Epic night one bois!

BigHurt picked me up from the airport and we immediately hit the dispensary to get my maintenance stash for the weekend.

.5g Green Crack - Sativa cartridge
.5g Grape Ape - Indica cartridge
3.5g Old Pal - Blue Tits (Hybrid)

$74 total. I'm definitely picking up a few of these carts to go home with.

I've only consumed the grape ape and blue tits so far and both are fine choices. After checking into an overcrowded Stratosphere, we opted to head off strip for some food and gambling off strip at Palace station. After striking out on food at a few places that were closed, we had a few beers while I cycled through video Keno and poker. Within the first hour we hit our first hand pay. 6/6 Keno $1 max bet at .25 for $1600.

After celebrating with a double shot of Makers, we got a late dinner at the Brass Fork inside of Palace Station. Turkey dinner was a 9/10. Very rich and tasty with every bite.

It's almost 4am as I type this update. This jackpot may really set the stage for an epic trip.

I have to go to Resorts World at 9 am for my rental car and over to the Orleans to get a few games of practice in. I'll probably head over to South Point early to see how the 1pm squad are playing the lanes. That should give me a good starting point for lane play strategy.

See you all in a few.

Palace Station was the place I stayed on my first trip to Vega. They used to have a shuttle to the strip.

Notice if they still have a poker room?

I think your room looks pretty decent. I always though the Strat was complete craphole...guess not.

Pretty sure it closed from Covid and hasn't reopened.

I'm back from grabbing my rental car and practicing at the Orleans.

Resort world is huge and beautiful but has a terrible garage situation and lacks any identity.

I am not pleased with my ball selection as everything seemed too early and not angular enough. I'm going to change into my jersey for the day (Us Maryland folks love our state flag) and going to Henderson to get another ball drilled. I'm feeling satisfied in how I'm throwing the ball physically and most importantly, my spare shooting. I have 4 hours until check in for bowling. Another pic dump coming later.

So I noticed at the South Point sports book during big bowling events there is a line in their sports book specifically for bowling brackets. Is this line for both making bets and being paid? I always wondered what this often long line was for..

Some MUCH needed rest.

Physically I feel so much better today. I went to bed arpund midnight after spending a few hours at a friend's house smoking and catching up on things.

My feet are killing me so I have to buy new shoes today. I walked 28200 steps yesterday and my arches are feeling it.

I'm making pne last dispensary run for flower and I'll take some pics since the air quality is much better today. I bowl my team event at 1p today. This one is nuch nore important and will require a decent performance.

Proper update later!

foatie, do you have to do anything special to get the bowling balls on the plane?

I assume they're marked 'heavy', really wondering if it's just tag and check your bowling bag, or if they have to handled differently. Also, extra fare for the extra weight?

Bowlers probably fly SWA to take advantage of the two checked bags free.

Always fly SW. There's lightweight 3 ball rollers that weigh 3.5 lbs so 3 15lb balls gets you in under the limit.

Yesterday i averaged about 158 for 3. Today is going a little better 190-168-246. Awaiting payouts. I'll probably smoke and grab a seat in the poker room when this is over

Sucks when your first set knocks you out of cashing in all events assuming they pay that too

So far im down about -310 bowling but this has been the miracle of all miracle trips. I was chasing an 8 $
Spot that pays 12.5k when I hit 7/8 on the 5th spin. I high tailed it out of the strat and went to Oscar's for a celebration steak.

I went for the Prime Filet, Medium-Rare with the sauteed mushrooms, and Meatballs. This experience is almost sexual.
