“A security guard at an unnamed Vegas Strip casino regales us with stories from his job. Should be mandatory reading for anyone that loves Vegas and all the associated craziness that happens there.”

Well, maybe not official, but I just put in all of the ones that were posted...I decided chronological order (and to list the dates, for historical context) makes some sense because some of the TRs influence others (shoe pix, greyhounds being two obvious examples). Some of the quotes are from the TRs themselves, others are from the nominating post. We can change this if someone else has a better idea. Again, I think it should be stickied at some point, if someone can alert the relevant authorities...

Super honored to make the list. Definitely the low man on the totem pole, but I'll take it. Gonna do another one this year.

~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, includes: cleavage, unhealthy levels of VP, proper use of a "Do Not Enter" sign and off strip activities.

You left out my suggestion. The one with the Dutch guys....Frattie or Fazzie something?

And you left out LAG's report which was pretty elite

This was too vague for me. If you post a link, I'll add it.

OK got it. I'm not sure why I can't edit my post after a few hours...maybe just add them in the thread and I can post the whole list again eventually.

Thanks for compiling the list drbeechwood.

I just read KurtSF's TR and it is was excellent! Can't wait to get to others I've missed. Great idea for a thread.

He merited it. Grammar, diction, punctuation and, most-of-all, word-smithing was outstanding.

Plan to be there for Happy Birthday, Dear Country. Will PM you with details when plans are finalized.

I'm just happy to be considered as a nominee...

A few Id like to thank my molly/coke dealer, apple iPhone, all my club hosts, mlife & total rewards, the spearmint rhino, southwest & Virgin America and my wonderful girlfriend for giving me permission to go so often.

Sub

I've written a few, but none worthy of this list for sure.

I'm returning to Vegas on 6/3 for 16 days, and will endeavor to do a better job of it.

I always liked BeeJays TRs

Have any women posted notable TRs?

Are there any women posters in LVL?

Good question. Maybe someone should post a TR request in the "That's What She Said" forum. Might be interesting.

(Updated with a few new entries. Still advocating for a sticky for this post/thread but not sure of the procedure...)

A modern epic—two LVL regulars move to Vegas for a few months during WSOP 2014. This has it all. Fine dining, strip clubs, concerts, clubs, and lots of poker (both cash and tourneys). Over 2000 posts and still going strong.

Don't be so modest. I think this definitely qualifies.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/10...nd-any-952031/

may as well throw this one in - not the original thread (and not finished) but here you go:

Voila

Don't know why Dynasty's "Three years in Las Vegas" hasn't been moved to LVL from NVG. Like Matt Moore's TR, it isn't a TR, but about life in Vegas as a poker pro.

Which one is matt moores? Have heard like a thousand times how awesome it is but never read it, have some time off work the next couple days and want to jump in.

I am very confident you can figure it out.
