Didn't end up playing O8, stopped in at GVR omw down to strip and was a fun comfortable game with all the regs I know so felt like playing even if only ended up +$85 over 4.5 hrs.
It was mostly a week of 1-2 with me with the 2-5 action limited to short and uneventful sessions at mgm, rr, and Caesars.
Unfortunately I fell a good deal short of my 45 hour goal only getting in about 30, partly from getting violently but amazingly short lasting ill on Friday.
On to some pictchaz
Weather was great this week as things finally cooled down here in LV. I found myself enjoying wandering the strip between sessions enjoying the lower temps
Saw that there were 2 2-5 games up over at Caesars on a weekday and haven't played Caesars in s long time so walked over... unfortunately the games were terrible, full of quite somewhat angryish grinders in hoodies and headphones. I sat in for about 20min in case I missed something in my visual assessment but it was as unappealing as I suspected.
I decided to wander around Caesars for the hell of it and was baffled by the designers love of/use of breasts so thought it would be entertaining to go on a titty scavenger hunt of sorts which garnered the following:
I saw this guy passed out on one of the sewer grates/vents beside a half drank beer and this other fine individual k.o.'d on a slot machine chair
I think I recall some people discussing the Venetian room down sizing so I thought I'd try to explain it briefly in here and show a few pics. Ok so it's not as drastic a downsize as it originally appeared bc they've rejoined one of the previous blocked off zones. They've essentially removed the old front check in desk and lounge type area and 2-3 of the old rows of cash tables. Most of the action has been moved to the back in what was previously the mtt area. The cashier cage has remained the same and the old mtt desk in the back served as the main desk but they've just completed a new one along with the adjusted glass partition. They had originally blocked off the tables beside the cashier cage but have since rejoined the area though I have yet to see it be used. The removed section of the room will I would guess by appearance be used for more of that group video screen baccarat/blackjack/pai gow that they have been cramming in by the sports book.
What I assume will be the new front desk
The new wall/partition and part of the room now
This is the area by the cashier they rejoined with a weird little barrier added but I haven't seen this area be seated for anything yet
Here's what all the trouble was for
GVR sent me a $15 off $30 at Tides so was time for some sushi and fish tacs
As I mentioned earlier, caught the football action. Monday night at Redrock but 2-5 game went down and I ended up 1-2, table missed all the promos but was good relaxing watching football again
I'm used to such good sociable dealers at GVR as far as stations properties that a few at Redrock really rubbed me wrong, not the large part mind you but a few just seemed really dry+ irritable +snappy...this is reflected in the tips they received. I don't want my ass kissed but I also don't want to be able to tell you loathe your job. By the way the dealer in the previous pic was not one if the bad ones so don't want a misunderstanding there.
Gf was out watching MNF at RR with me (well actually she wandered around shopping most of the afternoon) so we hit up the buffet with my comps for dinner. I've eaten there before but has been a while. On a scale of 1-10 with Excalibur and the likes on the bottom and Bacchanal/Wicked Spoon making up the upper echelon, it clocked in at a solid 7. Food is all good, roast beef not dry or overcooked, a few things I particularly enjoyed like the braised purple cabbage and the gellatto. Also nothing was notably 'bad' which generally denotes a good buffet especially for the price range.
Saw a few cool cars this week, G-wagon with a matte pearl wrap, a few vettes, and this old school low rider which I believe is a Pontiac but I'm honesty not sure...the tail light configuration is ringing a major bell but the model just isn't clicking in my head.
That's about it, looking forward to hit that 45 hours this week and I guess I'll extend that 3 more since I botched last week, so far only 9 hrs from Mon+Tues so lot of grinding to get done.
