true.  And all MGM properties give you a slip for a free drink in the sports book, and more slips if you wager more. 

Mr. Slater, While I completley agree with you that the IP is a dump, I cant help but not appreciate they way you talk to this gentleman, He did serve our Military proud, Id expect the covers community to show a little bit more respect for our members who proudly served our country, as many of them didnt come back fighting the war on terror.

The majority are right, the IP is a complete shithole but as you said, you are using it only to sleep and shower, Makes sense, also you cant beat the price to be right in the middle of the strip.

Enjoy your trip, I hope you make a fortune, You deserve it.
