BARGE has been around longer than the World Wide Web itself, and in that time
we’ve accumulated a bunch of stuff that we would now call blogs.
One blog-like tradition is Trip Reports. Sometimes these
are just about visits to casinos or blackjack conditions. Sometimes they’re
epic stories of degeneracy that have inspired others. We’ve started collecting
them here.
Our favorites are about BARGE.
My tenth EMBARGO. “Funny quote goes here.”
The story of my twenty-fifth BARGE. “It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock ’n roll.”
My ninth EMBARGO. “QB-2B-Doo.”
The story of my twenty-fourth BARGE. “Axoxicillin and seven.”
The story of my twenty-third BARGE. “Hanging in there.”
My seventh EMBARGO. “Minions at Binion’s”

The year was 2003. A couple of friends of mine and I had just arrived into Las Vegas from Los Angeles and we were looking to play some poker. One of the friends, having never been to Binion’s Horseshoe before and having watched countless repeats of Chris Moneymaker’s victory the year before, wanted to head over as soon as possible which meant we traveled past our hotel and got right off the freeway into the Binion’s parking lot and into what was then the mecca of poker.

The story of my twenty-second BARGE. “Where’s the dealer at?”
Translation – “Good lord you drink like a fish, … brought in a friend who stayed on 2-3, and we are sure you have more … please don’t take losing so seriously and go play elsewhere! Come back and gamble today!!!”
