Noted, lol. I've been down to the poker a few times and no one has been there but I'll keep trying.

Bellagio weekdays are pretty hit or miss for table selection. Nice trip report though!

Good recs and must haves? I'm open like a book to anything food wise.
The Khao Soi (crispy duck curry) and Garlic Prawns are a fan favorite. Generally, I'd say take a look at the Northern Thai part of the menu, as that is what is a bit unique about Lotus.

In case you were wondering, they have pinball here.

Trying to describe this place is like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's explanation of space.

https://youtu.be/2NjSPKxt4ts

It's big.

No, really big.

It's so big, you just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it really is.

I've been here since they opened and I havent played half the machines I want yet. This place is terrific and worth every penny er, quarter.

On another note, every goddam time I go to Vegas, this damned machine gets me for a hundo. I dont do slots but man,but I love some Monty Python QFTHG.

They got me again. I will probably never learn this lesson.

Bankroll: $3500
Slots: -$100
Craps: +50


If you're of a mind to throw a random hundo into a slot machine, find a Megabucks machine and you might leave Vegas with $10 million+. Those are the linked progressive jackpot machines. Do it in a nice place like the Wynn because they might send you comps in the future. A friend of mine won $2500 in the Venetian once on a slot (he's more of a Flamingo speed) and they sent him free rooms for two years.

Yea might have gone a lil overboard there, lol.

I'll remember that for later for sure. Dont do a ton of slots but I got a hundo I can light on fire, **** it.

I’m also here on a solo trip (been here since Sunday and gf went back today) - gonna spend the rest of the trip drinking, playing craps, and poker. Shoot me a message if you want to throw some dice or just want someone else at a table that isn’t OMC!

Did you happen to notice an Indiana Jones pinball machine?? Got 3rd high score at spring break in middle school in gulf shores Alabama!

Going to have to check that place out next time I'm in Vegas.

Sounds dope man, I'll shoot you a message later for sure. Where you staying? Doing dinner at 9 but looking to play cards or shoot dice afterwards on the Strip somewhere.

Also, jealous you have a rental car. I've been spending a mint on uber and a rental would have been cheaper but hfs, driving and parking seems wildly stressful out here.

Plus most of the casinos that had free parking because of the slowdown have brought it back. But not sure if the all started yet. I heard even the mall parking at Planet Hollywood was going payed parking after its been free for years.

Table games running, I'm 3 beers deep.

Let's go ahead and get that $200 black bet rolling but let's make it look like $255 instead.

Bink.

Satisfied I buy $60 in singles and start betting $15 on black and spread 15 numbers, 8 and 18 being the focus.

2nd roll, red 9. Brick.

3rd roll is the beautiful black 8. Had a few bucks on it plus the black.

Next 3 rolls are black and I make a few small wins on covering 2 numbers in some spots and hitting 28.

New guy comes to table, acts like jerk to the dealer and then immediate 00.

Cash out exactly 600 so plus $345. I'll take it. Makes up for earlier losses.

Feeling good. Feeling the juices flowing.
