Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning
The airport stuff really isn't that bad. We had 4 flights with 4 of us and other than them eventually refusing my requests for body cavity searches, it went smoothly.

If possible, don't use the center security line at MSP. EVERYONE uses that one. See if there is another one open on the ends. They usually are, and no lines. Other than that, the airport stuff isn't bad at all.

Gotta pack as well. Early flight tomorrow morning up north for a few days.
Is it bad that I'll probably be bringing at least 3 Wings jerseys and 3 Yankees jerseys? Can't decide which ones to wear, so I'll bring them all and figure it out then.

For the 2 hockey games, of course. For the 2 baseball games? Of course not

In a previous life I flew a ton. Not so much anymore. I would have to brush up on airport stuff as well.

Since we're on the topic of flying, how's Vegas for flying in and out of since I'm going there for work Thursday.

No clue. About 15 years ago I flew there a few times a month and back then it was a piece of cake.
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning
12 years ago for me. Simple enough. Know the route to your hotel, to avoid scam taxis that take a longer route. That's about the only advice I can give.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning
That's universal. Frankly, 1 hour is okay from my past experiences in the last 4-5 years. Flew at least once a year, mostly twice a year, early early flights (7-8am mostly). Just be prepared. No metal on person, no checked bags (I can pack 3-4 days of clothes in a LEGAL carry-on). Never had problems.

Already insane, UAA making it worse
Bring some small bills and make a few pulls on the slots.
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning
IIRC, worst odds. Why? Because what else is there to do at the airport but gamble?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning
Yup. I've heard as low as 85% return on slots at McCarran.
Stick to plain old blackjack. Avoid most of the "Super Happy Fun Flaming Can't Bust 21" type games with wacky rules - most of them end up giving the house an edge.
Try craps if you're comfortable playing (just playing the pass line is adequate, most other bets are sucker bets.)
Video poker is okay IF AND ONLY IF you play flawlessly - research strategy online. Rule of thumb is always hold a pair over anything else, don't hold any kickers, just the pair. MAYBE break up a pair for 4 to a flush or better, but that's it.
Roulette is meh, you can do better with respect to house odds.
Avoid slots unless you're killing time, burning off change, or hunting for comps.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #175: More Spring Cleaning
Blackjack is my game. A buddy of mine KNOWS craps, so I followed his lead. Otherwise, avoid. Video poker, I only played to cool down from blackjack, and the machine HAD to have the option of doubling your winnings with High/Low bonus game afterwards (and the ascension/descension of cards IS in effect there)*. Avoid all non-poker slots.
*Hi-lo. If you win, you can double-or-nothing your winnings. Pay attention to the computer's card. It'll go, say, from 2 to 5 to 8 to 10 to A. Gamble when you win the minimal win. Get the scale going. When you hit somewhat big, and your previous hi-lo was a 2? You want to play that bonus hi-lo.
