I wasn't gonna do a TR for this one but I had a great time, friends at home wanna hear about it, and these TRs help me remember the good times.... so here we go. I can tell you that this TR will not be as entertaining as the others even though I may have had as good a time as any. I ran into quite a few people this trip that recognize me from here. It's always a pleasure meeting anyone that enjoy these but I realize I am gonna have to be more careful and vague about some things so I'm gonna have to leave out a lot of details. Not that there has been a problem at all, but...

I wish I had updated this daily because I can't remember it well after I stay for 2 weeks but pics help. I arrived early Wed. morning Jan. 31, met a friend that got off work at 10am me and him got completely hammered.I rarely drink at home, had purposely not drank for over a month for the oncoming punishing of my liver. A couple of drinks and I was smashed. The goal was to calm down the black jack this trip but yet I place 800 on my first hand after I got to drinkin.

Once again, disclaimer: drinking is bad, most of the worst nights of my life can be attributed to alcohol








Of course its a double down hand, (for me anyways) I always get my doubles face down, so when the dealer hits for 19 vs my soft 18 I figured I was done. She flipped over the 3 and I was pumped









My friends from home arrived that evening, a married couple I'm really tight with who usually come with me for the super bowl every year. We stayed at PH 3 days, Aria for 3, then I went back to PH for the remainder. My friend doesn't gamble so I made her play a $100 hand that I sponsored selfishly for my own entertainment to watch her get nervous. Took two tries doubling stake but It won whoop whoop










Judging from my phone I must have gotten extremely lucky for a while at poker. I don't remember how this happened.











Skip to Feb. 2nd I guess cause I was wearing this Ned Ryerson t shirt (Groundhog Day)









Not sure how this happened, but I do know it didn't take long before it was gone like last week's groceries









Quick scroll through pics and I found out where it went. I'm almost sure the dealer had 20 this hand. Many would think I have a gambling problem. I jokingly call it a gambling "hobby" However when I get to drinkin, my "hobby" can be a problem. I wish b jack had a breathalizer













My friends rented a car, had a productive day. Went to Red Rock and other cool places.... I just wasted the day away I'm sure.









For some reason I took the car to valet for em. I didn't get or lost the ticket. That ended up being a mess "Dude wheres my car" was referenced a few times.

A long time friend got out to play poker with me. I wish I had done more of that and less B Jack spoiler....I lost big this trip















Don Cheadle was at the bar















Not really him but a lot of people think it is. I think he is a lot uglier than Don haha



Some people make fun of me the way I foolishly spend money, then unless I'm at dinner or something I absolutely hate paying for alcohol. I will play a big hand of black jack to get a $20 drink comp, sometimes losing big, then tip $25 for the drink. (not trying to sound righteous, kinda admitting I'm stupid) It baffles the regular bartender often. I just hate doing it.

We went to high limit at Aria and a friend starts drinking away. They charge big to keep people from hanging there too long without gambling















I think it was some time Saturday before the super bowl Julio Jones was in the main pit area of the Aria. My NFL loyalties change according to personnel and mainly who I bet my futures bets on that year. Been a Falcons fan since Peyton retired. My friend instantly walks up pretty loudly says "hey Julio, he's a big fan, can he get a pic" he said not in the casino, but stuck out his hand to shake and said hey. As I shook his hand I just thought man if that hand coulda pulled that ball down against Philly I could have a TON on the S Bowl via futures bets. I told him next year I'm gonna be in Atlanta watching this, lets do it. He said you gonna be watching me then. I said dam right. Woulda loved for him to autograph a futures betting slip but I knew he couldn't.













It's S Bowl Sunday now. I had been betting on the NFC all year online to whore bonuses. So I already had a bunch on the Eagles, didn't bet much out there.

A whale at The Wynn hooked us up again to the big party. (I have a TR from last year somewhere) Has to be the best party in town or anywhere else.























Was surprised to see Steve Wynn there with all the stuff going on. Not sure what happened, but I hate it did. Say what you want but the man can build a nice hotel. Ezekial Elliot was there. He didn't seem very interested in the game at all.






The party was great, we had some other friends there not in pics. The game was obviously a classic and our team came out on top. The food was phenomenal, open bar, a lot of give aways, all free. (good to know whales sometimes) This was so much better than last year after the 28-3 debacle where I would have won very big on the Falcons. That was gut wrenching.

