I was in Las Vegas the end of October and as you say;somedays it's steaks and other days it's sawdust.Played the 4 Queens and it cost me over $100.00 to get a pink capsule and 2 others.Went to the slots a fun and got 4 pink capsules and over 40 traders for just over $150.00;went to the Stardust and got 18 for $25.00.Just boils down to being in the right place at the right time.
