But is a timeline necessary? Must people prove they were banned? What's next, proof you got a speeding ticket?

Redietz the low budget movie called The Gentleman Bandit starring Ryan O'Neal was shot in Beverly Hills of all places WITHOUT permits. I played the role of the news reporter at the various bank robberies. Beverly Hills police saw me with the film crews outside various banks shooting make believe reports... and they waved thinking it was the news.

When it came to doing news reports inside the banks, I walked in with the Executive Producer, explained we were shooting a movie, and on the spot got the OK. Bank employees instantly became "extras" acting as if the place had just been robbed.

Guerilla productions are such a hoot.

LOL -- Mr. Mendelson says, "I remember the two separate reports...."

Mr. Mendelson, once again there is no attribution. Who provided those reports? Argentino? So what you should have said is:

"I remember the two separate reports -- provided by Rob -- of being banned first at Bellagio and later at Silverton."

Is that true and correct? Or did you read those reports elsewhere? Where, pray tell? Did you happen to stumble onto them walking the strip? In the UNLV library? Did Jerry Logan FedEx them to you? Or is it correct that you "remember the two separate reports...by Rob?"


You're trying, miserably, to plaster over the fact you have never actually read any "reports," other than what Argentino has written, or that you've never seen the "well-documented" material regarding the alleged bannings.
Red, as much as you detest these things about me, there is only one instance of my being banned that was proven, and that's because it was published in Gaming Today. Perhaps, because you have said how many times you went over to GT to check up on me, you could check with Eileen D. to review my past columns in the 2004/2005 timeline. The title has the word "Bellagio" in it.

And since I am the ONLY professional vp player or otherwise to have ever proven I was banned, it shouldn't be difficult to ascertain the fact that there have been--and currently are--other bannings. Or, you could believe what the AP crowd likes to do on forums and elsewhere: claim they or other "strong ap's they know" have been "backed off or restricted" just because they're, well, AP's!
I don't remember ever seeing anything written in Gaming Today that was negative toward a casino. Rags like that who depend on selling advertising to survive just don't do that. So DiRocco made an exception in your case? I don't think so.
