I've have been going to Vegas for the CES show almost every year since 1983. I never threw away - because that's what it is - anymore than $150. The last 5 years I haven't even played a quarter.

My best night in Vegas was a drunken one around 1988. I played from midnight until 7 AM on $20 at the Stardust on $2 Blackjack. I never went over $35 & I never went bust until I just threw it all in at 7 AM. Free drinks & multiple dealers until the sun came up. Then a drunken business meeting at 8 AM.

We do go to the track for ponies once a year just for fun but it's a lunch & bet sort of thing.
