Sometimes when you're playing in a casino, things happen that force you to decide whether or not you want to become a poker or a casino cheat. By that I mean mistakes are often made by dealers or other casino personnel in your favor, mainly that you are paid more money than you should have been on any given bet or circumstance. If you accept the unintentional "favor" and don't say anything, does this make you a cheat...or a "passive cheat" to say the least? In my opinion it does not, as most ordinary people out having a good time in casinos would probably just keep the extra payout and say nothing. After all, no one is getting hurt, especially the casino. What do you think?

I came across an interesting survey in the Chicago Herald about this question. Here it follows:

Every once in a while at the casino, the dealer, or the cashier, or another player will do you a little "favor." Sometimes another customer will receive one of these favors while you look on. There's only one little hitch with all of these "favors" however. They were mistakes - and weren't supposed to happen!

Back on July 25, I asked you, the reader whether you'd accept any or all of these mistakes/favors if they were to happen to you. This is how you replied.

Favor #1: You got paid on a blackjack loser.

Consensus: Keep the money. Over 80 percent of the readers said they would keep a mistaken payoff on their losing blackjack hand. Their reasons were that since the house has a built-in advantage anyway, it's OK to accept a financial favor that results from the casino not doing its job correctly. Very few felt obliged to return the casino's chips and their own to the dealer.

One contrarian however, stated that there are many legal advantages obtainable at blackjack, so why go outside the rules to accept one? Another said it was his goal to "beat 'em" - not "cheat 'em" and would return the money.

Favor #2: Dealer forgot to pick up your losing craps prop.

Consensus: Let it ride. Here too, most readers said they would happily accept a free second chance at winning their craps proposition bet, such as on the "hard 8." The same general sentiments applied as with the blackjack hand above, but there were a few dissenters.

One reader cited how some craps dealers attentively coach the players on how to bet appropriate amounts so as to receive maximum odds on their wagers. This reader felt allowing a proposition loser to remain in action would constitute "stepping over the line."

Favor #3: You found a $100 chip beneath a high roller's feet.

Consensus: Split decision. This seemed to be the stickiest scenario of all. Some said if it looked as if the chip belonged to that player, they would simply point it out to him. Others felt was a simple "finder's/keepers" situation. Still others said they would get security involved and let them decide.

Favor #4: You saw a player receive more chips than his buy-in.

Consensus: Unanimously, "Not my business." Everyone said it is the casino's responsibility to count up the buy-in accurately and give the correct number of chips to a new player.

Some even emphasized that they would remain silent to avoid the possibility of a confrontation with the customer who was buying in.

Favor #5: The wrong poker hand was awarded the pot at your table.

Consensus: Split decision. I was surprised at how many readers said they would sit by and allow the pot to be pushed to a player holding the losing poker hand. Only about half said they would stop the dealer and point out the correct winning hand.

The official rule by the way, is that once the cards are shown down, any player at the table has the full right to point out the winning hand.

Also, the house bears no financial responsibility in this matter, and once the cards are mucked (tossed into the discards), the transaction is an officially done deal.

Favor #6: Cashier at the cage gave you $100 too much.

Consensus: Split decision. About 60 percent of the readers said they would return the overpayment at the cashier's cage for various reasons. Some felt the till would come up short and that cashier might either be docked or fired.

Others simply felt bound by their honor not to accept an overpayment in cash for their chips.

The other side reasoned that the casinos get way too much of the customers' money anyway, and any "refund" the players can get should happily be kept.

The Lake Mead Visitor Center is located off of U.S. 93, four miles southeast of Boulder City and should be your first stop if you have never visited before. The drive from Las Vegas to Boulder Harbor is 33 miles and takes about 45 minutes. Although much of Lake Mead must be experienced by boat, the various campgrounds, marinas, lodges, and other facilities clustered around the lake make it possible for non-boaters to enjoy it as well. If your visit is only going to last a few hours take a ride aboard Lake Mead Cruises which offer paddle wheel boat tours of the lake. Food service is available at Las Vegas Boat Harbor, Lake Mead Marina which is now a part of Las Vegas Boat Harbor, and Callville Bay. Facilities include snack bars, restaurants and some lounges. Most provide beautiful panoramas of the lake or views of the boat harbor. Take a break from Las Vegas and enjoy the beautiful desert scenery around Lake Mead, Nevada.

