This game is hilarious. Another $200 or so on a bonus...

Big one!!

$372 just on the initial spin...and I got the bonus.

Too bad the bonus sucked. Only $405 total.

Thanks man. It’s WAY more fun to do these when people follow and comment!!

Showering (again) - Vegas makes me feel dirty. On top of that some jackass spilled a drink on me as I was sitting watching the game, so yeah.

Headed down after for some gaming and some dinner although I haven’t yet decided where to eat.

Recommendations anyone?!

Anyone ever been to Deja Vu and/or Palomino? If so any thoughts?

I’m a bit Rhino’d out...thinking about maybe trying something new.

This Virginia/Purdue game is nuts. No money on it, but my god, what a watch!

Man, that was crazy. I feel bad for Purdue’s point guard...threw down 40+ but also had the bad pass. Nightmare.

What a game!!!!

Red Square for dinner:

A bar made of ice...cool!

I had the Siberian Sturgeon Short Stack and the Grilled Octopus.

The former was literally a tiny short stack (of tiny pancakes for those of you not from the South) with whipped cream, watercress, and caviar (etc). It was f’ing delicious even though it sounds gross.

Octopus:

Short Stack:

Not too bad in terms of price either with a glass of wine...

Onward and upward!!

Need to give Red Square a try when I am in MB in June. Would recommend Fleurs. Haven’t had anything below excellent in there the few times I have tried.
Citizens is decent as well for a spaghetti or ribs takeaway.

A little something...

And another...

Definitely planning on Monday. Tomorrow is some more betting on hoops, despite my better judgment, and getting re-packed for transfer to Bellagio on Monday.

After I get to Bellagio, I’m thinking that’ll be perfect timing after I drop my bags at Bell Desk OR get an early check-in (unlikely).

Either way tomorrow, to your point, is maybe the least ideal day of the year to be renting a car and driving it around, aside from New Years anyway.

Good night!

One last note, is it just me or is the prostitute thing getting way more common?

I’ve been approached at least 10 times in 4 days. The wife in the room excuse does work wonders however.

Been hanging around the unofficial Hooker Bar next to the poker room in the Bellagio (the official Hooker Bar is at the Rio)?

Yeah, he is really firmly at Mandalay Bay. Never seen someone try to start a 5/10 game at their home casino instead of walking to a casino that is actively spreading it.

Fantastic TR; I am enjoying all the pictures and updates. My foodie friend loves octopus; orders it from anywhere if it is on the menu. How did you like that dish?
