[BEANO52]

The FALL 2023 "Mix Game Festival" got me back in Vegas, such a great time ! Robbie puts a bit of work into these and It's always a blast seeing all the "regulars".
A bit smaller TR as I didn't get "alot" of pictures, but fun was had and gambling went down.

Horse racing, good time kill

Monday morning after a nice nights sleep. Breakfast at Suns Out Buns Out.

Got my name on the list but not started yet, A bit of slot action before pokerz.

Bubble Craps next up.

All warmed up and up a little less than $100 between slots & bubble craps. Off to the big boy tables. You can barely see my come out bet . .

Game started and up fast the first 3 hands. Robbie passed out some chocolates!

Mimosas? Don't mind if I do!

Eli sat with us and played my neighbors stack for a couple hands, ran it up LOL.

I think I've been playing about 9 hours so time for a walk and some dinner. They've put in a new Tiki Bar which I considered but ended up at the sports bar right by poker room.

Beer, Burger & Video Poker. Messed around with the betting levels and accidently spun at $15+ for about 8 spins before I realized . . .

Nice hit.

Wasting time while a seat opens up. Cat slot FTW, and cat pirate slots ? ? C'mon. Lets go

Got my seat so poker until bedtime! (after 2:00 a.m. and LOTS of bourbon.

I liked this Baduecy hand I made on 2nd draw. #1 both ways and a scoop !

And on that note, it was after 2:00 and I was pretty hammered. Bed time.

Tuesday morning and a day to roam around a little. A little donut and coffee for breakfast.

Off to Southpoint for the weekly O8 tournament, lets get some run good!

Building a little up !

And whittling a little down . . .

Table move with short stack, get it in good and lose. Off to cash 4/8 O8

Kinda fun promotion, when knights score they do a random seat in the entire room for $100. . . Ka Ching!

Basically break even but the 100 dollar promotion helps. Some greasy pizza and off to play with some peeps at Orleans O8

Orleans it is for awhile!

I'm having fun even though this group is the definitions of ""mis-regs"

I'm tired and only up my SP promotion bonus so goiong to put myself to sleep at slots.

$1.20 bet into nearly $120 bonus? Don't mind if I do

Nighty night . . .

Wednesday is day to go DOWNTOWN ! Only a couple of times have I gone to Vegas and skipped Fremont. Biggest mistake I can make, I love it down there !

A very Hearty breakfast then off to the casino floor.

Bubble craps with more coffee to get warmed up

Is it bad when they reserve your seat?? No, for real, playing in Rauls game before I head DOWNTOWN !

Decent score (double up) now to gamble, dinner DOWNTOWN!

Did I mention DOWNTOWN ?

Check in to Golden Nugget to see about a 4:1 ratio Iconaulsons #SadFace

Heading across the street to play my favorite 9 line 1 cent top dollar, let the Coronas flow . . .

Here's a funny story, Over at Four Queens, I always like to hit up the "Silver Strike" machines. I sit at the $40 machine and hit a 200 unit jackpot within about 10 spins. another 3 or 4 spins I hit a $40 strike but. . . it doesn't dispense . I flag down a cocktail waitress after searching for a slot attendant for at least 15 minutes. I finally see, across the floor, the waitress talking to a slot attendant but still no one comes over. At least 20 minutes pass buy and no one shows up. I eventually call the front desk, get transferred to the cage and finally someone comes to refill the machine. They hand me a $40 Strike out of the rack and i do a couple back up spins and head over to the craps table for a modest $20.

Head to Fremont and play a couple hours for another + $90

A few slots than a walk to Evel Pie for some pizza

WTF! Closed until tomorrow (remodel)!! #MuchDisapointment

A little more slots before I head to the barn

I'm done, off to bed . . . Until tomorrow !

Thursday, last full day. Always bittersweet but It's a fun one! Late start lunch calzone !

Off to the H.E.R.O.S. Tourney

Tony Dunst with the "Shuffle up and Deal".

These chips are one of my favorites. The Greens were added later as an afterthought when they started running tourneys besides T100s.

Busted out about 1/2 through the tourney. Quick slot session before I head to dinner. . .
