1. A note from the Dice Coach. All you have to do is buy a block of video time, then watch the videos that are of most interest to you. The more you buy, the more bonus time we give to you. Right now we have around 46 videos uploaded and we expect to have around 90 when we finish the project. Five are FREE videos, with more coming. We are also featuring a series of "Living in Las Vegas" free videos that we will upload about once a month or so - just fun updates on things to do in Las Vegas, items of special interest, as well as various celebrations and holidays. So enjoy and let us know how you like the videos. Pablo and I are having a great time with this project. *************************** Next Hilton Tournament is Oct. 24th. -26th. 2008.Speaking of the Hilton tournament ... The Dice Coach and his video crew went out today to shoot the May video for our “Living in Las Vegas Series.” Our camera crew consists of Pablo (Web Master) his wife Pat, Beth (Mrs. Dice Coach) and myself. We started the day off at PT’s for breakfast, then on to the Las Vegas strip for our video series. Our new video should be up on our Home page shortly. When we finished our videoing on the Strip I decided we all needed to go to the Hilton to qualify for the Oct. Craps tournament. We all entered the Hilton through the sports book area and headed for the craps tables. When we got to the craps tables, two were open, one was full and the other was completely empty. Beth and I split a buy-in
bankroll as did Pat and Pablo.
At breakfast we taught Beth and Pat
how to set for a come out 11 “YO”.
Beth was the first shooter at SR2
and made two passes and several numbers, but no come out 11.
I (the Dice Coach) shot next and
guess what?
Point and 7 out, ouch!!
Beth is set to throw the dice for her second time, set the dice for the 3V threw an on axis 6/5 “YO” on the first toss. We all had $5.00 on the YO and $5.00 on the World Bet. She hit several craps numbers, so the bad World Bet became a good bet. Thanks to Beth, all four of us are entered into
the Oct. Hilton Craps Tournament!! Check out the rules for this
tournament below under Tournaments. Keep sending in your trip reports and testimonials, everyone one wants to know how you are doing? If you have an article of value to the dice community, and you would like to submit please do so. We are always looking for fresh insights to the game. Always play with an advantage; play to win, don't just play to play! Dice Coach ************************************ 2. LAS VEGAS REAL ESTATE As many of you know I have had my Nevada Real Estate license for the past three years. Since our move to Las Vegas 8 years ago, we have purchased six different properties. Some we have sold and some we have kept for investment - rental properties. Across the country the housing prices have fallen and Las Vegas is no different. Now is the time to buy in Las Vegas, I believe the prices have hit bottom and it is definitely a buyers market. The developers on new homes are now taking offers and negotiating prices where one or two years ago they would not. It is really is amazing to see the effects a buyers market can have on the price of Real Estate. For example I just sold a property in a gated community with a five acre park, -a two story home, 3 BR, 2 1/2 Bath, 2 car garage, 1505 sq. ft. with a covered front porch for under $200K. If you are interested in any Las Vegas properties either to live in, as a second home, or just for an investment, give me a call on our TOLL FREE LINE 1-866-342-3626 or call on my cell (702) 610-5617. Beau Parker aka "DICE COACH" ****************** 3. Testimonial of the Month Hi Beau and Beth, I think Jeff from New
York is just one phenomenal shooter. I want to throw the dice like him.
WOW! Just a nice easy release, hits his spot (where you told me) and a super nice
landing. Guess I need to practice that throw. At least I have an image on how
I want to throw the dice, Something to strive for. You
said he visited Vegas once a month last year. Hope he does it again. If and
when he returns would you be so kind as to email or phone me so that I can come and watch
again. Hope to make some money also. But, I will be there. I would
like to study him and you some more. Wouldn't mind making some money again though.
