Bill I appreciate and understand your comments. There have been several times I have felt and experienced the same thing. There have also been times and trips the Wife and I hit unbelievable numbers of strikes for very little money. I really believe these things run in cycles. We really enjoy playing for strikes and collecting them. Every time we go to Vegas we have a strike budget. Our attitude is what will be will be. At least we always come home with some kind of strikes. How many people go to Vegas, spend thousands and come home with nothing? Anyway I hope your next trip you have much better luck. Mike SS # 851
