here is my final results for poker, down about $1k. Had a good run to start then got down and tried too hard to get it back, did not relax and have a good time so lesson learned.

I started with roughly $4100 and returned with $2100 and some change. So not really all that bad. This year was way different in getting in a game. I like to move around but the rooms were so busy that I was not able to do that, it really was crazy. I see today the Bellagio only has like 40 names on the 2/5 list so maybe it is already slowing down after the Big 50.

I was really exhausted by the time I got on the plane so sorry for not following up sooner.

This trip report was way lamer than back in Dec, I think due to always waiting to get in a game and not being able to move around more but still a great time.

I go again in Sep for my nephews bachelor party. Don’t think there will be as much poker as I will need to hang with the group and I really don’t think it will be an all out party but we will see.

I also plan to go in Dec for WPT at The B and also during the Nationals Final Rodeo

Later all

I am back for another round and report. The required shoe pic.

The roll! Back to the allotted low roller $3k for the trip.

And my becoming customary Spotted cow at the airport.

This trip is with a group of 6 or 7 others for my 30 year old nephews bachelor party you could say. It certainly is not a group that will have a blow out drunk fest so don’t look for that. Probably more steady drinking, football bets very low stakes gambling. The group is 30 year olds with modest income. And then one other guy my age. No plans have really been made but talk is doing Top Golf one evening, watch NFL Monday somewhere, get some cigars, hit downtown, hit some dive bars like Stage door and Ellis Island, they do want to hit a inexpensive early day poker tournament also one day. Of course I will hit the poker tables when I can. Overall a different trip but looking forward to it since I usually go alone.

On this plane
All the cattle loaded and on the way

in

Frontier looks absolutely miserable

Arrived and remembered the sign picture

Actually not too bad. Like the direct flight and I almost always get upgraded to exit row

The new Raiders stadium coming along nicely

Fort all is the plan for tonight.

Love the food and keg urinals at Virgil’s BBQ
Looking good for the Patriot bet so far

In for $700, treading water

Boys went to the dispensary earlier so I played the first session in for $700, out for 894, up $194. Met up with them to walk the strip and drink for quite a bit and then headed back to Bellagio. In for $500, up around $100, will make this a short one hopefully.

Finished 2nd session up $336. Plus $530 on poker for the first day and up $90.90 on NFL. Good day with some drinking with the boys also. No plans yet for Monday. I am thinking of taking the Saints at -6.5 so advice would be good on that or the Raider game

Nice win for the day

Agreed. Such a good TR. Loads of pics and updates. 5 stars. wp sir.

Thanks

Big beer and bacon, they figured out life

$2.50 for 24 oz cans. For every lowballer

new walkway between Hardrock Cafe and Park MGM due to expected foot traffic for Raider games

I need recommendations for a strip club to bring the guys Tuesday or Wednesday night and how it works. Should I take a guy up offering on the strip or is there a better way to do this. What should we be looking at for a cost? Pretty sure they can pick us up but how about getting back, just an Uber?

Yes I could search but it is my thread so I can be lazy!

Also looking for the play on the Saints and Texans game. I want to go with the saints at -6.5 but it is moving back to -7 now

That line opened -9 and I never thought it would have dropped through -7. If you can get -6.5 that’s a solid pickup

Awesome. Sold. I will let you know. The Linq had -6.5 this morning but around noon MGM had it at -7 I will prob still take at -7. Thanks

Top Golf for the afternoon. Pretty cool place. t