Being in there with the 1% or maybe even the 1/2% (of the gambling world anyways) is a trip. It feels like being Leo Dicaprio in Titanic in 1st class. The people watching is interesting in there too. Old men with hot 20 year olds and such. A guy we met in there last year had 100k bet on the Pats. My buddy mistakenly thought he had the Eagles. He gave him five, yelled congratulations man. He's foreign but was able to communicate that he lost 100k.

It was a great time and a memory I will always cherish













They had a fancy photo thing in there too







The caffeine is wearing off right now, but gonna try and finish this soon

BTW, I blacked out a lot. if anyone saw me, has a story, please share it (unless It's better for me for it to remained blacked out...which is probably the case) so screw it, go ahead and let me know

Love it! Sick bets on BJ :P

V good as usual !

Spectacular

See a few people taking a knee/seat during anthem.

You my friend, put the LEGEND into LEGENDARY trip posts.

After the game, looks like we got to drinkin




I remember seeing a Peyton jersey, took a seat




Went on a nice run. Not sure but this may have been the financial peak of the trip




I'm a big Tecmo super bowl fan. It is the only video I game play. Still play it often, for money of course. (I lose but its fun) Paying homage to one of my Tecmo favs... or QB Eagles







Looks like I went on another B jack run. I understand why they have to do pooled tips to the pit dealers. I can't give a solution but I still don't like the idea of a friendly dealer making the same as an assholish one, so I usually buy them sandwiches instead (tipping may be cheaper)






What would Austin Powers do ? I almost did and would have probably been better off if I had

I think I went on a bad run around this time







I remember I did go on a bad run at PH but went back to Aria, had $650 in chips. Put all of it on a hand and ran with it.




Did well, ran it up to $9,200. The pit boss on duty is a longtime friend. I was very drunk and he told me, stop dude, you have 9,200 there, call it a night. My response was well, lets make it an even 10k. Played for 800, lost. Proceeded to lose it all. Going for round numbers has cost me big. I always say if you learn from mistakes I should be an effin genius. I'm glad I can delete these pics in case I need to one day, but right now, screw it.



In a previous trip the rapper Drake gave me a bottle of champagne after we had been hanging out at the bar a while. I kept the bottle for a souvenir





Last year, I brought a bottle of Dom to pop in case Matt Ryan won regular season MVP which he did, kept that one (went big on him at 50-1, 2nd biggest win of my life)



This year I brought this bottle to celebrate a great year in crypto. All the people in the store said it was great. I really just wanted a pretty bottle.





The Monday after the super bowl crypto tanked. Ethereum was around 580. I was sick to my stomach and I usually handle it well. I have seen % losses this bad but never a dollar loss this bad. There was no way I was popping that bottle open. I think I shook it off pretty well though, decided to forget it, have a good time.


One of my friends from home left Monday morning to get back to work. The female friend stayed. She had planned a "date night" at Prime steak house Bellagio. We grew up together so its not weird or anything. I kept joking with her telling her I was gonna bring a date and it made her mad, then she ends up bringing one. Even went shopping for him, bought him a shirt! Its ok though, he was pretty entertaining. They tried to talk me into opening that champagne but no way I could, at this rate I might have to sell it.


I had never wanted to try a raw oyster in my life, but the way she fixed em up with that crap on the side, they were really really good.








I had never been to Prime but always wanted to. Until I went back two times later that week, (sorry guys) this was the best dining experience I had ever had.


The current conservatory at Bellagio may have been the best I have seen it since it's year of the dog, and I kinda like dogs




Went over to Cosmo a while. Looks like someone hit b jack.





Next morning my friend flips out cause she woke up late, thinks she's gonna miss her flight. She's a ball of nerves, makes me ride to the airport with her (double cab fare) turns out she had looked at the time wrong, made it fine.

Said goodbye to the Aria and not soon enough for me. My friend always talked crap about PH saying it was nasty, had a bad vibe or something. Took a lot to convince her to stay there at all. After she met some of the employees there, she admitted I was right. That rarely happens.

We had a corner tower suite at Aria, this was the view from the bathroom.





Checked back into PH, got a resort room. Its newly renovated and although the square footage is not put to good use, I believe it's almost as big as a tower suite at Aria. I did miss the fancy heated toilet/bidet at Aria though.

One reason I like to stay so long and like being solo a while is because I have been blessed with so many great friends out there. A longtime friend got out this night, we had a good time. I may post a lot of pics of girls on some of these TRs but they're all just friends. We played poker most of the night I think and of course I got drunk. I was glad to be back at PH. Not far from each other but you would be surprised how much danger can be in store on that bridge for a drunken me.











