By now everyone has heard what happened at the Ziegfried & Roy show, so I won't go into it here. You can read the Las Vegas Review Journal article Here
I'd like to thank Casino Player magazine for publishing what I've been unsuccessfully trying to explain to my friends for ages. The top 10 best and worst table-game bets you can make at a casino. Today I'll post the top 10 worst. Check back tomorrow for the top 10 best.
Top 10 Worst Table-Game Bets:
1. Big Six Wheel: All Bets
2. Sic Bo: All bets except on Small and Big
3. Caribbean Stud Poker: Progressive Jackpot Bet
4. Let It Ride: Bonus Side Bet
5. Casino War: Tie Bet
6. Craps: Any 7, bet on 2/12 and 3/11, *Hop and Horn Bets
7. Baccarat / Minibaccarat: Tie Bet
8. Craps: Hard 4 and 10, Any Craps, and C/E
9. Craps: Big 6 and 8 and Hard 6 and 8
10. Roulette: Five-number bet on 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3 (double-0 wheel)
*OK, I'll admit a guilty pleasure to Hop bets. It will impress the tourists who have no idea what it is. Just don't try it in Atlantic City. The dealer will catch your chips before they hit the table!

The Celine Dion show running at Caesar's Palace continues to get bad reviews. The temperature in the theater soars into the upper 80's as to not damage Celine's 'oh-so-delicate' voice and a 21-year old stand-in has been hired to replace Celine in the scene where she flys through the air with a male dancer. Celine is getting paid $100 million for a 3 year 600 show contract that expires in March of 2006
