This will be my 42nd trip to LV. Just finished a trip out to LV 3 weeks back for 12 days and playing in the WSOP $565 event 5. Flying in again from Chicago fresh off a Blackhawks stanly cup win. The last TR I posted a large large loss at the 4-8 limit games at Bellagio and Venetian. After my going out in Sept 2014 and having 6 of 10 nights comped via MyVegas and the bill still over $800 at Luxor, I was determined to minimize the lodging expenses. Wife and I checked out the Tahiti Village. We did not do a timeshare tour or anything like that. Wa were down at the mall picking up some new wallets (Coach) and stopped in. The place was impressive and clean with large rooms. From here, I hit up some local realtors for prices as I was not going to get hustled on the price. After a week, picked one up online. Went with the Nick Papageorgio unit aka the Royal Tahitian. This is my first experience with a timeshare so I will keep everyone posted. If anyone can suggest any places to go in the area ie walking distance let me know. We liked the lazy river and that the pool is open 24 hours a day, not to mention free shuttle to the strip that runs every 30 min from 9a to 12a I think.

Plan is to mix it up a bit. Huge weight loss prop bet ending 11/1 with option to weigh in anytime after 10/1. 16 more lbs to go.

Plans/goals for the trip
Workout 1.5 hrs a day starting in the morning
Meet up again with the Trooper. Gave him some Garretts Chicago mix cheese and Carmel corn that he enjoyed last time
Jump in a 10-20 limit game at Bellagio and run it up for at least 1 session
Grind and I do mean grind out 4-8 Bellagio and Venetian. Due to the series, may be forced to go to Orleans again with the b and v only spreading 1 game of 4-8
Eat healthy
Meet up with some 2+2ers
Grab some dinner with Goboboy at Musachi if he is not making a deep run at the series
Drink lots of water
Pour out a lil liquor again on Koval to celebrate 2pac and his 44th birthday
Get 75-100 quality hours in at the table w/o local infested tables
Work on spotting tells and tendencies
Play in $100 Orleans horse tourney
Play in some low limit HORSE games
There will be no pit games or video poker, strictly live poker

I will do my best to start strong and finish strong on this report with lots of pics daily (photobucket/internet permitting)

T minus 3 days till the grind resumes. Looking more and more like Orleans will get majority of action due to the number of 4/8 games spread.

Going with the eat good run good model this time around. Lived off pizza at Venetian and pad thai at noodle bar at bellagio. Ever since Sublime posted the fleas and other insects in his food on twitter last week, I am skeptical. I can say of running horrendous, I will open up the meal plan.

What is this talk of insects in food?

WTF

How can there be no pics? He should have taken some.

I know right? I can't discredit someone with $10.4MM more in tourney earnings than me. I have been going to the noodle place at bellagio for years. Need to expand options to use the food comps within the confines of bellagio. Suggestions?

May your wait lists be short and your chip stacks be tall.

Haven't seen you in years. I think I'll run into you this time. GL at the tables and with the diet.

Sports clips next to Lovers Lane proves that you can't choose your neighbors. At least it wasn't next to Dildopolious

That's the truth. Are you in lv this week?

Putting some new grey pump kicks in play this week and swapped out the movado sapphire for the movado bold money green. Hard to leave the little guy behind but as DMX would say " a man's got to do what a man's got to do"




No line at the airport



Offered to pick up some items for the trooooooper but never heard back. Will have to wait for the next trip. Was able to scope out some tail on the way to the gate. Will work on better less conspicuous shots. Wife asked what was doing and told her a blog post.





Waiting for the birds to clear and aboard. Flight arrives at 1230. I an curious to find out what a taxi will run from airport to the "Village."



So far so good. Will do my best to keep post updated.

Lol, probably not this time. I will be back for summer league and might hit up the 777 tourney at the WSOP just for the hell of it. I'll definitely be doing the 4-8 at the B during your trip, so looking forward to it.

Off to Orleans to clear a quads pod.

The village. We own the Royal Tahitian unit but decided since it's just the wife and i, we would just use 1/2 the unit this trip and the other 1/2 the next.
The pictures Belo are of the Bora Bora unit with is 1/2 of the Tahitian.
