Could boss have been rating you? Optimistic for more great comps coming Muck's way.

Nah, no need for him to stay the entire shoe, plus they rate you when you buy in and then while you play but not constantly.

It was NOT at Bellagio. The rule at this casino was that if you're all-in, your hand cannot be killed because you weren't at your seat. I think it was PHo, but I can't remember for sure.

Were you counting or just getting lucky? I cannot ever imagine winning that much at blackjack. What was your starting bet? I doubt I've ever won more than 40 bucks at blackjack.

They're trying to send a message that he would prefer Muck play somewhere else if he's going to win like that. But he doesn't want to back him off just yet, just win on someone else's shift.

This is how we Vegas!

Yellow chip blackjack hits, making royals…. I’m sooo jealous of how much fun you’re having!!!

It’s definitely amazing but it’s also my first ever royal playing live in 20 years. Was nice to see, sadly the guy folded set of jacks on the river.

I’ve run into a royal more often than making one lol

I have had about seven royals live in no limit, but I haven't had one in years!

Un-****ing-real how good some people run.

I'm sort of happy for you, but sort of not

I’m completely aware of how good I run, but it’s also super swingy. I was down to my last $300 (before heading to the ATM for another bullet) Friday morning, just kept losing at whatever I touched. Then basically went from $300 -> $12 000 since Friday.

So, that's good, right?

Keep it going, Muck. Thank you very much for the fun TR (as always!)

Absolutely, it’s amazing! Just saying that not all of it is good run. Was absolutely destroyed end of last week.

Keep bringing the pain.
I think I heard the war cry from Dallas.

Epic report thus far Muck as always - have been always following up on your reports and it makes me so excited for my trip in June! You have inspired me to "consider" a trip report of my own! Lol

To say I had an insane day is an understatement. Like holy ****.

So after winning at Paris earlier this morning I ended up playing a 6 hour session at Aria. Broke even first couple of hours, then went to lunch at Javiers. Came back and lose top two pair to set for 600. Reload, 2 hands later lose KK to AA for 500 effective.

What to do, not motivated to continue. Take $1000 to Aria blackjack table and lose it without winning a hand pretty much.

Ok not good. Go back to Park MGM and bring down $1000. Lose $500 at blackjack in 3 minutes. Exchange another $500, this is my last bullet for the day. Play for a total of 4 hours, going up and down like crazy. Finally catch a good end of the shoe and cash out $3650 which puts me + $650 after Aria poker and Aria blackjack.



I am absolutely exhausted, time to buy some food and chill in the room. Tomorrow early morning I am going to Mount Charleston and Spring Mountain for a wildlife tour.

Great comeback! How have you gone with your MGM status quest?

I need 22 hours to reach Gold at Aria in basically 3 days. That’s like 7 hours a day, unless something unexpected happens I should have no problem reaching it.

Here for the wildflower pics!

Not entirely sure about wildflowers. We are however going to a place with two different species of owls so what will be fun!

My reading comprehension is clearly flawed. Wishful thinking I suppose.

You might get some desert paintbrushes.

Wrong game. I'm guessing you didn't win 4 grand?

I've only had 1 royal at the tables, lifetime. I didn't even win any money because it was in a satellite, where I won a small handful of chips. Didn't cash in the satty either.

I just want to say thanks for writing this down so we can enjoy your swings.

Love the pics (both on chips and your more professional ones from mother nature).

Keep it up and enjoy the days you have left over there.

Hope you enjoy it more than I do, I am sometimes absolutely exhausted by the swings hahaha. Nah jokes aside it’s all good, appreciate the comment and super happy everyone likes it.

Early morning at Aria. Played for 3 hours and booked a $70 profit. Not much but at least it’s not a loss. Now it’s time for Mount Charleston!
