Scandis in Vegas - a solo WSOP TR (5-24/6-4) - Page 2 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

looking forward to it - I'll be in Vegas mid to late June so this will whet the appetite

great job getting fully comped rooms. you have explained how you do this previously...it isn't purely from big play is it?

Just to make it a bit clear, this time I’m paying around $400 for Bellagio and $300 for Park MGM but getting 100% of that back in comps.

Won the biggest coin flip so far, tested negative for Covid this morning. Trip officially starts in less than 24 hours and after a “short” 16 hour travel I will land in Vegas at 2 pm tomorrow.

Until then, here is a bankroll picture. $8k for cash games and tourneys + around $1000 in various comps.

Sadly neither. 7:20 flight from Malta to Amsterdam. 2 hour layover in Amsterdam then 12:20 or something like that Amsterdam to Vegas, land at 14:20 Vegas time. Premium economy will do this trip, maybe upgrade to business on the way home if I run good.

"maybe upgrade to business on the way home if I run good." - There should not be a doubt/question anymore.

Currently chilling at the airport lounge in Malta. Take-off towards Amsterdam in 1.5 hours. Way too early to be alive, but at least the trip has started!

He came to Sin City.. He saw a raise in online earnings.. He conquered Vegas!

Are all those arrows on your Air Plane tail pointing in one direction towards Vegas?

All roads lead to Rome… or Vegas in this case!
