    Here is a review of the Jockey Club Air B+B on the Strip. I have seen this place and always wondered what it was. I expected loads of little chaps to be staying there.

    hey guys & gals :D:D 
    Am back, will write something up shortly....
    As a pointer:
    I used prenectics (ProjectScreen) via Virgin (cost £28 without discount).  Easy Process:
    You order, get an email with a PLN number (thats the ref of the order).  You book in a 12 min video slot, where they guide u through jabbing your brain up your nose, ask you to write the PLN number on the card along with your name.....
    Short while later, u get a PDF doc with results..

    Using Virgin, you use there "Fly ready" setup, so 24hrs before, u do the check-in, upload your NHS pass PDF file file, and the covid pass as above, and boom, your in ! :)

    Final point:  SLOTS SUCK A$$ !  big time, i do max bet , so either $5, $6, $7.50, $8.88 or $10......
    I wasted (according to player club stats) over $2000 on slots.  My average return from $100 and max bet play was $2.80 .
    1 machine, i pumped in $350, and the total return was $33.75 ($5 per spin)...
    Yet, my pal and seeing others, betting $2.25 or $2.50 , were getting big wins, soooooooooooooooooooooo annoying!!!

    Are you still waiting?

    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    I was only just thinking the day before they announced it that we really need to book our tests for next month. Glad I waited those extra couple of days now. 

    Look forward to hearing about your trip. Just over 20 days for us.

    I'll probably make a TR which includes the few days from May and then our proper trip next week...
    I'm gonna invest some time & money in Video Poker this trip, see if i can get lucky on 1 of those machines.
