Nice! So it would depend on the competition for me. At some casinos these days, getting there really early (that 3 a.m. window) after all the slot-playing fireworks would be too late to find much, as it would have been picked over by the time you got there.

That used to be my favorite time to get to a casino, but I’ve found it’s not as fruitful doing that as it used to be. Also, as I’ve experienced firsthand, you’re going to stick out more to security when hustling through the casino and clicking away at that hour because there won’t be much else going on for them to monitor.

If you plan on making this a consistent weekly endeavor, which it sounds like, I’d get there at like 7 p.m. or so and stick around until that early-morning time frame. See how it is all hours and adjust from there. If there’s gold to be found at 3 a.m., maybe that would be the time to aim for to really maximize your time.
