A card is not required for cash poker but you should get a card to earn the $1 (Venetian) to $2 (Wynn/Encore) per hour in comps.

The lineups at the Wynn/Encore and Venetian for player cards are normally very short.

I don't think you can get cards online.

When I played in a tournament series at the Wynn, they had a sign-up desk for their player card in the poker room.

I like to sign up for player cards everywhere I go so I can receive email offers.

Does anyone know of any poker rooms in Las Vegas that regularly have Big O (5 card Omaha) Hi only?

I would think maybe the Orleans, but I recently looked and didn't see any running.

Thanks for any info..

I'm certain that no casino in Vegas has that regularly. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen it listed on Bravo at any casino, and I check it regularly. Of course, I don't even remember ever hearing of anyone playing that game at all. I saw Big O pot limit hi-low at Venetian a few times, but I think it was during the WSOP.

Big O is 5-card plo8

5-card plo (hi only) is a separate game.

I have rarely, if ever, seen 5-card plo hi on Bravo in Vegas anytime recently

emailed my host at Cosmo to set me and my brother in law for a weekend in November, just asked him to configure us however just make sure we had two beds and two bathrooms (figured connecting rooms or whatever). He told me he will be putting us in a two bedroom wraparound suite. Im just trying to figure out wtf that is, ive never heard of it. I see they have a two bedroom city suite on the website, but it has no balcony. Id like to avoid bothering him with this if I can, so hopefully someone here knows. If it is a city room with no balcony, i may have him change the reservation

What do you guys use for water filtration? We have a softener and the drinking water still sucks/needs to go through a Brita, and the showerheads need to be taken down and cleaned now and again. The softener is end-of-life so weighing all options here. Whole home RO seems wasteful (only a small % of water goes thru yes?) but I see some "high-flow" products.

Hoping someone else geeked out already and has all the answers TIA

Drink bottled water (spring water) and also use it for coffee and soup otherwise regular water softener for all else. Don't know your location but spring water here costs 88 cents per gallon(Walmart).

Culligan for monthly softening if you have this available but again location, location, location...

Thanks Carlo. I live over by Rancho and Oakey.

1. Trying to avoid all the bottle waste (yes I know there are solutions where the bottles are returned, etc.), but also I just want to make sure that I always have water in the house. Most importantly my wife wants to go this route and I don't want to pick this as a battle.

2. Want my fridge to make ice cubes that one could drink.

3. Want to avoid my showerhead gunking up, and having to clean my other faucets often.

So really looking for whole home filtration of some sort. Would do RO under the sink tomorrow but that wouldn't solve the ice problem.

This wouldn't be a whole house solution, but you can avoid bottle waste by refilling jugs at the supermarket for 30 cents a gallon.

Culligan is a good choice, monthly fee and softner is changed monthly. they can give what your looking for. i don't think ther is any softner system that will make your drinking water and ice cubes real tasty but it and others are passable and worth it.

One is expensive, the other one isn't.

the cost opportunity of taking an uber from the airport isn't worth the $4 or $5 you save. Unless things have changed it took us 15 minutes to walk to the ride share pickup. As long as you don;t get long hauled it's only going to be $20 or so to mid strip in a taxi. The only way I would opt for an uber at this point would be if the cab line was insanely packed

I can see if you said "my uber took 15 minutes to get there" but the ride-share is: out a different door than the taxi, across to the parking garage (and there's a cop stopping traffic there so never a material wait), and up two floors (and there are 6 elevators in that bank)

Like I've had long walks from gate to pickup, but it's basically the same distance to taxi as uber.

I guess my view is: if there's no taxi line, Uber's cheaper and just as efficient, and there's no chance of long haul. And if there is a taxi line, you definitely want to uber even if it costs more.

My only bad uber experience from airport was a driver who got to town like the day before and couldn't figure out how to get to the pickup. Circled the airport like 4 times

This is exactly my thought process, especially when it's a million degrees outside

With the average length of McCarrans taxi line, I don't think taking a cab is really faster than walking an extra 2-3 minutes for ride share pick-up?

If it took you 15 minutes to get to the ride share pick-up, you probably took a wrong turn somewhere?

FWIW, Any of the shuttles are way cheaper and run frequently.

Last 2 times I went it was hot as balls and I wasn't familiar with the lyft pickup spot somewhere in the parking garage so just hopped in a cab (no line) cause who cares about 5 bucks in Vegas

If youre by yourself then this is true, but if you have 3+ people then a cab ends up being cheaper