Subsurface watering systems will deliver only what is needed, eliminating waste. Watering systems will never use potable water, which in our climate should only be for drinking, cooking and bathing anyway. Gray water will be processed on-site through simple filtration systems and then used for both indoor and outdoor plants. Buildings and landscapes will capture rainwater using underground cisterns, maximizing the value of every drop.
Toilets will not use any water at all since wastes will be safely processed locally in composting systems that produce clean, healthy and valuable soil nutrients. These nutrients will help build local soils, enhancing plant growth. This will come to be viewed as much more desirable than the current practice of mixing human waste with industrial toxins as we send them back into our source of clean drinking water. The toxic sludge from waste treatment plants across the country is already being used as fertilizer on industrialized food crops, though most folks are unaware of this dangerous practice. Local processing of human waste turns a liability into an asset.
Thus new communities will no longer require expensive sewer infrastructure. Pollution levels in local water supplies will plummet. These localization strategies will save money for homeowners, developers and local governments, ultimately reducing the tax burden currently needed for the expensive maintenance of centralized sanitation systems.
By reusing every gallon of water at least once and perhaps more, energy-intensive water pumping and treatment also will be greatly reduced, saving homeowners money and further reducing pollution.
Every home will become very energy efficient. Older homes will be improved through affordable energy-efficiency programs implemented by local governments. Eventually our homes will produce more power than they need and the excess will charge electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids, from bikes to full-size cars and trucks. Gasoline consumption will drop by 80 percent or more.
A smart energy grid will evolve that will function interactively, somewhat like the Internet does now. As localized efficiency improvements are implemented in business and industry, our power needs will drop enough to close the Reid Gardner coal plant in Moapa, the dirtiest in the nation, without having to build additional fossil or nuclear energy facilities. Old plants will remain online to provide the reduced amount of base load power needed until the full transformation to geothermal and other renewable sources is complete.
Every step in this journey of localization will result in protecting valuable natural resources while also reducing pollution. It will create a more resilient and self-sufficient community while improving and diversifying our economy. It also will provide incredible economic opportunities as businesses adapt to deeper shades of green.

The city of Mumbai used to be known as Bombay. This is the largest city in India and is also one of the largest, and oldest, port cities. It has become the capital of commerce in India, and is also where many Indian celebrities stay and work (Bollywood). When it comes to food, Indian cuisine is known for using spices and herbs extensively. Mumbai is a vegetarian’s heaven, as most of the food served there has no meat or fish in it. Some food does incorporate chicken or lamb, but it is very easy to find a meal in almost any restaurant that caters to a vegetarian’s needs.
Staples
There are some main staples to most Indian cuisine. One of these is rice. Rice can be found in many local dishes, as can pulses. Pulses are legumes that come in a variety of shapes, colors and flavors. Another popular Indian food is curry. Most curries in India are fried using either mustard oil or coconut oil. And, of course, numerous spices can be found in many of the dishes, including turmeric, black mustard seed, garlic, pepper and chillies.
Street Stalls
Vada paav? That is the Mumbai hallmark - prepared as bengal gram vegetable cake (like in McDonald's) inside a bun, it is perhaps the hallmark on Mumbai food and life. In Mumbai, you can find food carts in almost every corner of the city. If there is an area where a large crowd gathers, it is bound to have a few stalls nearby. There are different types of stalls in Mumbai, including sandwich stalls. These stalls do not serve traditional sandwiches, but instead serve a variation. Some are served in pitas, others in wraps, but every sandwich is different than what most visitors are used to. Experts agree that visitors that choose to enjoy Indian cuisine from street vendors should make sure that the food is prepared before their eyes, to ensure that everything is fresh.
Eating Out
Because Mumbai has become both a center for financial gain and for celebrities, many of the restaurants are up-scale and ritzy. Many good restaurants can be found situated in some of the best hotels that the city has to offer. One restaurant that has become known for its gourmet food is Ankur. Ankur is a small gourmet restaurant that is hidden behind winding streets. The chef uses only fish that has been caught locally, and makes the taste of the fish really come out, using some of the spices that Indian cuisine is known for.
For an interactive experience, guests should head to RG’s Kitchen. RG’s Kitchen is located in Hotel InterContinental. It serves dishes from India, Asia and the West. The kitchen is surrounded in glass, so that guests can watch their food being cooked by the masters.

