There is no lottery in Nevada. We are at least upfront enough to give everyone a fair shake.

Take the access $34 and Win 5 hands of blackjack in a row.

34x2=68
68x2=136
136x2=272
272x2=544
544x2=1,088

Bankroll doubled. Easy game.

Ummm...why don't you just take a shuttle to the hotel? It's cheaper. Hell, maybe a 2+2'er will pick u up and take you to the hotel. I would if I lived in Vegas (if you ever fly here, i'll drive you 80 minutes to the casino just for the lulz).

theres a lot of ppl that have that sign. Most of them are dudes. Inasmuch as something can "go viral" among the overpass dwelling community, that and "why lie? need beer." have done so.

thats not impressive. Most ppl who know me knew that before i posted at all.

anyway, I articulated that poorly, i think. Vegas certainly isnt among the most expensive cities in the world, but its one of the cities that kicks your ass the most miserably if you don't have a lot of money.

I still stand by my initial assertion, that living in vegas on $1400 and 56 sack-kicks a week is just about a bottom of the barrel existence

I think these "I'm hopelessly underrolled, but I'm going to Vegas to take a shot" people should either stay home and burn their money for warmth or just throw their money in the air as soon as they set foot in Las Vegas.

Just want to be one if the few calling BS before OP magically can't meet up with people, etc and it turns out to be a level. So many gullible people.

This thread is probably a level but if not...

Op,

You could have stayed in So Cal in your attempt to become a poker pro. The trip is more of a vacation than anything else. You could have chosen the Excalibur for less money or a motel off the strip and walked to the strip.

There is a thread on 2+2 where people offer money for challenges or the person will perform a challenge for a certain amount of money. Offer to go streaking on the strip, easy money.

Maybe but its not like anyone is paying millions on this scam. If its a level, biggest loser is one who wasted time for it.

Rest of us got entertained for a few minutes, worst case scenario.
