Random Things Learned at Reno

What random things did you learn in Reno this year?

My teammate and I learned that arriving 6 hours before the rest of your team sucks, and if the casino people catch you falling asleep on camera they send the cop security guard guy over to harass you. It is against their policy to be sleeping in the lobby :no:

It took me 8 times to learn that you have to be 21 to be on the casino floor! Can you imagine that!!

Go figure, a 21 year old's money is more valuable than mine!

I tell ya, I can throw down with the best of them. Believe you me, next year, I'm going to let each dealer and pit boss know I'm 21, 8 times before I take their money......then one time after, just in case they forgot.

Great, I've just jinxed myself..........I guess i'll join the rest of the poor people, after I've had my a** handed to me by the casino.......Yikes!

this is what i learned.....if you are going to go skiing right after you get done jumping....make sure that you know that there is only one shuttle that goes to the mountain at 7 a.m. BEFORE you rent your skiis......

Will you be 21 next year Bobby? Hehe I will be :P I am too cheap (and poor) to gamble though. However, I have heard some pretty funny stories about stuff that has happened in the bar...
