You should try to get some obscure ones that may not be there in a few years, like Ellis Island, Hooters, etc.

Whoa, this is the one? You probably wanted to pay Security to take her friends down to the back room.

Highly recommend battlefield vegas

Got there at lunchtime, 20min wait and im on the range with 8 different guns and double ammo on the swat package and also an AK47 with 50 rounds for $50.

Spent $400 but had a great time, always enjoy the sniper rifle, my first 5 shots below...the 2 on the right were first, sight was off a tad, so adjusted my aim and nail 2 absolute gems dead centre on top of each other, and the last just wide but still decent i think.



Off to the nugget for some deepstack 1/2, we stack the table old guy when we call 7 with 56ss and get his whole stack on 3 4 8 2 A (he had AK) and he shoved 4x pot on the river out of turn ;-)




Game was good, but wanted my one last shot at getting even on the trip, so its the Aria $240 7pm daily. Down side is numbers are down as theres a seniors event today taking up loads of space, we got seated after 40mins and there was still 100 names on the alternates list. Currently 202 entries 140 remain

Win the blinds with these c0cksuckers

No possibility of doing them both?

Doing them both, i couldnt/wouldnt, her friend was an absolute mess and could barely pass for female, you know its guna end bad when shes so drunk she looks like the Joker from the Dark Knight!


Gun wise, it was part of the swat package, standard police issue, think it was a remmington 700.

Would love to get some real distance and an accurate sight and see what i can do, should really have asked to keep that target and start with a fresh one as i was proud of that given it was full distance of the range.

The shooting community is pretty friendly, especially towards people that seldom get a chance to shoot, like Brits, Canadians, Aussies, etc. I don't know of any NV contacts, but in CA or AZ if you put the word out I'm sure someone would take you out to shoot. I know of guys in AZ with some long range artillery that shoot over a thousand yards. CA too. It seems like you come out fairly often, maybe before the next trip you post on some message boards.

Sounds like a great idea. The ranges here are great, but soon adds up if you want to fire off loads of rounds vs the actual cost if you had your own gun and ammo

Forgot to update, we grind our short stack til the 3rd break, shortly after we get moved, table is active and stacked with chips. There had been some crazy calls, so i was looking for a spot to squeeze my stack in and pick up dead money. Table fish limps, button limps, sb limps, i shove A10cc and button tank calls with AJ and holds....AND WE ARE OUT!

So now we are at the airport, came to LV with 1 suitcase full, leaving with 3 fully loaded and 2 small bags of hand luggage (gota love those peanut butter m&ms)

A brief breakdown of costs over the 3.5 weeks we spent approx the following...

$5200 tournaments with $400 in bountys and $1900 for a 1st place in the smallest tournament i played.

Cash games

$7000 total loss at $5/$10, 3 of the 4 huge pots were with top set, one losing to quads, and another KK v AA. i deff didnt run good, and im sure had things went my way i would be checking into a new hotel today, but next trip i will focus on 2/5 as its alot more action.

1/2 was a small profit after a huge loss the other night at the nugget (uncapped buyin game makes it a bit unfair to judge)

2/5 was a winner, approx $3000 up from what i kept note off mostly thanks to a huge score at Bellagio and the Bike in LA

Casino games - i only played craps, with maybe a dozen hands of blackjack. Biggest win $300 to $4300 at Wynn. Biggest loss $1000 in 10 mins, also at the Wynn. I will be staying at the Hard Rock on my next stay after playing there the 2nd last night i found they offer better odds on bonus bets on dice (175/1 instead of 150/1) and i have a hosts email to arrange a comped stay if i wire X amount and give good action. Still approx $2000 down approx i imagine.

exspenses - $1200 at tuscany inc resort fee, $500 at ramada LA, approx $700 on ubers/lyft $300 on groceries, $3500 on clothes, trainers and other gifts etc. $700 on casino chips for the collection and gifts some to be sold to pay for my next flight :-) that means a heap on money went on dinners, taxis, pool partys etc.


So all in all, left a heap of dollars in las vegas. My next trip report will deff include a longer visit to LA, no dice degening there and much much better games.

My only regret is shot taking deep 5/10 games early and not playing enough volume on the rio dailys, im sure had i played more of them i could have got a result. Most fustrating event was the milly maker, got my stack up to 3x avg and got destroyed by the deck in 6 hands with all back to back pairs. The set vs runner runner flush rocked me, and im still shocked with my exit hand which is mentioned, and i missed value with KK on Q xxx board where i shove turn and got KQ to fold.

So now the 9.5 hour flight, hoping to sleep a bit, and be fresh for a bbq at a friends before heading up london for the £170 deepstack, if i ship it il be on the next flight back out here!

Little treat :-)


Post trip pondering


One final thing, thanks to everyone who commented, i honestly loved making this TR, and glad i had this chance to give back to the community with this report, i love reading others. If anyone has improvements for future TRs please say, im open to ideas.

Hope to do this again soon! Vegas, its been amazing, will be back soon! #ontothenextone

If you visit SoCal in the fall/winter reserve a day for shooting. You can probably get someone from the forums to take you out if you pay for ammo.

Out of the box and 20 seconds to connect via blutooth, also comes with a standard cable to hardwire to phone etc.

First impressions are AMAZING, noise cancelling really nice, light, and they have inbuilt battery with micro usb for recharging, which is perfect as thats what my android uses.

For me amazing purchuse, great value given they are 50% more in the UK.

Thanks. So you need to listen to something with them, music or podcast, etc? You can't just put them on and be enveloped in silence/white noise?

Will give them a proper test soon, they do block noise when switched on and not putting music through them