Hope to learn and play with you again. So until next time, take care of
yourself and Beth and always be your happy self. It's infectious. --Garry H. - California

LAS VEGAS CASINOS ROLL OUT THE DEALS: Springtime is boomtime in Las Vegas--- with pool-perfect weather drawing business travelers, gamblers, golfers, and spa-goers eager to put winter behind them. The only catch: $500.-a-night rooms, $300.meals and $200. show tickets. Not this spring. Reacting to a national economic slump that has depressed gambling revenues and room rates along the Strip, casino and hotel operators are offering up a buffet of springtime deals normally reserved for the hot, slow summer months. Already, room rates along the Strip are predicted to decline 23% through May 3. Gambling reveues recently dropped for the second straight month, and visitation is down slightly. Travel from Corpus Christi, Texas, this week good package deals on www.Cheaptickets.com three nights at the Monte Carlo hotel and casino, plus airfare for about $520. per person. Major properties up and down the Strip are running special spring rates for less than $100. per night. Big discounts are conveniently corralled in the last place you might think to look: Las Vegas official tourist Web site, www.visitlasvegas.com run by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Review-Journal April 22, 2008 ********************* DID YOU KNOW: That the Wynn Macau casino is a non-smoking casino. Knowing Steve, I'm surprised he doesn't try it here? Don't do it, it wont work! NOT SO GREAT: Word has it that the dealers at the Palazzo hae been avreaging about $140. a day in tokes. Don't forget, they are splitting with the dealers at the Venetian. I hear that the dealers at the Venetian have suffered about a 25% drop in their tokes due to this split and they aren't too happy with this arrangement. YDT: Last year dealers at the Mirage made $66,500, Golden Nugget was about $52,000, the Tuscany dealers made $41,000, Cannery dealers did about $30,000, and the dealers at Arizona Charlies (Dedatur) made $29,000. EXPENSIVE FLOWERS: In order to keep all those beautiful flowers blooming at the Bellagio, Mirage and the T/I, it takes a staff of 64 workers operating 7 days a week. The floriculture department (that's what its called) receives about 12,000 roses and about 25,000 other flowers every week to be used in all the wedding chapels, VIP rooms, lobbies and restaurants. WOW! DID YOU KNOW: That for every hotel room that is built in Las Vegas it translates into 2.5 jobs. 1.5 direct jobs those at the property and one indirect job, (teachers, doctors and bankers, etc). TIDBITS: Lake Mead get 96% of all its water from snow melting from other states. I LIKE IT: Recently the police installed a camera at the corner of Fremont and 15th. The camera was encased in a bulletproof box and it has reduced crime significantly. HOWEVER: Metro reported that in Las Vegas there were 46,522 handguns registered in 2007. Compared to 40,821 in 2006 and 32,538 in 2005. Keep in mind that those are only the ones that were registered! NOT GOOD NEWS: Many Strip casinos and even more local casinos are laying off dealers and cutting back hours. WHAT A DIFFERENCE: If you dealt at the Bellagio and had Mon. & Tues. off you made $83.300, Tues & Wed, off, $84,400, Wed. & Thurs. off $84,300, Fri. & Sat. off $78,800 and Sun. & Mon. off then you made $81,600. LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: The Venetian is going to offer high-limit baccarat tables on the companies aircraft for their customers to play during the 14 hour flights from Asia. Sounds like a good idea to me! Now, the Gaming Board said that they don't have to report revenue from these airplanes as long as they are operating over international waters. (like cruiseships) But, any wins from a customer might have to be reported for income taxes. So, if the house wins, no taxes are paid, if the player wins, taxes are paid. I wonder who the IRS is rooting for? SHOWED A LOT OF CLASS: During the three weeks that the dealers were out of work at the Monte Carlo, they were paid their basic wage and $150. a day in tokes. THATS RIGHT! $150 a day in tokes. That's more than they used to average every day. So, I gotta laugh when I hear how the joints don't take care of their dealers. The Dealer's News: Thanks Ron ************************ Month of March: New residents: 5,694, - Total employment 921,400, - Unemployment rate 5.7%, - New home sales 891, - Commercial permits 58, - Existing home sales 1,529, - Median new home price $283,000, - Taxable Sales $3.49 billion, - Gaming revenue $865.9 million, - Visitor volume 3.51 million, - McCarran passengers 3.58 million.
