I'm Back!

After taking a year off of gambling I just booked a trip to Harrah's NOLA November 3-6th. A lot has happened since I've been gone from the gaming: Got married, have a baby on the way, downsized my business...Been a rollercoaster of a year but looking forward to getting back into the mix. I wont be gambling like I used to...much MUCH smaller bank roll which will take some getting used to but at least I get to hit the slots again! Dunno what I'm thinking after looking at my last two years "win-loss" statements...I probably should stick to the FREE slots online...lol! Well, I'm hoping NOLA is FINALLY kind to me and I'm looking forward to some new games. Anyone know if Harrah's has changed much down there in the last 12 months?

Hey PS, was wondering what happened. Welcome to JWE

hey buddy glad to seeya posting again man.

I finally got Diamond on a trip to kc never thought i would see the day.

sorry dont know much if NOLA has changed much or not

Dvandentop told me this is where all the "cool kids" hang. Just Kidding! But he did turn me on to the site. Glad to be back and hoping I have something worth while to contribute in November! Been a CRAZY year....glad to be coming back even if it is a SLOW comeback!

Waddupp Pawnshop! And Welcome to JWE! :yo:

Glad to see you back.
Nola is non smoking now. Not just the casino but ALL public buildings in New Orleans.
If you're not a smoker, that's great news!
If you are a smoker, like me, then it sucks!

Welcome back. You sound reenergized after your time away from gambling. Congratulations on getting married and the upcoming baby. Good luck with NOLA and adjusting to your smaller bankroll.

Welcome and congrats on the marriage and baby!

Welcome pawnshop. Used to enjoy reading about your escapades but fully understand that with new marriage and baby on the way things will be toned down a little. Still looking forward to your contributions. As far as smoking at Harrah's NOLA is concerned my understanding is that it is the whole casino. You have to go outside to smoke. They are currently working to add an area or areas where you can play and smoke but if their plan gets approved it is supposed to be at least partially outside or open aired. Not sure of exact details.

There are smoking areas outside the casino.

Hey Pawnshop!! Good to see you back :)

Welcome Pawnshop!! Good to hear from you and congrats on the marriage and baby.

Good luck in NOLA and hope you do a live trip report for us!

What an AWESOME "welcome back" from everyone! As for me being "toned down"...once the slots start spinning and the drinks start flowing, guarantee to be as colorful as ever! What a great group of people! I'll start another thread elsewhere with some updated questions about NOLA. Don't wanna start out taking an introduction thread into a "trip report" thread! Man I've missed all y'all! Except CPT...that guys a dick. Haha (see...I even read the "rules" before posting that) JUST KIDDING, Ken! Love your new site and thank you so much for letting me join in on all the fun!

Welcome back, congrats on the many life changes you have encountered in the past year. Good luck on your upcoming dive back into gambling, lots of new games out there. FYI, a bunch of us will be in Coushatta 11/10-12 in case you want to change your plans and have some jokers help you ease back into the slots. Wait, what am I thinking, there would be no easing with this group. HHH

Are you doing your 7 star trip from last year to NOLA?

Hey Pawn, glad to see you posting here! Congrats on all of your life changes this year. When is the bambino due?

Pawn I'm so glad you got your priorities in order & that you will be participating as a Joker. We missed you in the last year.

I fell 15k tier credits short of 7stars and haven't gambled since last October so this is just a "fun" trip. Would have chosen Vegas but had to go where the wife wanted to go!
