Finally - an end to a Vegas trip report. 12.06.2026

Janice and Paul FINALLY finish their report on their Christmas trip to Vegas.  Yes, it has only taken them 6 months.  They report on Red Rock Casino, Durango, Sam's Town, and a bunch of other places that are technically for "locals" but have SOOOO much good video poker.  And they hit a bunch of non-gambling things - because that is the way they roll (or at least Paul does, and Janice puts up with...

AC Expressing! 01.05.2026

Janice and Paul are back on the road - talking about a run to Atlantic City (with a quick bookends Foxwoods stay on the way).  Along the way, they may (or may not) have gotten some bad clams at Mohegan Sun, done the "AC express",  stayed in the atrium suites at Harrah's AC, and played everywhere except Resorts, Tropicana, and Borgota - and also Ocean, but not for lack of trying.  They eat at Angel...

A solo trip to Foxwoods/Mohegan 27.03.2026

Proving that the gimps have zero ability to stay on topic, Janice and Paul veer off and talk about Janice's solo trip to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.  Janice gets invited to a slot tournament (always a bad sign) and is there to witness some of the resort's anniversary celebrations.  She struggles to find food - and then finds that the Buffet of Despair now has a twin.  And there's video poker, of cou...

Janice and Paul continue their trip report on their December trip to Vegas.  They merrily trip (and roll) through the center strip, and, for the first time, migrate up to the northern strip to stay at Fountainbleau.  Food, video poker, and casinos (not) blaring christmas music...what more could you want?   Email comments/thoughts (keep it clean):  gimpygambler@yahoo.com .

The Gimps do Vegas - Part I. 18.02.2026

Janice and Paul talk about their trip to Vegas in December over the Christmas holiday.  Video poker on the strip, and visits to places off-strip.  Among other topics - the joys of multiroom bookings, a totally opinion-based rating of rooms at the Cosmo, Paris, Main Street Station, Fountainbleu, and Durango, a tour down the strip to Mandalay Bay, and the inevitable elevator wheelchair stranding.  

A video poker tour - Foxwoods, Mohegan, Encore Boston 20.12.2025

Janice and Paul report on a Thanksgiving trip to Encore, Boston, and Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.  They report on the poshness of Encore, the fire damage at Foxwoods, and the new VP ghetto in Mohegan.  They try out Morimoto's place in Foxwoods and of course visit the Buffet of Dispair, which only gets more Dispairy.  Oh, and they hit a royal..sorta.  

Vegas, Foxwoods, and more planning for the Gimpy Gambler. 15.11.2025

Janice and Paul talk about Vegas planning for a trip In December as well as a Encore Boston and Foxwoods trip in November.  Can Janice be posh enough for Encore?  Can Paul even get in the door at Encore?  And just how many rooms can you book in Vegas?  And can Janice survive Keno (NOT the caveman version)?

Back to Foxwoods....and Mohegan Sun 16.10.2025

Janice and Paul go back to Foxwoods, and Mohegan Sun.  The buffet of dispair is still a thing.  They stay in two rooms - Grand Pequot and Fox Tower, and get a silly "no play" letter.  Along the way, they talk about MGM properties, the philosophy of video poker, and some teases about plans for Vegas in December.  Contact us at gimpygambler@yahoo.com , or find us on Facebook!  

Road Tripping! 02.09.2025

Atlantic City - again! 01.08.2025

Janice and Paul go to Atlantic City - but not the trip they started talking about so long ago, but a NEW trip.  This time they went to Harrah's, along with the Golden Nugget (the Nug), and Borgota, as part of a charter flight - living the posh life!  Dining, gambling, and a little bit of sleeping.  And Janice gets way outside her comfort zone in a video poker tournament.   Email us at gimpygambler...
