Trip to Europe

BlondeFish

I didn't play poker when I visited the cities you mentioned. See, I told the gambling counsellor that I'm not an addict. ;)

The Netherlands casinos are owned by the government, and there is a poker room in Amsterdam - https://www.hollandcasino.nl/en/establishments/amsterdam. There is a casino at the Amsterdam airport, but no poker.

Unlike North American casinos, some casinos in Europe charge a fee just to enter, parking, pop, and even a bottle of water! For example, WPT Dusk Till Dawn and WPT Aspers London charged for drinks, while WPT Valkenburg Holland tried to charge for all four. I think the Monaco casino had a cover charge with no poker, and I had to wear a suit and tie.

That would make me run away! But knowing DirtArse's generosity, he would offer Borat a bed to sleep in our BNB, just like the homeless alcoholic in Las Vegas. :o Maybe Macke should just look for DirtArses while in Europe. ;)

Indeed....there is not a blade of grass that is out of place in the CWGC cemeteries. I have relatives that were killed during WW 2 in both of the cemeteries that you mentioned. The museum at Overloon is worth a visit too.

The 2 trips aren't really comparable or for the same purpose. It is always a better option to experience the world than be sitting at a poker table...especially if the novelty of Vegas is gone for you. You can find decent cash games around Vancouver anyhow.

I forget which one it is (Grosbeek I think), but one of them does an evening candle light ceremony on the Dutch Remembrance Day (the Day before their Liberation celebrations) where Dutch school children place hurricane lanterns at each marker. the photos my cousins posted this year were incredibly moving. The Dutch do a FANTASTIC job of honouring those who gave their lives to liberate their country, particularly "their" Canadians.

Oh of course that's why I want to go... If I did any gambling it would probably be just for an afternoon in Monaco just to say I was there or whatever.

Any other big Euro fests around? Octoberfest is one that I'd love to go too.. but September/October is probably the latest in the year I would go... if I couldn't make it then I'd probably delay trip until the following year
