It’s freezing in Las Vegas.  Isn’t it supposed to be hot in the desert, even in December? I just glanced outside and it’s pouring down rain. Glad I just washed my car. I came back from Washington last night, where of course it was sunny and clear. A bit cold, still beautiful.

But it’s all a trick.  You think “Oh, I want to move back…”, then comes the 200 straight days of cold, grey and wet.

This month also reminds me that I need to keep in touch with old friends.  So I spent a little more time on Facebook updating them and on my new addiction: Twitter @brettcalapp. 

If you didn’t get to read this month’s newletter, you missed a nice little featurette on our Four Color Deck option.  I now have a much greater appreciation for this functionality because I’ve been informed by my doctor that I need to get glasses.

The Club supports a four-color deck, which allows you to change the color of the suits to help in identifying them during game play. Spades are black, Diamonds are blue, Hearts are red, and Clubs are green.

To turn on the four color deck feature:

1.            Right click and choose “options” from anywhere on the poker table.

2.            Under table options, click the check box next to “Four Color Deck.” This will put a checkmark by this feature.

3.            Click “apply” and then “okay.”

4.            Go to a table and you will now see all four colors!

You can switch back at any time. Just follow the instructions above and uncheck the box next to “Four Color Deck.”  The best thing about this feature is that it’s only seen on your computer, so nobody else needs to know; our little secret.                       

 The “Holiday Hookup” started yesterday with lots of great extra prizes just in time for the holidays.  The tournaments are fast and furious using our “ultra turbo” format (two and a half minute blinds). So if you find yourself without a lot of free time, these are the ones to play. There are video games (think Modern Warfare 2 and Tony Hawk), gift cards to Walmart, iTunes and ToyRus, TAG Heuer sunglasses, movie tickets from Fandango and some ultra stylish clothing from KSINO.com.

THIS JUST IN…to celebrate New Years in style, the club is going to be giving away gift packs of Zino Platinum cigars. These cigars have received countless honors and are an incredibly bold, beautiful cigar with a full bodied aroma. zinoplatinum.com .  And if you don’t like cigars, remember these make a great gift for that favorite uncle or best friend.
