On the other hand, it really, really sucks to dump money into repairing some 15 year old bucket for way too much because cars just get old and parts don't last forever. I have a beater from 1989 and I've probably put twice the amount I bought it for into repairs since I got it and I'm on the verge of just eating a car payment on something $8-10k instead because having a car that pre-dates mandatory airbags is probably going to get me killed at some point, if being stranded on the side of the road waiting for another tow every 8-10 months doesn't do it first.

This is pretty common when a company is paying you to go to school/get certified somewhere else. That story read like he had to pay the company back $15k for in-house training. Basically a $15k fee to leave the company, ever. I wonder how well that'd ever hold up legally, but of course you'd have to have the resources to challenge it!

https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/question/triple-zero-roulette/ Vegas is moving towards Triple Zero Roulette It’s exactly like regular roulette, except the house wins 2.5% more often It was originally intended to be roulette with a lower minimum bet - less cash passing through the table but the house keeps a larger cut then they discovered they could raise the minimum bet to be the same as the old tables, put them directly next to the objectively better 2-zero tables, and people would still play them when given a choice This on top of the fact that the United States is basically the only place where the double zero wheel is standard

Squinky v2.0 posted:https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/question/triple-zero-roulette/ I was in Vegas for Christmas last year (wife and I decided 'gently caress in-laws, this is our year') and it blew my mind how few of the regular games are still there. I went through six casinos before I found a standard-rules blackjack table, and even then it had a $50 minimum bet. The lower tables all either ran 4:3, had modified dealer hit/stand rules, or sometimes both. One of the MGM casinos I was in had also dropped free drinks except in the high-roller area, so you couldn't even justify it as "well, at least I'm not paying $12 for a Guinness" while sitting at the table. Gambling is really hard to stomach when you know how hosed the odds are.

You have to go downtown to "old" Vegas to get anything worthwhile. My favorite is $2 roulette with $.50 chips at El Cortez. You can actually play for a while and enjoy drinks with the craziest people you'll ever meet.

Gambling is pure entertainment so I don't sweat the Expected Loss Per Hour metric of a game, but I can't imagine wanting to play Roulette. Roulette is a pure, slow transferring of your money to the house without even really DOING anything. Craps is fun, social/interactive, and actually has the best odds in a casino. Blackjack is also acceptable. (but all Casino Games are BWM)

You can actually play for a while and enjoy drinks with the craziest people you'll ever meet. El Cortez is the best. The most fun I had in Vegas was at their $2/4 limit poker. One guy had been there, at the table (eating his meals there and everything), for about 20 hours when I sat down. He had gotten 4 queens at like 1am, and he decided he would hold on and "protect" his daily high hand jackpot until he could collect it at midnight. It's the last hand before midnight, he and one other guy check all the way down to the end when there are 3 aces showing. The other guy bets and our jackpot hero calls and loses to 4 aces in the last hand of the day, that only reached the minimum pot requirement because of his call. It was mayhem. Another night there was a local who kept falling asleep at the table. The dealer would shout his name and dude would jerk his head up and yell "check!" Best Vegas hotel strategy is to get a deal on the strip for a couple of weeknights and then stay in downtown for the weekend.
