^^^good post.

Only thing I have to add is "take the shuttle from the airport"

I thought back when I was twenty-three and the OP looks really buff compared to me at that age. I was six feet and one twenty-five. He does look small compared to me now as I'm still six feet, but two twenty-five.

I think OP's bordedom with the area is because he doesn't have a car. I know I don't think KC is boring, but I've got a car....and a fiancee.

I thought the MGM food court McDonald's was pretty bad. Whenever I go to any McDonald's for lunch or dinner I get the Fish and at that location, it was really salty plus the sweet tea was overpoweringly sweet.

BUY A PLENTICKET TO GET HOME IF YOU BUST!!!

if you dont do this what the heck are you going to do in vegas? you dont even have a plan where you sleep with money so what happens if you loose every single penny?

Save $5 for computer time, post when you're broke, and maybe we KC boys will take up a collection to get you back.

OP, dont be like Vig and fold in life like a twig.

If you do, make sure you buy him a ticket rather than sending him money for the ticket.

As far as Mickey Ds goes, the OP should be prepared for sticker shock. The prices at the MGM food court are significantly higher for meals than here.

Why not grind at home and build a bigger bankroll before moving out?

Pretty sure at this point that this is a level

Your point is?

Why?

To the OP, good luck if you continue down this path.

Free ketchup, mustard packages at McD

Grab soup crackers at buffets. salt packets too.

Troll fast food for left overs. Pizza crust is a favorite leftover.

Water fountains are your friend.

"Find" small trinkets to offer for sale to slot players. " Want this Fat Elvis Pen for $.75"

Poach left behind drinks. The under rail at the Craps table is good.
(they might not even know they are finished yet)

If you smoke stick to butts. The ash trays near the elevators and Valet are good.

Make friends with tourist and get toiletries from there hotels. They will help. Just ask.

By cheap nuts/almonds to eat. Peanut butter and a spoon.

Waitress boob and imagination > Titty bar

Wash you sock most often.

By a calling card first off..to call home when broke.

"you mind if I finish that" when obvious they are done with the fries is OK.

Good Luck

^It seems like you've done this before.

You guys are dicks, lol
This was a funny post, tho.
GL, CoDizzle!

Count down to busto.

These two sound almost too insightful for you to have not done them yourself! Hilarious post and decent advice for OP.

He does make a good point. When you bang the fattie from the carnival court for a place to sleep, make sure to steal the hotel toiletries on the way out the door. (Also, use the free shower)

Sell teh buttsecks for $$$ too obv

The best poker advice I ever got was "scared money never wins." It's so true. If you're playing with money that you LITERALLY can't afford to lose, it is very difficult to win. It's just too hard to pull the trigger on that third barrel of a bluff that probably would have worked. Or to make the tough river call for your whole stack when the board pairs etc.

The reason I say this, OP, is because you seem defiantly optimistic but you've never really put yourself in a situation where, if you make a bad call (or get sucked out on, for that matter,) you don't eat. Are you really confident enough in your own psyche or are you just hopelessly determined?

All that said, I agree that, if you're going to make horrible life decisions, it's best to make them when you are still young and have the time to correct them. Hell, that's when I made all of mine (and at least you're not getting married.)

Also, I'm flying out to Vegas for the week with my gf (arriving saturday afternoon) so hit me up when you get in town. Have a beer and chat.

lol at the derailed chat itt

If you say you want to punch someone in the face, that's a threat of actually doing so.

OP, **** the haters imo. gl to you, I hope you run well.

Try to be as "in the zone" and fearless as you can at the table.

Most importantly, have the mindset of a champion yet do your best to remain humble.

Take multivitamins + minerals for nutrition and drink the free coctails (like vodka cran-OJ) for calories. Save a ton on food!

You know that's an excellent point. If you drink A LOT of alcohol you will save money on food.

As of yesterday morning I have decided to postpone indefinitely to get a dental extraction and to take at least a week recover. Something I have needed to have done for a while and it sucks also took me sometime to recover from the first time I had one. So I will update this in a week or so with next date. Not something I wanted to be worrying about with no money in 2 weeks. Codizzle

Weak. But intelligent.
