Surprise, surprise. The Orleans took delivery of the new silver strikes. The set of four is in the jewelry box, although there are still a few of the old original set remaining in the hoppers. The new strikes consist of the 'Gator series, a set of four: Flag, Hat, Slot Player and (I think) Musical Instrument. Thanks to the Orleans and Anchor for a nice added bonus to the Tournament weekend.

By the way, I hear that the new Irish Pub at The Orleans is worth a visit. Now there are Irish Pubs at the Regent, Palace Station and Orleans. Tomorrow the world! No Irish jokes about six packs and potatoes and seven course meals, please.
