Sorry to get off track and thanks for the links... is there a way to collect all these threads for later off-line viewing? Perfect air time reading when you have no connection.

Thanks!

Yes, I tested and it can be done. After opening the link, just choose the Save option from the Menu.

Thanks. You will have to excuse that I have the capacity to put up only about 10-20 links at a time, but maybe there are upsides too in dividing. I'm planning to scan through all of the 2+2 threads of the 1990s. There may very well be breaks in between in the collecting and postings, time will show how the inspiration kicks in at different times!

Thanks for including the thread above as a link concerning poker history. Of course in broader terms it deals with Vegas hotel-casino history.

Yes, Vegas has a bit of a special place when it comes to poker history. I have saved some links from 1998 about how to manage in Vegas as a poker player, not directly concerning only the poker rooms. Coming up in due time...
