As long as I perceive it as cheap I'm happy. Unlike this morning, -$200 on videopoker and -$100 on Buffalo Gold. Just didn't hit a thing.

This afternoon I moved from my Airbnb place to ParkMGM. Nice room. Tonight I'll be playing the $140 at Aria. Let's hope I don't suck as bad as yesterday.

I hope you are enjoying your trip; it seems like despite some losing sessions; you are having fun. That really all that matters.

I still suck at poker, although I do get a better feel for it now. Turns out some people suck even more and I'm just giving them to much credit.

Played 1-3 after busting out of the tournament and lost about $85. Went for the Buffalo Grand slot this time. After losing $100 with minbets I put in another $100 and decided to bet 3x minbet. I usually don't put in more than one $100 bill in a machine and also don't usually bet more than minimum. Having to go to the ATM this afternoon though put some more bills in the wallet which are burning, combined with the losses of this morning and wanting to win it back got the better of me. You all have been there.

Made a pretty quick bonus game that didn't give a lot, but quickly after that I got another one. The first bonus wheel spin gave the Major jackpot for $100, the second the mini jackpot X3 and the third gave 15 free games. During the spins I got multiple retriggers and ended up with a total of 40 free spins. Unfortunately I never got a single spin with 5 buffalo's, so the really big payouts didn't come, but I ended up with a win of $525. Awesome.

This means I'm only down $235 for the entire trip which is great for over two weeks. Not counting the $510 I'm down in tournaments in this, because those buttons were mostly paid for by price money from a Dutch gambling website and some friends who bought percentages.

Tonight I will play the last tournament at Venetian, a bounty tournament.

Also, some friends and owners of the Dutch site will be flying in tonight which I'm looking forward to, I am starting to feel a bit alone. Tomorrow we will spend the day together and do a group pull with $4600. 23 people all put $100 together and a Dutch casino was nice enough to double it.

sounds exciting; you guys chose a machine?

I think the other guys did, but I'm not sure. It's going to be at Bellagio.

Yesterday was expensive for me. No luck in the tournament and lost a buy-in in cash game. And for once I didn't win at Buffalo slot. One more day to hopefully turn it around.

Thanks for playing, Sir,

Today I met up with friends from the Netherlands. Kind of needed it as well, as it has been a long trip all by myself.

Started of with the grouppull which was great fun. You can check it out here https://www.facebook.com/onetimeNL/

Search for the video that has grouppull in Bellagio in the title. Lot of Dutch talking, but also excitement.

After that we went to some different casino's to gamble. Nice thing about being with a little group like that is that you put money together and play one machine, so it turns out much cheaper. Lost about $40 that way on slots and at the end lost $40 at casino Holdem, but won a $5 bet on number 8 on roulette.

Tomorrow I fly back home. If I wake up early I'll head to green valley ranch and play some videopoker with the last dollars I have on me.

Sounds like a fun trip; thanks for sharing and save travels!

We get way jaded in Las Vegas. Great to see a group having fun.

Fwiw, the edibles/marijuana in the dispensaries here is way better than anything I've seen in the coffee shops in Amsterdam.

Instead of hitting GVR again in the morning, you might want to take your last USD and buy something tonight to eat just before you get to McCarran,

It was a great trip, now in the train back home.

Did have enough money to play some more videopoker and have something to eat.

Don't think any of the group are into marihuana and I'm sure Dutch people that are know where to find the good stuff in the Netherlands.

I dont want to derail this thread, since its been a great TR. But, maybe since your trip is over, it would be ok to post here. When I saw this I thought of your thread, wanted to hear what a magician would say about it. Feel free to tag a mod to delete it if it derails the thread. I cant figure out how to imbed so it will play in the post, but here's the link.

Like I said, nuke it if it derails your thread. Great TR!

No problem at all to post this. The trip has been done and this way everybody sees some great magic.

I think it is a great act. It's structured very well with magic that makes sense. It's also executed very well and has some great magic in it. His world championship was well deserved.

Magicians often like other magic acts than lay people. A great act is liked by both though, so what did you think of it?