today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Company-Wide Operating Results

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2008 increased 81.4% to $1.11 billion, compared to $612.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDAR in the second quarter of 2008 was $287.9 million, an increase of 44.1%, compared to $199.8 million in the year-ago quarter. On a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, operating income was $73.3 million versus operating income of $86.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in operating income of $13.0 million reflects an increase in revenue offset by operating expenses, including depreciation and amortization, related to our openings of The Venetian Macao in Macao and The Palazzo in Las Vegas, and an increase in corporate expense as we expand our infrastructure to execute our global growth plans.

Adjusted net income (excluding loss on disposal of assets, pre-opening expense, development expense, and loss on early retirement of debt) was $30.9 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.09, compared to $81.9 million, or adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.23, in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in adjusted net income of $51.0 million reflects the decrease in operating income mentioned above, as well as increased net interest expense. On a GAAP basis, net loss in the second quarter of 2008 was $8.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $34.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in GAAP net income of $43.2 million reflects decrease in operating income mentioned above, as well as increased net interest expense.

Second Quarter Highlights

William P. Weidner, president and COO stated, "Our second quarter results reflect both solid operating performance in Macao and Las Vegas and the measured execution of our global growth and development strategy. In Asia, our efforts to transform Macao into Asia's premier business and leisure destination steadily march forward. The Venetian Macao, the anchor of the Cotai Strip(TM), continues to consistently deliver market-leading visitation to Macao from around the region and the world, while the natural maturation process of the property's operations is now beginning to be reflected in the property's operating results. As we make final preparations for the opening next month of the Cotai Strip's second world-class destination resort, the Four Seasons Macao, we remain focused on the fundamental goal and commitment we share with the people of Macao -- the transformation of Macao into Asia's premier business and leisure destination. We remain confident that the execution of our Cotai Strip development strategy will deliver significant economic benefits to Macao and the entire region, as well as industry-leading returns to our shareholders. In Las Vegas, despite a more challenging economic environment, the combined Venetian and Palazzo complex, the largest integrated destination resort in the world, began to mature and to realize some of the significant operating efficiencies resident in our original master plan. As the Venetian and Palazzo complex continues this maturation process, we believe it is uniquely positioned to deliver strong growth and industry-leading returns in the Las Vegas market for years to come."

Las Vegas Second Quarter Operating Results

Adjusted property EBITDAR for our Las Vegas operations increased 28.1% to $106.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $83.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. On a GAAP basis, operating income for our Las Vegas operations decreased 26.2% to $42.1 million, compared to $57.0 million in the 2007 period. The increase in adjusted property EBITDAR reflects the opening of The Palazzo. The decrease in operating income reflects the increase in depreciation and amortization expense compared to the quarter one year ago, which is directly related to the opening of The Palazzo.

Las Vegas operations' table games drop was $408.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 versus $281.0 million during the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 45.3%. Slot machine handle (volume) increased 62.8% to $916.1 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $562.8 million during the second quarter of 2007. The increases in table games drop and slot handle were the result of the expansion of gaming capacity due to the opening of The Palazzo. Table games win percentage (calculated before discounts) was 20.5% in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 20.1% in the second quarter of last year. This compares to our expected range of 20% to 22%. Slot win percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) was 5.5% in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 6.1% in the second quarter last year. Casino revenues for Las Vegas operations were $126.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, compared to $85.4 million a year ago.

Las Vegas operations' hotel revenues increased 52.6% to $142.4 million versus $93.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in hotel revenues was principally due to the opening of The Palazzo.

The Venetian Las Vegas' average daily rate (ADR) was $245, compared to $266 in the second quarter of 2007. The Venetian's occupancy of available guestrooms decreased to 90.6% during the second quarter of 2008, down from 100.9% during the prior year period, as we chose to spread a portion of The Venetian's booked business over the 7,100 total suite inventory of the combined Venetian and Palazzo complex. Revenue per available room (REVPAR) at The Venetian decreased 17.2% to $222 in the 2008 period, compared to $268 in the second quarter of 2007. In its' second quarter of operation, The Palazzo's ADR was $243, while occupancy of available guestrooms was 92.9%, generating REVPAR of $226.

