   Maybe the new boss will fire the inept casino manager and table games manager, and replace them with people intelligent enough to remove the ridiculous ripoff blackjack games that have chased off all but the stupidest of customers, and customers willing to play the $100 minimum six-deck games. With present management, the Hilton will soon be gasping its last breaths. The sportsbook is the only competently-run component of what once was a good casino.

   Rudy Prieto is a very nice guy who was in a bad situation. Losing Ira Sternberg was also a big blow. Never heard of this new guy, but he's got big shoes to fill.

   We can only hope that the new Boss not only knows his stuff but is able to see through the multiple layers of poor management, harassment, favoritism and genuine ineptness that plague our Hotel/casino. She was once the jewel of Vegas and so many people miss that. Help bring her back to her grand status

   Gaming? Doesn't that mean some sort of contest?

   Have you been in a crap game at the Hilton lately?

   In my opinion this is how
   the game has changed.

   the padding has all been taken out of the crap tables
   ...now there is a hard surface with the felt layed
   on top of it.

   and the dice are called "Razor Edge" Dice.
   and they are made out of
   pressed cotton.

   and the effect this has on
   the dice:
   sometimes they will skip
   down the table like someone
   skidding a rock across the
   water.....and then the sharp
   points of the dice will catch in the felt and a
   seven will appear...usually after you have already established a point.

   and for the last 3-4 weeks
   the Slots in my opinion are
   about a 20% pay back.

   Yes, i too long for the Grand Old Hilton...but i am
   afraid that once they pull off the manipulation of the
   Table Games and the Slots...
   that they will never go back
   to the way it use to be.

   In closing they can only do
   it to the locals as long as
   we condone it by continuing to play there.

   I LONG FOR THE GOOD OLE' DAYS.
