I could do some official-sounding retrospective on the year in gaming, but that’s been done better elsewhere, by people with more time. Instead, I thought I’d take a moment to flip through my archives and pick out a few of my favorite posts from 2008.
January
Things you need to tell the GCB
February
RJ says: Be more sadistic!
Could casinos become free? (this one is totally rendered moot by the plunging room rates on the Strip, but is still interesting, I think)
March
Too funny (Remember those halcyon days when our biggest problem was Columbia Sussex not cleaning their bathrooms enough?)
April
Parity Hedge System explained
June
Aria alternatives
Inconspicuous luxury? (this gives you some insight into my take on Encore, which I think is a perfect example of this phenomenon)
July
Fake Vegas explored
August
Las Vegas song
September
Arrogance
October
To boldly go where no analogy has gone before
Diff’rent strokes for casino folks (see me reference Hayek)
November
Gambling with word choice
December
Funniest photo ever?
That last one says it all, I think.
Have a safe New Year’s Eve, and best wishes for a happy 2009.
