I didnt plan on going crazy this time so wasn't gonna do a TR but I got to drinkin the first night and those plans went to shiit. Gonna try and update daily so I can remember and friends from home know I'm not dead.

3 days PH, 3 days Wynn, 4 days PH again. Watched Star Wars Rogue One on the plane ride. Hearing everyone say how great it was, other than a brief Darth Vader scene, I was disappointed. Watched Kong Skull Island, it was good, John C Reilly is the man.

The room at PH was comped, didnt go to the diamond registration, the guy at check in asked why I went to the normal line. I said cause I think you might appreciate 20 dollars more than they would. He looked at me funny, I said I wasnt trying to allude to anything sexual, I just tip good for a decent room upgrade. He got me a resort room with a good view, which couldnt have been easy on a Friday. The 20 dollar trick usually works at PH

Tried G Ramsay burger for the first time, it was ok but In N Out is just as good to me



I didnt eat all of it cause I wanted to get drunk, well that was a mistake. I got so drunk I cant remember much today and hurting bad. Eating advil like MnMs.



The plan was to not play in the pits til next weekend, so much for that crap. Split aces always screw me, thought they had again but got lucky.


Called last hand after this one. At this point I wish I woulda went to bed. My liver, hurting head and finances would have appreciated it.


Met up with some local friends at Heart bar, got drunk of course. I get to drinkin and play drunk millionaire, buying everybody's drinks then drunkenly play video poker for 50 a hand after I pay the bill to have the bartender tell me I played high enough, I coulda got the tab comped. lovely

Everything got hazy after that. Wandered over to Aria and probably bothered the crap out of everyone on the way. A hooker that had sprayed perfume on her self after "workin" caught pure T hell from me. I cant stand when people use fragrances without showering. whore

played some b jack of course, very drunk, doubled down a 10 vs A like a stupid ***, got lucky



Went back to PH, Other than laughing a lot, I dont remember much, I hope I dont owe any apologies to anyone. Went to the Earl of Sandwiches, Ill take that place over the fancy burger joint any day. hung out with some employees a bit, headed towards room but just couldnt pass the dzam b jack table. lost 1k and I just couldnt take it, chased, lost another 2k. I think it came down to a hand with splits/DDowns with a 4k swing or so that I lost. I do remember the dealer scooping up those colorful chips. Felt like a 5 year old getting Skittles taken away from me.
Felt absolutely horrible this morning (still do) but counted up and I think I broke even overall. Not sure what today holds, may just try and sleep, abuse some klonopin.

These TRs are fun to read, but I probably wouldn't enjoy being around to experience your brand of degeneracy live and in color. Who puts a burger on the table? lol!

So glad you're back for more, especially amid the big fight atmosphere. This could be epic, even by your standards. Best of luck.

A friend had an old saying- nobody wants to hear anybody ***** but we all wanna do it.
I guess thats why I havent updated much, nothing really crazy happened that I can post in public. Up until today, I have lost every session of b jack I have played since the first night it seems like. I overdid it on the drinking the first night, bad. I didnt drink my first drink til around 11pm Saturday. Had a new table open at a poker room I wont name, but when a new table opens at this one on a Saturday you know its gonna be good. Dear lord everyone was drunk and rowdy. One dude was just funny as crap and kept going at it with this asian fella and his girlfriend. They were ruthless and hilarious. The guy kept telling the asian couple to go roll some sushi and crap like that. I thought they knew each other but after they about brawled I guess not. I decided I better try and get to their level and consume some poison.

Up your butt Jobu

This table was a slopfest with all ins preflop with 3,5 off and crap by a drunk guy who ended up peeing himself. The funny guy discovered it when he fell back and leaned into his chair after he had left. The table was waiting for someone to sit in the pee soaked chair. I actually did the decent thing, put a plastic bag over it. I left a minute, came back. They had removed the bag to watch someone sit in it. It ended up being a guy that recognized me from these blogs, I did tell him about it. He was cool. Eventually the asian guy threw water bottles and all kinds of crap at the other dude, I filmed it and its hilarious. Looks like something off the Benny Hill show. They came very close but no punches were landed. Asian dude threw a cigarette at him and I yelled assault with a deadly weapon... tobacco causes cancer. The video is pretty funny but I promised some folks I wouldnt post it online. I love people watching and thats why I love that poker room.

This is by far my fav gogo dancer. She is just as sweet as she is stunningly beautiful.... which is not an easy task. When I get to drinkin, I go over and hand her money all the time cause I feel guilty for staring. I hthink it was that night I "made it rain" with 2dollar bills, it was fun. If you see her, give her a tip. everybody takes pics of her all the time, she politely poses and noone hardly ever tips her, look out for her, shes a sweetheart. Sorry, had to cover her face.
I got very drunk that night, either cant remember or cant post all what happened that night.
I kinda just started doing this so i could help myself remember the trips and for friends at home to read so i dont have to go back home and tell the same stories over, but I have been surprised how many people I have seen out that knew me from these blogs. One guy called my name out walking around in the Wynn, I figured he was just someone I met when I was drunk and didnt recognize, that happens to me a lot. My memory is shiit when Im drinking. The dude was real nice, told me he read this stuff and asked for a pic. That was awesome haha

I moved into Encore on Monday. Very nice hotel, nice rooms and I love the poker room employees there, but I came back to the middle of the strip every night. I often sit and talk to an old friend that deals high limit at a high end hotel. She said they all want Mayweather to lose and that last time she dealt to him he came in with a backpack full of cash, bought in a huge amount, made her count it all out then only played 1-2 k a hand. She said he would get really upset when he lost too. I hope he loses but I don't see it happening.