"The Palazzo, together with the comprehensively renovated Venetian Las Vegas and Sands Expo and Convention Center, now comprise the largest integrated resort and convention destination in the world, with approximately 7,100 all-suite rooms, 2.3 million square feet of meeting, convention and exhibition space, and world-class dining, retail, and entertainment amenities. We expect the significant back-of-house and other operating efficiencies that have been resident in our master plan for the combined complex since its inception to enable us to deliver industry-leading operating margins. We believe that our flexible and adaptable integrated Las Vegas facilities will provide an excellent platform for profitable growth and industry-leading returns, both in today's somewhat challenging economic environment, and in periods of more robust economic growth in the future.

The UK is the first powerful country in the world to pass laws allowing for the regulation of online gaming. By this September, gambling on the internet will be completely legal in the United Kingdom. Their intention is to invite offshore casinos, which are currently based on third-world islands, to come do business on their free land. Once the transition occurs, the UK will be in position to regulate and tax the 10 billion pound-a-year industry. Over the past year, the UK parliament has actively pursued laws to enable legalized and regulated online gambling within their territory. Taxation plans are currently being negotiated.

Other countries like Italy, who first banned all forms of web based wagering, are now moving to complete legalization through proper regulation. Spain and South Africa are following suit, helping to bring Internet gambling acceptance to the global marketplace. There are some countries, like Germany and France, who are leaning towards prohibition, but their purpose is to protect land-based casino gambling operations. However, protectionism goes against European Union standards and many challenges lay ahead for the liberal continent. At the opposite end of the debate, the United States has declared a prohibitive stance towards the industry citing moral issues as their argument, however they do allow brick and mortar casinos, lotteries, bingo halls, and horse racing tracks to operate legally on their land.

The Internet gambling industry changes on a month-by-month basis. Keeping up with all the current events and latest newsworthy happenings takes time and devotion. It is our duty and pleasure at Casino Gambling Web to perform this job on your behalf. We take great pride in delivering quality and relevant news pertaining to the industry so be sure to stay tuned.

Who knows? Maybe it's true. Maybe all the reporters whose sole job responsibility is to build inside connections so as to stay on top of scoops like this really are out in the cold. After all, as the site later clarified, the tip came from "a source within the Yankees organization, though not through conventional channels." If this turns out to be true, MLBNewsOnline.com will shoot to blog superstardom.

Or maybe there's no truth to the rumor at all, and perhaps MLBNewsOnline.com pulled the stunt just to see how big of waves it could create. After all, when you're an anonymous writer on a mostly anonymous blog, there's no shame in being wrong -- just switch screen names and start from scratch, and no one will hold it against you for being yet another black stain on the blogosphere's seemingly endless climb to respectability.

our guide to Tokyos districts moves on at breakneck speed. To better understand the city with a reputation for mass confusion, with tourists the most likely victims, it makes absolute sense to step back and view Tokyo in piecemeal fashion.
Japan after all, is a country famous for urban and district division. Prefectures, wards, towns and a myriad of other municipal partitions are the hallmarks of the countrys post World War II infrastructure overhaul. The attention to detail is almost comical at times. A city is not a city by strict definition in Japan unless it contains more than 50,000 people. Once the threshold has been breached, the area adopts a new form of municipal designation, regulations and government.
With a population so big, in such a small space, Japans approach may be the most innovative and brilliant of all. It may require months to decipher but hey, this is precisely what our little guide to Tokyo is all about.

[Front paged: NM] There is no way to save us from our dependence on oil, we are told, except to drill for more oil wherever it can be foundand some will even tell us its possible that theres so much oil not yet discovered off the coast that all our problems will be over once we poke a few holes in the ground and git er done. Of course, its also possible there are monkeys to be found in certain of my body cavitiesand Im hoping most fervently that no one proposes drilling in my ANWAR in an effort to find out. But what if there was another way? What if we could afford to convert our gas-powered cars to something elsesomething that could reduce our national gasoline consumption by 70%? Something we could put into place just as quickly as offshore wells could be drilledand maybe even faster. A Manhattan Project of fleet conversion, if you will. Well, Gentle Reader, I think we canand today we examine a way it might be done.
