Jayde, that was Pai Gow Poker. A simple game that usually, you can play for a long time on not much money. Some of the casinos only give you 1/2 points on your players club card for Pai Gow cause the odds are so close to even.
Of course, you can always get a run of bad cards and lose your proverbials in nothing flat.

Note that he said "See Vegas", not "leave the parking structure and actually experience Vegas."
You can definitely see Vegas from the parking structure. And on the way to and from the track.

Ok...updates...due to popular request, we have added the Oatman/Route 66 run into the schedule for Thursday all day. You guys won't get lost now, coz you'll have someone to follow.

I finally finished my writeup of AMVIV4 and it's now online. Go and suck down all that lovely bandwidth! You might see your car, or one of your photos on there.

Paypal is still being a little beotch at me, their engineers are actively working on the problem. I have, however, gone through and counted the registrations received and updated the count on the site. We should pass 200 cars registered today.

As vendors are signing up, I'm putting their banner ads and contact info on the sponsors page. If you have a look there and don't see your favorite MINI company, contact them and tell them to get moving on it.

Um...I think that's about it for now.

I'm not sure if you've noticed or not, but the link for this new section is titled "AMVIV3 2006".

Just FYI; good writeup though. Also, I've been meaning to ask about the photo show you keep mentioning. Is there more information about this somewhere? Thanks.

Oops. I thought I changed that. It's fixed now.

The photo show was something we did last year after having it requested by a number of people. People signed up ahead of time and brought photos. We supplied a 20x30 piece of foamboard, double-sided tape and wallspace to mount the boards during the Friday night mixer. Seemed to get a very positive response and there were some amazing pictures there. We're assuming that people want to do it again, so it's on the schedule.

I've searched the vendors, but does anyone thing I can get a 19mm rear antiswaybar installed whilst I wait in LV? I'm willing to pay. I'll be willing to play blackjack in the hotel while they install it.

Vendors like Way Motor Works (already paid up and definitely coming) and Webb Motorsports (no response yet) and Custom MINI Shop (also not committed yet) all did installs of anti sway bars at prior AMVIVs.
You can wander around the Boot N Bonnet Show and buy other MINI goodies while your bar is installed.