These odds are ridiculous. opened at 11-1 I think

While some funny and interesting stuff has happened, Its probly not crazy as usual cause I didnt drink a couple nights. Got friends coming tomorrow, and moving back to PH. a big crowd of rowdy friends coming Friday. This weekend will probly get crazy.

Not sure where I am watching the fight. Most of my friends have tickets, they play big, got em comped in the 5th row or something. I dont wanna go if I cant sit with them, so hoping to get hooked up with an invite to one of those big viewing banquets like we went to the super bowl. Many say its better than going to the fight

I know yall like to see shoes on here for some reason, not a shoe guy but I will post this weekends selection of t shirts. kudos if you know what the one on the left means.. hint it helped fund this trip

Yeah, that was pretty stupid. Those tables gotta have some potent germs on em that could probly easily penetrate a napkin. Screw it though, I'm here to gamble. After I took that pic I did pull it away and sat out while eating. I cant stand it when people have some nasty food all over the table

Odds for the fight shifted even further. Booked Mayweather for -370 today after waiting patiently for the odds to bottom out.

Did you play at PH on Saturday night? I think you walked past me a couple of times.

Online at bwin. Didn't even look for a better price since I can use them with my standard VPN setting on my iPad.

Already had booked McGregor at +550 right before they officially announced the fight.

Just remember, we're all reading because we want to live through the trip report so regardless of what you did it is 100x better than what most of us are doing.
Thanks for giving us something to read. Enjoying it thus far.

No, I was in Vegas recently, but not for your trip. I was just saying that in general; no need to apologize, you are having a good time.

I'm not sure what day I'm on, just going through pics on my phone trying to remember. Got a lot to update so gonna be short on the narrative. Looked outside the room, and there was this at Trump hotel


I walked down there, cause screw it. They said it was a black lives matter protest, but I got there after it was over.

The gambling really went downhill on this night, was already bad enough. I was planning to rest the liver and not drink, go to bed early. One little twist of the arm and I'm hammered. Lost so many in a row, pushed 3k on a hand


It lost, rebuy
I have played with Wynn since it opened but for some reason he wanted my license and ss# even though all I did was lose. Not sure whats up with that


If I wasn't too lazy to find the meme for the guy on South Park saying andddd its gone. I would post it here.


Wanted to hit that 10 bad. Dealer getting b jack is a kick in the balls
Speaking of kick in the balls... and I know I'm gonna get some empathy here. They wouldnt take my local buddy's red card that he always parks for free with. I had just lost 10k and they wont let us out. I refuse to pay out of principle, but it took so long I thought why waste my night. Gave the Wynn another 12 dollars. What a dam joke


I thiink I shook it off mentally pretty well, played poker at PH, ran 200 to 800, but got drunk and played b jack before I left, doubling an 8 like a stupid drunk ***




of course it lost. Dropped about 11k for the night, running very bad this trip in several aspects, but I have learned you cant get the time back, so I have not let it get me down.

My mother is disabled, rarely can leave the house. Scotty Mccreery is the pride of my small hometown, and she really wanted me to go to his concert for her. Some friends from home came into town so we went. It was at Topgolf, that place is awesome and the concert was great.











When Scotty was in American idol I bet on him online at 30-1. placed 200 on it for a 6k win. We used to eat at the same local BWW a lot, I bought his dinner one night, told him all about me winning 6k on him and it was the least I could do. His girlfriend was real nice, made a point to find me outside later and politely thanked me. He doesnt drink, bill was only around 15 bucks but they were as thankful as ever about it. I am a huge fan of his for being the man, music doesn't matter, but he put on one helluva show.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn12bmOGLW8

Picked up his book for my mom, got my friend to help promote it, I had obviously been drinking at this point. It sucks to cover her face cause she is absolutely stunning



The title of the book is Go Big or Go Home..... this trip report should be titled Go Big and Go Broke


I had finally went on a nice run, called last hand and put 100 out for the dealer. I must have been too disgusted to take the final pic but I got 11 on one hand and doubled it for a total stake of 15k. A dealer bust would mean 30k in my pocket... my pocket is empty this morning


Screw it though. Got a lot of friends coming in today and I'm gonna try emphasize more on having fun and less on degenning..... If anyone were taking bets on that I would put the farm on the under once I get to drinkin.

Thanks for all the nice compliments and comments from everyone

Pretty sure you own the licensing rights to a few of Scott's songs to be able to swing losses like this and say tomorrow is another day

Awesome thread as always.

I initially got into bitcoin at 380, bought ether at 14, 11 and 9. I havent cashed any of it out cause I'm not sure how the taxes are gonna work, but it lets me be loose with cash on hand. I may just wait til I retire, show no income, then live off it so I pay less taxes on it. There are more and more ways to spend it too.... come to think of it does anyone know if the bitcoin atm downtown dispenses cash ?

I am sure you know but just in case you don't you can just transfer some coin to another 2plus member and get spot or look on CL. There has to be tons of listings in Vegas CL to buy coin. I'm not in Vegas else I would help you out.

I had a bunch of Bitcoin I got at about 100, no longer have that. I also won a bunch on that bitcoin poker site in 2013, no longer have that either.

I also lost 2 wallets with a few coins each on 2 separate computers I had. One of which was getting regular deposits from a miner I employed.

I chalk those losses up just like I would any other investment loss. #*@@ does happen and if I dwelled on it well I would just have to jump.

I've had some massive headaches the last couple days and literally did nothing but read thru your threads and a couple others. Thank you for the entertainment

I am sure you get a lot of offers for conversation but if you ever want to shoot the breeze about investing send me a message.
