To clarify The Big Smoke. $150 gets you a voucher from each cigar manufacturer,you redeem thsese for cigars which you keep. I think the cigars are worth $350-$400, you don't get dinner per se, there a several high quality restaurants there, they give samplers. Many premium liquor and beers are also there, as much as you want. It is certainly a value. One could easily get $500 in value for each ticket. It is a dressy event. Some celebs do attend. Hamilton's cigar bar is sweet, a little overpriced. On to BJ; how are things at Harrah' and Rio? Any hand held games, I'm thinking of staying at one of those instead of the cheapass Stratosphere.I'm also looking for some other opinions of CC for SD and DD. I thought they were decent even though I got clobbered, they seemed beatable with decent cards.
