Wednesday:

This is the day Tom came to the show. We spent some time looking at Gasser chairs for the pit. These are the top of the line chairs and have some really nice features. Yeah, that's right, chairs with features.

Next we went to the IGT booth. We spent a lot of time there, not because we was looking at stuff but because Tom knew a lot of the people there and we just visited a lot.

Next stop was the WMS booth. They had the most innovative slot machines on the floor. The most interesting was the Monopoly game that was a 5 reel, or a 3 reel, or a LCD touch screen, or both reel and touch screen at the same time. You have to see it to really understand how it works. It was truly amazing, but not available for another 9 to 12 months, bummer.

Bally had some really nice site down games. I call them sit down games because they are not slant tops but you sit at them like a slant top. They are out of the question because we cannot get any service from Bally here. 

Now it's party time again. The first party Wednesday night was the Paltronics party at TAO. This was by far the best party of the week. The restrooms were the strangest I have ever seen. In the men's they had small LCD monitors above every urinal showing anomie cartoons. The womens had full glass doors that you could see through from the outside, but as soon as the door was locked from the inside the glass would fog over.

The next party was Raving party at the Tuscany. I think all these guys to is party, talk, and smoke cigars. And of course Steve Browne was doing most of the talking.
