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

Damn I’ll be hitting this up next time I’m in town. Oscars supposedly also makes a mean burger.

Last morning of competition, I just dropped off my rental car. My car died last night but I spent about two hours post dinner at the D, playing Keno and talking to an old bartender friend. Keno ended up being a +$40 session. I'm not sure when I went ro sleep but it was before midnight so I am well rested.

I made one last dispensary run before turning in the car, opting for 2 infused prerolls at 40%+ each. I took another cart as well, just because they are so cheap. I'm up to about 10 cartridges.

My cab driver is pretty scary in the most awesome way, weaving through I-15 traffic like a madman.

I'm going to change, wait for these edibles to kick in and hopefully put up a respectable enough score im singles to make this tournament a push. I have a Ton of gear to lug back to El Cortez after this is over so I will most likely stay downtown for the day.

At first glance, I thought the initial picture above was foatie's trophy case.

Maybe it is.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but as someone who lives in a legal state where the prices are muuuuuch higher for various reasons (combination of taxes v. under-supply for the demand), have you had any issues flying with unopened carts? I have to assume it isn't legal per feds/FAA?

In no way, shape or form is this considered legal advice...

I've never had a problem getting thru TSA with cartridges and pens/batteries recently. I would consider removing all packaging, so that nothing says marijuana, cannabis, weed, etc.

Same deal with edibles. Put 'em in an unmarked baggie, shouldn't have any issues.

On topic, I've got a serious hankering to roll some balls today.

The room does look nice. I also thought they looked familiar, but then realized it's because foatie posted the Pompsie video on the vlog thread.

Loving the TR so far!

Not to drag things down, but how are things overall given the new covid rules - I guess mask mandates indoors now? Any negative impact on bowling/poker?

I love Triple George grill. Basil Chicken Pesto Sandwich with truffle fries and corn chowqqder soup. Basil Hayden's left, Redbreast 21 year right. Big hurt is coming, I'm sure we'll get a little messy.

I don't remember the El Cortez even having a tower. S'matter of fact, I would have bet money it didn't. I was questioning where those pics were taken. Now I'm just questioning my memory...

Always appreciate the food porn, Foatie.

I would have gone for the 9 ounce Rib Cap. The King of Steaks..

Anticlimactic last night, but I was all Vegased out. I'm glad that I took it easy on the drinks last night. I ended up splashing around at BJ (-200) and Roulette (-200) before going to Seigels for the king cut prime ribeye. It was pretty solid and put me in a meat coma.

I'm back home now, this was a trip to remember for sure and I'll be back in October for the WSOP.

It just occurred to me that this is my first Vegas trip where I spent no time on the strip. Unless you count The Strat, that was an odd occurence.

One of the greatest feelings is smoking THC distillate in the airport smokers lounge until the brink of unconsciousness. It made rest on the flight amazing and I have a few months worth of THC for home.

Big win!