I stupidly blew a lot on video poker this trip. Playing 25 a hand, you get much better odds in high limit but I just like being at the bar I guess. I'll start out playing 1.25 a hand, get to drinkin, 25 a hand This hand was so close it hurt.




Well, I guess I wound up at Aria again. It was daylight by now I think. This dog was by his self.






Not sure I have ever seen this before. I know deciding your bet by it is ignorant but I had to go black




Worked this time




Looks like I went back to PH, played more VP. This is where I woulda been much better off playing in high limit maybe around a 2k difference I think. Oh well

haha, thanks for the love from the others as well. It's not always good with me, but its never boring

I don't even wanna know what 4 aces with kicker would've paid you in TDB

Maybe he does. 4000 coins, or 20 grand.

This thread gave me a full blown anxiety attack. Well done Slim. You know how to Vegas harder than anyone I know.

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I dont understand what the dealer did in the A7 v 6 double hand. How was the 6 the left most card?

Slim, your TRs are awesome. Honest, full of action, and loaded with pics. Thx for sharing!

My response was well, lets make it an even 10k. Played for 800, lost. Proceeded to lose it all. Going for round numbers has cost me big.

I think that's a pretty common thing. Been there done that..

$20,000 instead of $625.

Another great Arthur Bach thread, tho..

Slim,

Another instant classic TR from you, always love them, please keep them coming!

Pink hoodie girl is cute! Is she a friend from home or Vegas?

Slim,

You should write filmscripts. That will sell for sure. You're a genius.

Take care!

Im quite certain the OP and I have crossed paths at some point.


Do they give you **** about taking pics at the table? When I worked at Palazzo, people were tripping over themselves in order to be the one to tell people to put their picture taking device away. Even when they weren't near a table.

She lives out there, used to work at PH but shes a nurse now and rarely comes to the strip. When I'm with her at PH everyone loves her and I feel like Sideshow Bob

Yeah, new people sometimes say something. Ones that know me know its useless. I always say I'm texting, getting more money wired to lose to them

Thanks for all the love, I've been pretty busy since I've been back but I will finish this before too long

Dude, epic story! This is so entertaining. Would definitely recommend going back at the end of March so i can hit some Blackjack with you :P

The next night, I went to dinner with a girl I have known for a while but not well. She is extremely beautiful, stunning.... and just as sweet. We're just friends and I wasn't gonna try to get on her or anything. I think if she felt I had those intentions she would have never hung out with me in the first place. She gets hit on constantly and I know it gets old for her.
She has a boyfriend that was cool with it I guess cause I met him later in the trip. (he lives out of state, he was cool) I think anyone with her would have to put up with whatever she does😄. Went to Prime again, had to wait to get a table outside so I got to know the hostess a little (story with that later) Sitting out by the fountains was a completely different experience.









The weather was great and the company was better. We sat out there for about 3.5 hours. I love that place. Her life story was amazing and it changed my perspective on things a bit. Hardly ever do you see a girl as pretty as she is have such a genuine appreciation of everything. She is definitely not your typical spoiled pretty girl, not at all.

I'm not trying to boast about hanging with all these hot girls, I usually never touch that subject on any of these TRs but there is a point I eventually wanna make since I guess a few people read these and I always worry about my influence on folks, no matter how little.... I think I grew up a lot on this trip.


We went over to Aria, I had one green chip in my pocket from a while back. I said put it on one roulette number, instead she put it on a square of 4 I think. Whatever it was it hit, paid 225 I believe. I gave 25 to her, she said no but I insisted. Wanted to say hey to a friend so we walked around a bit. Saw a waitress, wanted a drink so I played some b jack real quick. Got her to cut the cards.... To quote Peyton Manning via Eli..."I'm not superstitious, I'm just stitious" I wagered 100 a hand here. I asked if she wanted to piggy back with her 25, she said sure. Won 8 in a row after she cut, amazing. That hasn't happened in a long time. Thinking we were due to lose, I quit. I had 1000 and she had 225. I refused take a cut of hers, but she was reluctant to take it, I said just tip the dealer and the waitress with 25. After my insistence, she was tickled to cash out when I did. I took a pic of her at the cashier... I know its a crime to not post a pic of her but I'm not gonna do it. Not knowing her, some may say, yeah right, she's beating you for money but that's not the case at all. I've been around plenty of that and know the difference. Besides, if she doesn't win the roulette and cut the cards, there's nothing anyways. I woulda had fun win or lose but this made for a really cool time. Walked her back to her car at PH, said bye. I have always jokingly thrown a ton of admiration her way being so pretty and so sweet but I was shocked to realize what a great person she was when I got to know her better. A friend had turned into a good friend, we had a great time.


