A podcast about casino gambling (especially video poker), casino destinations, and the joys (and trials) of disability travel
Finally - an end to a Vegas trip report.
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 it).

AC Expressing!
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 Angelo's Fairmont Tavern and Ducktown Tavern among other places, and toss in a tourist run to Philadelphia.  As usual, we're not shilling for anybody, except Longwood Gardens, because flowers are awesome.  Also as usual, drop us a message [email protected], or visit www.gimpygambler.com

A solo trip to Foxwoods/Mohegan
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 course.  Contact us at [email protected], or check us out on Facebook or www.gimpygambler.com.  And, we're not selling anything - no T-shirts or other merch.  And, in case you don't listen to the episode - we're obviously not a shill for anybody, because we complain about everybody.

The Gimps do Vegas - Part 2
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):  [email protected].

The Gimps do Vegas - Part I.
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
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.
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
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 [email protected], or find us on Facebook!

Road Tripping!
Jance and Paul hit the road, making lightening stops at three casinos: Turning Stone (NY), Caesars Danville (VA), and Foxwoods (CT).   Is newer better?  Can our heroes survive Interstate 95?  Tune in, to find out!  www.gimpygambler.com, [email protected] and find us on Facebook (But not Twitter/X, because it sucks).

Atlantic City - again!
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 [email protected].  Or check out http://gimpygambler.com
