Having always enjoyed the TRs in this forum, it‘s time for me to share some random debauchery.

I am a 34m German coming to Vegas for 16 days on June 7th. Have been to Vegas a couple of times, last time was for WSOP 2016.

Looking to play NL and PLO Cash games 2/5 - 10/25 and random tourneys at Rio, Wynn, Venetian, Aria, Bellagio and wherever else.

So far, I have flexible bookings for 5 nights at Caesars Palace, 5 nights at Encore and 4 nights at The Cosmopolitan. Haven’t decided for the last two nights but will probably be staying at Golden Nugget, since I love the Downtown experience.

Besides lots of poker, I expect to do some good amount of fine & casual dining, random nights at bars / clubs, some pool (party) time and the occasional degen session at Black Jack.

Have just matched to Caesars Rewards Diamond so looking forward to some line skipping.

Any tips to enhance the trip are appreciated. Also always happy to meetup with other degens who happen to be around.

Will post shoe and money pics before the trip.

This seems intriguing, I’m in.

Viel Glück! Sub'd for the sweat.

Best of luck. Looking forward to your TR.

Nice hotels, I'm in, subbed.

subbed

Do you wire money over?

Not planning on doing a wire.

So far, I have been doing okay with cash + lots of credit cards.

Do you know how long a transfer takes?

14 days to go...Yeeehaaa

im coming from australia on june 5th for 12 nights
i wire money
takes 5 business days

ha. I'm coming from Sydney on the 6th. staying at Venetian

good luck OP...I might see you at the tables - I'll play 2/5 and 5/10 and a few mtts. thinking about doing a TR as well, albeit I'll do a retrospective one I think...I failed miserably the last time I tried to do a live one

On my way to the airport now. Here comes the roll & shoe pic

Ready for takeoff

GL. Subbed.

(62K -- do they go back that far? )

Probably a double decker

747-400 Upper Deck in Business class.

Flight to London was delayed by 2 hours, so stranded there...

Anybody knows if they have a bad beat jackpot at British Airways?

Great, haven't flown on a 747 in many years, thought they were all retired....the upper deck WAS pretty cool.

A bad beat jackpot is qualified for at BA is when they miss the connection in London to your non-stop flight from London and they re-book you onto an American Airlines flight, in coach, with a longer travel time and a 5 hour change in Miami. I think you win a meal voucher, which you should use at Versailles in the airport for a Cubano sandwich.

Good luck on the rest of your trip.

Bring sunscreen, it was over 100 degrees yesterday and Germans crisp pretty quickly.

Got rebooked on a flight tomorrow morning from London Gatwick. Boeing 777 unfortunately, so no upper deck this time...

Sucks to have missed a Friday night in Vegas but have met two cool dudes from my hometown who also didn’t get their flights and qualify for €600 in compensation from the airline.

Made a pledge that I spend this money for complete degen purposes. Suggestions are very welcome...

Finally on a plane to Vegas...

GL. sucks you missed the flight.

compensation $ should be degen'd in the pit imo. whatever your favorite game is

Depending on your inclinations, 600 Euros will get you all kinds of stoned.

Or drop 2 bills on the sunset time helicopter rides over the Strip. I did one to the Grand Canyon and thought it was kinda overpriced ($600), but coming back and flying along the strip was glorious. Since someone else is (sort of) paying, it could be a nice splurge, something you may never do otherwise. If you do this, 100% pay the extra $50 to save the front row seat.

GL!

Thanks for the suggestions. Just checked into Caesars Palace.

Had booked a Forum Classic room and got upgraded to 42nd floor in the Augustus tower + complimentary late check out.

Will go talent scouting and drinking at the pool now...

Got drunk at the pool and Cabo Wabo.

Bought in for $300 at Planet Hollywood‘s 2/5 game.

Played one hour and left with that



Never bluff a drunk...

Degened down the strip for 5 hours. Won some bucks at the pit games. Getting a burger now... Not sure how much I’m up right now, but defined hitting the ground running.

Not sure if I gotta call it a night or not...

Great start to the poker especially the awesome hourly at PH. Looking forward to reading about the two week grind.

You definitely hit the ground running. Great job! Good luck!

in!

looking for some plo and talent report!

Viel Erfolg