The next night was Friday I believe, I really don't remember much and going by pics in my phone, looks like I just hung with friends at the bar. I take a lot of pics simply to remember sometimes cause I tend to get so hammered.




Pretty sure I lost a lot this night, overall I know I lost a lot, more than any other trip.
I don't really like dealing with casino hosts because then I feel obligated to gamble and although hardly ever successful, my goal going in is to calm down the pit games. The guy I was assigned to with Caesars loved me because I never bothered him, he got credit for my action. He would call me all the time but I never asked for anything. He retired and I'm down very big this trip, so I guess that's why a new host came and found me. He asked if he could do anything, I said why not. He told me I could take a party of up to 6 to Gordon Ramsay steak the next night on him.

I'll probably work more on this after Starbucks tomorrow

Still the best in the biz Slim!
Be well, peace.

Enjoy as always Slimster.

Appreciate that you dont want to post pic of hot friend but
can you at least give us an idea (celeb or otherwise comparison), of what she looks like, makes story better.

I think it's Saturday now, several had planned to come to G Ramsay but all flaked but one. One person had been all excited about it but just got too drunk. The one that didn't bail was a good friend who I hadn't seen much this trip. She's very beautiful.... but as far as personality, elegance, character.... she's hotter than a 20 dollar rolex ��. I hound her to hang out with me often if for no other reason, just so I can learn to be a better person from her. Sounds cheesy but true. Can't explain why or may not even know, but I had no desires to get on her either. We all used to hate those little Herbs who would be "friends" with a hot girl when any guy knew he would be all over her if she'd let him. I'm sure many think that about me with all the good female friends I have had. I am completely hetero and believe me, I've done my share of lustful stuff, maybe too much (for a Christian's standards anyways) and I guess that's why I think the way I do now, not letting the carnal urges determine so many decisions like it used to. I think we all get into a lot of trouble from that in many different ways. Between her and the other girl though, I will use my buddy's old line again "Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't kick her out of bed....unless she wanted to do it on the floor" - she may read this, I'm not trying to seem all honorable or impress. I'm just currently heavily caffeinated, being too detailed with the truth I guess.

Since it was just us, I decided it may be better to save the G Ramsay comp til later and asked her if she'd like to go to Prime instead. Someone gave me a hard time later about taking her to the same place as the other girl. I obviously responded with it's not like that anyways but it would be wrong to take her anywhere else knowing that it's the best, I wanted her to experience it.



I have always loved the Bellagio fountains, the music that goes along with it. That's why I love sitting outside, no other place can match that. It was a little chilly tonight but it was tolerable. The girl I was with was dressed to impress, looked better than a paycheck on Friday. The same hostesses were there, looked up and said oh, nice to see you againnnnn (as she sees a different girl) I am thinking they must think I'm a billionaire or something. The food was great, this may have been the 3rd time in a week I had the best dining experience I have ever had. Got the short ribs or something, it was good.









On the way out, after a few martinis had got into me... I told the hostesses I'm not a pimp or anything, me and both of the girls are just friends. It embarrassed the girl I was with a bit. I was kinda buzzed, in my mind I didn't want anyone to think bad of her so I just had to say something. I remember a long time ago I was with a friend at the Wynn that's really fit, nice looking, a head turner. I was known for heckling hookers a lot at that place back then. (never patronizing them, just messing with them, eventually telling them to clean up their life) She said everyone keeps looking at me like I'm a hooker. I said yeah, cause you're with my ass ��



My friend needed to go pee so I said go here to Club Prive, very nice bathroom haha. I used to hang out there a lot but its kinda dead these days.







The very first true friend I made in Vegas long ago works at Bellagio. She has always worried about whether the friends I make out there are trustworthy. I forgot to mention I introduced her to my female friend from home (who is extremely protective/worried about Vegas friends) earlier that week. When they met I laughed when I could see em both sizing each other up. It was funny and very flattering, blessed to have em both.

Since girl at Bellagio is always worried about my judgement in friends, I really wanted her to meet the girl I was with. She woulda knocked it out of the park, Bellagio friend was off that night though.



