Let me get this straight
Len and Bob claimed Howry pitched last night. And pitched perfect.
I simply refuse to believe it. MLB.tv must be acting up again.

Cheaper tables and looser slots than most of the other, “prettier” strip hotels.

haven't been...
Have just had better luck, personally, at Harrah’s than elsewhere, but I suppose it is all kind of subjective. We started going there because they had $1 drafts. The “free” drinks weren’t coming quite fast enough for us at the other hotels. Also, I’m not quite classy enough yet for the $15-$25 minimums at most of the table on strip over the weekend. Harrah’s has $2-5 craps and blackjack.
I liked handing out at TI as well, but that’s just because I have a thing for pirates.
The mall/shops at Caeser are worth checking out as well. Bellagio has a nice sportsbook.
It is August though, so be prepared to be HOT
