Alright, 1st question! This is an easy one! Here are a couple of pics from my singles collection. They are all Vegas. I stayed at one of these casinos/hotels on my 1st trip to Vegas? Which place did I stay at?

Alright, question #2!
Like I mentioned, I had very little exposure to gambling growing up. Just some craps at parties in HS and some nickel and dime poker in college. To be honest, going to Vegas after I turned 21 really wasn’t on my radar. My really good friend and I returned home from college after our Junior year in college. His 21st was in June. He immediately started talking about making a Vegas trip before our Senior year. It didn’t take long to convince me. Plans came together that summer, and we went to Vegas the last week of Summer Break. My Casino Chip Collection started that trip with the attached two chips. I also included a pic of me from that trip.

So the question is; What year was this?

One guess per member. First correct answer wins the 2nd MGM Grand DB!

Last question!
That 1st trip I attended craps “school” at Palace Station. Again, I had shot some craps in HS, but never in a casino. I wanted to understand all the bets and how the game flowed in a formal setting. That night I went back to craps tables at PS for my first craps session. I bought in for $40, and the table got hot! I had two regulars on each side of me, and I started coping a lot of their bets. I had a fun table, and had found my favorite game (I still prefer a fun, profitable craps table to playing poker). I walked away with a huge cash (Again, remember this is 1999 and I was a broke college student).

So the final question is; How much did I cash out for on that first session (down to the exact dollar)?

Remember, multiple guesses are allowed for this question. Winner gets the NYNY sample set.

I may offer some “higher” or “lower” hints as the game goes on! GL!

No correct answers, yet.

For a little context, it was a $3 craps table and the $40 was a big gamble for me at the time