We got a few more martinis and I thought I'm gonna gamble somewhere anyways, might as well get these comped, won a little bit.













Walked around the conservatory a bit, (great experience, year of the dog, I like dogs) caught the tram to Aria, hung out there a minute. Did the same thing with the bar tab there. I'm usually a Red guy on roulette but I've got a buzz, saw she had a black dress on, went with black, it hit. One and done, drinks comped. I didn't want to gamble too much in front of her. Seems like it has made her nervous in the past. Obviously in Vegas, some people want to impress girls with gambling big. That's not me, afterwards I'm embarrassed by it when I'm around a girl I respect. I don't wanna hang out with any girl (more than one night anyways) that's impressed by degen gambling. I think it makes you look stupid playing big on a game that's -EV ...but yet I often do when I get to drinkin ��

If you have read my old thread with the hot blonde, Gus Hansen... I don't wanna sound like a hypocrite, I was just doing what I was doing normally and milked the situation that night, was pretty drunk.



We walked back to PH, had to take a break on a bench in Crystals because she was having trouble with her shoe. I felt bad for her ending up having to walk so much in heels that night. I know girls love shoes but she looked so nice anyways, wished she had worn something more comfortable... but pimpin aint easy I guess.

A hooker walks by, my friend comments on it so I go mess with her, acting like we were a prospecting couple. The hooker looked at her, got excited, said she will do us for free so we said well, why not?. We went back to the room, had a lot of fun for a while but then neither of us can remember anything after the hooker fixed us a drink from the mini bar. Woke up and she had gotten into the safe somehow, cleaned me out. Also a week later it started hurting really bad every time I went to pee..... just kiddin������ but let it be a hypothetical to anyone that wants to gamble on a hooker........ When I acted like I was interested in the hooker, my friend was embarrassed and said no, not me. Thats when the hooker got all excited and said, oh, you're alone? I then said well you just revealed you are thief, no thank you. Scram

Disclaimer again: to anyone that comes to Vegas with aspirations of getting a hooker... DO NOT mess with a "lobby whore" If they will screw you for money, they will definitely screw you out of money. There are way more thieves than hookers nowadays. I can honest to God say it's never happened to me, I don't mess with em but I have known people that have had some bad experiences. A whale I knew a long time ago had several 25k chips stolen from him. They will do something as simple as slipping you an ambien, let you pass out in the room.



She went home after that and I hated to see her go. I've always been a sucker for a charming girl. One definition of charm- the ability to make others feel good about themselves. I have also read a quote "all charming people have something to conceal" (not genuine) kinda like a crooked politician. Well, she has to be the most GENUINELY charming person I have ever met. All things aside, she has become a really good friend to me. Again, its possible she may read this and I'm not trying to be "charming" myself, just typing out some caffeinated self reflection I guess, probably part of the reason I write these.



I stayed up into the next morning, getting drunk. Nothing out of the ordinary I think, or maybe I just didn't take enough pics.



I still wanted to use the comp at G Ramsay, the next night a good friend said she wanted to go. A married couple she knew wanted to go also and got the tip so that was cool. They brought around this beef display that would give a vegan an anxiety attack







The beef Wellington is the signature dish, very good.







I'm not a big dessert guy but the ones there are impressive. What looks like a stick of butter is actually butter flavored ice cream. If you want an inexpensive, good experience there, I recommend just sitting at the bar, get a dessert.









These had some kind of liquor inside of em







Looks like I went to poker and obviously set into drinkin. The time stamp on this pic is 4:45am Monday.







I like to think most folks have a good time playing poker with me (or at least enjoy the loose play). One thing's for sure they either love me or they hate me. If you are a nit who does the headphone thing, never socializes, you probably hate me, but I doubt you would be at the loud atmosphere of PH anyways. You would probably be at a poker room I sometimes refer to as the library where a staff member or two hates me also.










