So I've been back in LV for the last week, had a great adventurous trip. Time to get back into the groove of posting some vids and grinding.

I'll try to post up a little update vid like tomorrow.

Hey Carl, I'm sure it's listed in here but I don't feel like digging. What's your snapchat? I'd love to follow.

Good stuff on the travels Carl, as always! Curious to see how poker does this time around at Westgate. It seems like it would be solid to get the sports junkies gamboooolin it up, but they tried twice and closed twice already due to minimal poker business. Third times the charm???

They appear to be dark chocolate.

Yeah exploring the abandoned aqueduct in Niles Canyon with old buddies was fun. One piece of useless trivia: It was at a bbq in Niles that I was invited to my first home game back in 2008.

I don't think these small poker rooms opening or closing are a very accurate barometer of the strength of the poker economy overall. Small rooms are either slightly profitable or slightly losing, but they are an amenity that can attract hotel guests and indirect business. I heard someone say resorts can't get a 4 star rating without a poker room.

First impressions: I found it a bit odd that they are using pokeratlas as opposed to bravo like everywhere else in Vegas. 200 BI cap is a little odd too.

If you want to grind and catch a sporting event, it seems like a perfect spot as it is adjacent to the massive sports book.

Hey thanks! I am paying 169/wk so about 720/mo. There are dozens of places just like where I stay lining the streets around here.

June

Total hours played- 17.5
Average hourly winrate- $41
Winnings- $731

2012 YTD

Total hours played- 583.5
Average hourly winrate- $19
Winnings- $11182
This area you stayed in in 2012 seems like a great spot to be in. Can you tell me where I might look at that rate? These are weekly/monthly motels I am guessing? Also, what is your living situation right now if you don't mind telling and how did you find that? Need some help! I've been to Vegas once for about 50 hours, very fresh to the scene.

IIRC that place I was living back then has raised their price to atleast 210/wk last I checked over a year ago. If you google apartments in Las Vegas there will be a lot of options depending on the part of town you want to reside. Some need deposit and leases, some don't.

I think the first time seeing Slayer and Lamb of God was when they played in 2006 in San Jose... either at SJSU events center or the Shark Tank. Now I've seen both bands at least 5 times each since then.
