It looked like a hit, but it was two people from the Paris offering me scads of perks for joining the horse racing betting club (I don't actually remember the name of the club). I had to be honest with them and tell them I don't come to Vegas that often, and when I do it's usually for business. Still, they wanted me to join. So I did. Never played there again.
My brother and the degenerates he hung out with used to play at the Imperial Palace. Hey, if the totes work and they are reasonable about comps, why not?

i had a friend of mine putting in bets for me 30 years ago at the Imperial Plaza. we had $200 to win on a first time starter at Pimlico and the IP wouldn't pay the winning ticket claiming that we fixed the race. it took us 5 months to collect and had to go in front of the gambling commission to eventually get paid. it was only a $15 horse.