I have yet to mention that I did not have what was even close to a hangover this trip, even with little sleep. I have to attribute this to

-taking vitamin b complex, milk thistle before I drink

-toting a pack of pedialyte powder all night, mixing in a water now and then along with a milk thistle

-taking vitamin b and milk thistle before I go to bed

- drinking a premium vodka (less additives) along with soda water (no caffeine, no sugar)

I think the milk thistle did the most as this was the first time I took it and the first trip with no headaches











This is the last night I'm in town. I slept til around 10 or 11pm in anticipation of being up for a very long time. My flight was around 5:30pm the next day and I planned on pulling one my last night. Walked to Aria to cash in some chips, on the way back on the bridge there was this drunkard who was hilarious. We went back to the bar at PH, later on we see the drunkard staggering along by his self. We called him up, he started talking his ass off, funny as crap. He saw me playing video poker, said he was a math major and wanted to play. I said why not. I looked over after a few mins and he was doing well, didnt pay it no mind. I started talking to someone, wasn't paying attention and before I know it he's lost big. I said well, let me get it back real quick. 25 a hand, lose lose lose. Ended up down about 500 so I got the genius idea of trying to get it back with one hand of black jack. Lose lose lose, ended up losing it all including my dignity and self respect. This was the worst session of the trip or maybe ever and I should have never been playing. I was gone a long time, my friend was very upset when I got back to the bar cause he was only there drinking since it was my last night in town. I'm usually good about handling the losses, not a chair tosser or anything and I always keep good manners with the dealers and all. This time I just thought I would tug at the collar of my shirt to relieve frustration, well didn't think it was possible but pulled a Hulk Hogan. Check out the bottle of milk thistle in the bottom of pic.











The shirt said boats n hoes. I loved that shirt, It was the shirt I was wearing the night me and the rapper "Nelly" got into it. The dealer always mentions I had that shirt on when he tells the story of what happened with me and that guy.

I literally lost my money and my shirt this night ��

It's ironic that it was almost that exact spot that my all time favorite shirt met its demise years prior. I told a hooker to find Jesus and she spit badly on it. After immediately drenching it heavily with hand sanitizer, the shirt was ruined next time I washed it









I started drinking and for the first time in a very long time, maybe a year I took an adderall. I guess my mood turned around because I remember playing more b jack around 7am.



I just looked back at my last TR out of curiosity and found this -



Kept on drinking all night. A good friend that works 3rd shift had come to say bye as I was leaving this afternoon, its morning time. Every trip I will tell her I'm not playing anymore black jack after she leaves so I went big on the last hand of the trip. I always seem to win when shes around.

That was the 2nd time I won the last hand of the trip when she was around. Being "stitious" and going by the things happen in 3s rule I planned on trying it again. I was playing with another guy, for some reason I had went all in on a hand 1500 I think. We both got dealt 16, dealer had 10 showing. Other guy stays on his 16. I always hit in this case but just before I made the signal to hit, I hear the distant laugh of my good luck inducing friend. Hearing that made me go against the grain and I said win or lose (no choice if I lose) this was going to be the last hand of the trip. I stayed on my 16, dealer flips over a 6, then hits a face for the bust. Hearing that laugh made the difference of having 3k in my pocket or nothing.



Between that, the addy/alcohol and mainly the big rebound for crypto that week, I wanted to pop the fancy champagne bottle. Make a memory, go home with a keepsake before I left. This trip was awful monetarily speaking but as far as making new, spending time with good friends it was probably the best trip I ever had. Me and a friend from home always used to stay up all night, then eat at Cafe Bellagio just before the flight to end the trip. The only direct flight to Raleigh has been in the afternoon the past few trips and I have enjoyed the day drinking. When friends got off work that morning we went over to Bellagio, took the champagne in my bag. The conservatory was even nicer in the daytime, beautiful. I'm not a big flower guy, but they are really nice and smell great. I have heard they spend 100k a week in nursery expenses. We popped the champagne at a cool spot there, then took it to the Cafe.









I'm not a champagne expert but it seemed to be pretty good. I didn't eat any of that sandwich, put it in a box and destroyed it later in the room. I may have been drunk but I remember that sandwich being wonderful. I got hooked on avocados this trip.









We all went back to the bar at PH, had a good time. I drank at that bar til the last minute. Ironically, the same friend from the last trip that I rode to the airport with was also catching a flight around the same time again.











Before I left I checked with the casino host to see how much I lost, it was bad. I asked for my avg. bet and he said eeek $666. If it had been a dollar more or less it woulda made a big difference in the near future since it factored in with a later decision. On the way to the airport I called home and found out what I had ahead of me. I was dreading it. I was very drunk and started saying screw it, why the heck am I gonna go home if I don't absolutely have to. I was really on the fence about it though. The limo driver said he had to pick someone else up and couldnt take me back so I said no prob, I'll just get on the plane. Later the driver said his next passengers were delayed and he had time to take me back. I pondered it again. I drunkenly said well I need to change that 666 anyways so I'm going back. The plan was to go back to the room and just rest.... spoiler... that didn't happen. Gonna finish soon
