Would be $160 for me because I have my wife. What does the $80 include?

It unless it includes a handy under the table I am still out.

No alchol, but everything else. It's a chef's choice plate, and Mrs. Z and I were both pretty pleasantly surprised at the amount, especially given the amazing quality. We did get a few extra pieces that we particularly enjoyed. You're not going to be FILLED like a buffet, but it's a good meal. I got drunk that night and felt like ****e the next day, since it wasn't enough food to stave off a bad hangover. My mistake.

We have quite good sushi where we live, and we've also lived in Seattle and had sushi at a few places there. This was far and away waaaay superior to any other place we've been.

****, now I'm overselling it, so there's no way it can live up to expectations.

Yeah...$80 meal apiece for my and my girl. Plus booze equals $200 meal, eeeaassssyy and a $40 tip puts this at bare minimum $240 meal.

I'll drop <$240 here...

And need to be rolled out of there. Fwiw, this is most likely where we're going on the 3rd. Anyone is welcome!

Then when I get back to NYC I'll go here...

Which has 3 Michelin stars to your 1.

Or I can go here...

I'm sure it's amazing, but it's comparable to what I can get here is my point and I'd rather drop that $$$ elsewhere.

Sure, but you have to suffer with living in NYC to get all of that.

Frankly, I an certain I couldn't tell the difference between a 1 and 3 star Michelin restaurant. And I have zero desire to eat at Alinea.

Let's have a Michelin debate today.

Hey Zoltan

Yeah have to say it's pretty funny to think that Turtle wouldn't be able to find better sushi than what's available in Vegas back home in NYC, the fine-dining capital of the US of A.

I'm sure that Vegas sushi is fine though.

Fwiw when it comes to going out for dinner in groups I play strictly 6-max. That's just me.

I don't know about raw fish but the Blueberry Hill can serve you up some nice fishnchips. As well as the Stratosphere poker room.

You're most likely right about 1 star vs 2 or 3, definitely couldn't tell the difference. But I was simply saying that I can get great sushi here at home and don't necessarily need to travel to the dessert of LV to get it.

I would love to eat at Alinea for the experience. Also WD50 and French Laundry and Per Se. But that's the former chef of 12 years in me talking lol.

And I'm also aware of how ridiculous the Michelin rating is, no need for debate

NOW wtf am I gonna do all day?

Alinea just strikes me as too much of a scene. I assume French Laundry is a bit more standard in the experience.

Remind me to regale you with my Chez Panisse-and-other-Berkeley restaurant stories when in LV.

How good are the games during ths next few weeks?
And what are the Rio cash games capped at? It doesn't list it on their website from what I saw.

20 Buy Ins enough to cover the variance for two weeks of play?

Just like to point out.... Last full week of work... And less than 2 weeks away from Vegas..

Pretty sure I'm just gonna go full degen and blow my roll at low-end craps and Fat Tuesday.

yeah games are insane and really good at low stakes...you will ocassionally run into a bad seat/table but there are just so many games/casinos to choose from. I actually don't always play a lot of cash at Rio since I hate it there so much

I have 57 hours of work between me and Vegas. Cannot come soon enough.

I would hope 20BI's is enough for two weeks. How many would you bring for 3 days of play?

I'm even worse than normal after 1BI and completely useless after 2bi's anyway so I was thinking 6, for what most likely will be 3 days of play, should be plenty for me.

Bc F4O said so....

hahahaha 20BI. If I drop more than 5 that week I'm just gonna sit down at a 3/6 game and drink my face off.

Like your style....we may end up blackout at a limit table before the week is thru.

Bc F4O said so....

If I don't find at least 2 - 3 games while I'm there where the standard open at a 1/2 game is 20+, then I'm not looking hard enough. If the game is capped at $300, then stacks should get in pretty easy. Limiting to 5 buy ins seems like suicide.

haha, last summer I got so drunk throwing chips around at 3/6, when the table finally broke at 4 am they wouldn't let me move to the open 1/2 since I only had $75. (Pretty sure it was because I was drunk. So drunk I apparently couldn't remember how to use the ATM.) lol min buyins. So I played BJ for the next 2 hours and ended up like $400. FFFUUUUUU Mirage hahahahahaha!!!!!

I totally get it. I just know it doesn't matter if I have 5 BI's or 20BI's, I'll spew the rest. So my 2BI stop loss should serve me fine for 3 days of play. I also won't be living at the tables either.


Bc F4O said so....

I read somewhere that cash at rio is also in another space in addition to their poker room?
Do they have anything higher than 1/2?



Countdown!

I have like 100 hours left urgh.

ya the cash games go from 1/2 +

i played 5/10 in some really good games last year (and got crushed. fu variance). tbh there is no need imo to play above 5/10 for nl since its unlimited bet and buy in

just to put in perspective here was a hand at one of the tables i couldnt win at

full ring
effective stacks between 2k-20k

i wasnt involved

large preflop raise, 6 way to flop
it is a wet board like 9tq or qj9 with a flush draw + straight draw

3 players get all in on the flop for ~3k each, 2 other players cover and have some more raising/calling. the other two get it in on the turn

one of the guys who covered on the flop scoops a 20k+ pot at 5/10 in a 5 way all-in
