Alright, little run good when I boarded, 2nd row window!

Very short line at the rideshare

Checked in and had to drop $20 here, naturally

Off to the likely only tournament I'll play, to the Orleans

I phone the wife and let her know I'm about to enter and tell her I'm having a quick meal. She immediately says "Sabaro?". Lol, knows me to well . . .

I wouldn't say the Orleans poker room is my favorite, but they spread something besides NLH.

Let's go, $240 triple draw 3 game mix lowball

Anyone recognize my tablemate? @BootySnatcher

First break and I am up a tiny bit . . .

Off to cash, never could get any momentum unfortunately

Hit a steel wheel for a great pot and a $50 high hand bonus, made the majority of my tournament entry back.

Quick slot session.

Break even at craps

$10 Double deck pitch, don't mind if I do.

Bye that $200 . . .

Wasted another $60 trying to crack these piñatas

At least it's a bonus

Until tomorrow, off to bed.

Day 2 !

A good breakfast after a long sleep.

Starting the day gambling at the craps table, up a small amount.

Now off to Resorts World for another installment of the Mixed Game Festival!

Got this character to join in the festivities, we're having a BLAST!

Our host Robbie is getting the blood flowing by doing push-ups

Racking up before grabbing a late night dinner.

Some late night "Crapless" bubble craps, I'm lucky to run it up a little.

And back to the hotel to the big boy craps table

Short slot session before bed. Overall up somewhat for the day!

And to bed, until tomorrow!

The show must goon?

Day 3

Well, it's breakfast but using a term like "delicious" might be overboard. . . I need coffee

Getting the days games pocked & arranged, decent mix.

Some plaques need to be "modified" in order to get the game just how they want it. Not my game and everyone hated it. Pulled on first orbit.

Yep, Rufus is back and crushed it again.

Little mid game cocktail from the Tiki lounge next door (bring your wallet but top notch!)

Crapless bubble craps while I stretch my legs.

@BootySnatcher had this guy sign his giveaway winning, apparently he plays poker and wrote a book or something /s.

Accumulating . . .

Another leg stretch out the "front". Cool neon lights at night, love this city!

That'll about do it at Resorts tonight. Ran it up !

Uber back to the south end of the strip, not really ready for bed so sit in Mandalay Bays 1/2 game, they have 2 short tables running. Grab a beer & quick score so walk around.

Live music, not bad and people having fun (2 drink minimum if you sit)

I drempt of Jeannie but she failed to produce.

Back to the hotel for late night (early morning) craps session. Look how full this table is @ 2:30 am on a Tuesday morning in November, Fun !

Spin the wheel a little before bed.

One last slot before bed . . .

Another great day in the books, until tomorrow

Awesome thread. Good luck!

Day 4

Step 1: Coffee

Step 2: Game choice

Step 3: Mid game not up

Step 4: Late lunch or early dinner, I'm starving. Great burger!

Played with this guy and we had 2 bomb pots for massages, he & I won! To relaxing!

Take a walk and bubble craps session

Cashed out & headed back south for a late night snack, this pizza isn't bad at all.

Big boy craps, run it up over 2x buy in

Lost a little but still up enough to harvest this.

(Really? It went straight back to the cage lol)

Last bit of slots before bed.

(oh, SEMA is in town, beautiful cars everywhere!)

Until Tomorrow

Day 5 (part 1)

Start the morning off right #NotPumpkinSpice

Another (not so) fabulous breakfast. At least it was "value" priced for Vegas.

Getting warmed up on bubble craps [$20 in -
$40 out]

Lose my profit + trying to lay an egg.

Make up for it with a "first spin johnson" Decent hit.

As the game itself says, who doesn't like free games.

Tropicana update, nothing but dust.

Craps @ Resorts until the mix starts. Ran it up while giving lessons to my neighbor.

And we're off, last day for me.

my partner in crime is back and loving it! He crushed.

@BootySnatcher
Studying charts?

Robbie & Ruth giving the 20/40 a go. I belive they stacked a couple NL players.

and the poker at the Mix game festival is a wrap. Always a blast, hints of February possibility?

No trip to Vegas is complete without a trip to Fremont street !

IYKYK (Silver Strikes)

Sweet line hit pays for all my Strike gambles.

This hit not only line payed but dispensed 2 strikes, whada ya know?

Tapped the 2024 Halloween $40 Strike pretty fast. People were farming these on a Wednesday night past midnight.

Day 4 part 2 to come, until later

Day 5 (part 2)

4 Queens mini tub, not a single crap game running.

Binions on the other hand does, love the dealer outfits and location, in the summer the doors to Fremont street are left open air.

Head next door and give The Fremont a go! Notice the "roll counter". I've never earned a hat or jacket.

Time for a late night snack, I rarely miss a chance to visit the best pizza downtown (Evel Pie > Pizza Rock, I said what I said)

Slice of pie and a hazy IPA yezzz!

A little further south to try my luck at El Cortez. Started off with some craps.

Ran it up so let's play some UTH. Drinking an Adiós from my favorite cocktail waitress Karen, she remembers me every trip!

Win a little and have a Modelo, color up!

Time to relax and lose some back at slots.

Well, that worked out better than I thought, get out of downtown up a good amount (for a low-roll)

Back to the hotel for more craps (aka chip harvest)

Running hot before the trip outa Vegas

Before bed slots as a cool down.

The final swag & chip haul:

Great trip, next stop Columbus OH for David's meetup, Freeroll in Oh-Hi lo. Until tomorrow . . .
