I sometimes think of Las Vegas as the Jerusalem of chance. A holy city.

They are the new breed of slot machine-colorful, fancy, exciting, wonderful...and deadly.

The slot machines sit there like young courtesans, promising pleasures undreamed of, your deepest desires fulfilled, all lusts satiated.

The casinos believe in math (and I don't mean numerology).They believe in the power of percentages and short pays, not in the power of magic stones, amulets and omens.

Scobe's Tenth Law: In all endeavors, in all aspects of life, there are more horses asses than horses!

Scobe's Fifth Law: All dealers wish they were doing something other than dealing. All dealers have plans to get out of dealing. Ten years later they have different plans to get out of dealing.

Las Vegas is the most honest fake city in the world.

Blessed be the slot players for theirs is the hope of a better day dawning.

Get out of your mind and become crazy about your future in a creative way!

The most meaningful prayer is kindness.

Everything harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, o Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which is in due time for thee.

Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odors, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken.

The minorities have been confined to the city by a moat of bigotry.
