Ok, first time at this (trip report, not vegas).

6 day trip with a couple friends, staying at the Park MGM

Things to expect:

Tournaments at Orleans ($600 11am HORSE, $200 O/8 S/8 event)
Degen bubble craps
Hockey game friday night vs Edmonton
Pictures of peppermill blueberry muffins
Football game sunday vs Philly
Failing to figure out how to use tapatalk or whatever it is to upload pics
Possibly crashing trooper thursday
Little NL playing -- I mainly stick to 10/20 - 20/40 Stud, Omaha, or O/8. told you i'm old. Probably some PLO though.
Shadowing the high roller with us this trip who plays like $500/$1k a hand baccarat and has a ridic food comp he's sharing with us

no pics of my new balance or crocs either just like the other guy

i'm not doing video though, pretty sure they don't like that in the strip club

Airport drinking at 11am since *******s ruined it and I can’t drink on the plane

Lucked into the tail end of the B boarding group for southwest. Checked in maybe 30 seconds before it opened and got B 58

Finally on the ground and on the way to the hotel. Cabbie is dropping racist slurs left and right, including some I’ve never even heard before.

After waiting at the aria for 45 minutes and killing time on video poker, punting it back on stupid nickel slots, being down to the last 2 dollars out of 200, we bonk one and get out +75. Off to bellagio to actually play some cards.

That two dollars was down from a normal $4 bet since we were out of money, and it happened in video poker too. Down to Pennie’s, hit two dealt full houses. What the ****. Second of the two attached, first one I only had the credits for like 8 hands

How does Leon do it?

Wait lists are tilting me. Met up with one of my friends who turo’ed a mustang so we are over at the orleans. Got in the 8/16 o8 game. Let’s see how this goes.

Rough first hour, bled chips, never killed a lot.

Luck changed recently, picked up AA23ds, don’t think I’ve ever picked up that perfect hand in a high/low game, scooped with a flush as 3 others called me all the way down. Chopped an unorthodox pot with 8TJQ on a 489 board, raised the flip, turn Q, bet and got raised, just called with a third player in. Low bricked out so chopped a good pot with the raiser whip also had JT with a flush draw.

We’re up about $25 and 4 beers

Ended the session -110. Missed a couple monster draws, 8 ways capped to the flop, open ended with a low, brick city. Still, good times and was kind of a warmup/refresher/confidence builder to take a crack at 15/30 later.

Early to call it a night but the jet lag and being old is kicking in. Going to look for some daily tournament action tomorrow.

+84 on bubble craps on the way to bed. One roll, but like 4 points before crapping out. Bad decisions paying off.

Tentative plan is Wynn daily tomorrow but we’ll see

Don't forget to call Trooper, he keeps his own list.

Don't know the number.

Also forgot Wynn daily isn’t running due to an event, so probably head to Caesar’s or MGM and play one of the $100 donkaments
