That's also why the carpets are obnoxiously patterned - so you don't look at the floor, you look at the games. Simple – the casinos don’t want you to watch the clock, they want you to keep playing.

]]> Comment on Has anyone ever had this alcoholic drink? by Mikaela http://casinoguidebook.com/blog/has-anyone-ever-had-this-alcoholic-drink/comment-page-1/#comment-687 Mikaela Sat, 04 Sep 2010 16:15:46 +0000 http://casinoguidebook.com/blog/has-anyone-ever-had-this-alcoholic-drink/#comment-687 As far as I know VESPER was created through the fiction of Ian Fleming. The original was supposed to have "Kina Lillet", which no longer exists under this name. There is a white Lillet and a red Lillet. Lillet has a taste of a wine -well, it is wine as a matter of fact -just like Martini is a wine. I am not a wine expert, so I cannot tell you too much about the process etc. of how Lillet is made. Anyway, about the drink itself. I have re-created it during the last New Year's Eve. I thought it would taste a little bit better... so I got slightly disappointed after tasting it. It is a very strong alcoholic drink (just look at the percentages of vodka and Gordon's)... According to me, the most important part for this drink is too keep it cold. Forget about room-temperature. I have experimented with the entire recipe a little bit and after I added fresh lemon juice, the drink tasted better. In the end, I think that iced Lillet with lemon is the best :) As far as I know VESPER was created through the fiction of Ian Fleming.

The longer you're in the casino, the more free drinks they can serve you. As you become more intoxicated, you'll lose track of time while you're having fun and you'll spend more money. Ever played a friendly game of cards at your home with friends? It's very easy to lose track of time because you're having fun. It's the same in casinos.

One of the croupiers said that the Casino owners did not want punters realizing how long they had been losing money at the tables. Some "punters" will sit and play all night and the tables will stay open whilst there is one player with chips in front of him willing to play. If they looked up and saw the time they may (if losing) decide to leave. Those on a winning streak don't care about time. There are no winners in Las Vegas, whatever you win one day you give back the next. Its a great place though and so much to do and see (if you manage to hang on to your money). Well worth a visit.

I can be on here for what seems like a very short time, but then I look at my watch - & find it's 1-2am!!! I hope this is not just something that happens to me!!!
