Day 1:

Up and at'em at 3.30am to catch the 6.30am out of Dayton. We get there at 5.30am and they have remodeled since last trip. so instead of taking the shuttle from long term parking we just huff it by foot.

when all said it done we get to the gate just as they are boarding. there is no first class on frontier, but we did upgrade for $25 for extra leg room. kinda like paying $25 to sit in exit rows. but hey, at 6' 225, it was worth the $25.

slept most the way to Denver then had a 2 hour lay over. grabed a bite to eat for the on time boarding to Vegas. Flight to Vegas was freaking brutal. I am no fan of flying, but the turbulance was horrid. a couple in front of us was sick as shit. the wife was puking in a garbage bag most of the 1.5 hour flight.

we touch down, grab a cab, get early check in by 11am and head down to the casino.

Hilton no longer has full pay pick'em, so pittled a little on the 9/6 and dabbled in the pick'em they had hitting quads fairly quickly for $500, should of been $600, but didnt play to much of it.

after putting in a little play at the Hilton we head to downtown. Played some double, double bonus and hit quad Aces for $800. Trip was starting off. after spending some time down down we head back up to the Hilton. my sis catches a nap and I head out to the pool for a bit. but first stopped by the high limit BJ table.

limit was $50 at the table, i buy in for a dime, guy gives me all black, ok, after up and down up and down i had $500 left, so f-it, threw it out, sure as shit i get 4's vs a 6. ended up splitting twice and 1 double down. my ass hole puckered but i squeked out a win and headed quickly to the cashier cage.

I was paid with Baccarrat chips, didn't know they were larger than the average casino chip. off to the pool.

Hilton doesn't have too much candy that is easy on the eyes, but it worked for a while.

I got word LB was having elbow trouble, so with a +250 ML, thought I would take a jab at it, ending up hitting that with ease.

The day ended fairly early, 8pm Vegas time, I was up about 3K-4K

Day 2:

Started at 6am. HA, I NEVER get up at 6am, well I do, but I don't feel good. I put on my workout gear and hit the strip for a run. Love Vegas, especially early, when there is not much of a crowd. Did notice a lot of casinos turn their lights off now during the early morning/afternoon hours.

got back about 7.30am woke the sis up and went down and picked up our rental car. She is Vegan, so she wanted to check out Ronalds Donuts over on Spring Mountain road.

BEST DONUTS EVER! if you haven't tried them, do it, you will love them.

After picking up a dozen Vegan donuts($13 a dzn CHEAP) we head over to "Go Raw Cafe" for a quick juic pick me up.

I had the Apple, Ginger, Carrot, Brocolli. Good shit, felt great after drinking it. We got som food to go for later in the day and that night. I got veggie sushi and some kinda of vegetable wrap with almond cheese, shit was off the hook. also picked up some wheat grass lotion for the wife and some other items as it was all raw products.

we left there and headed to Goldie Locks, it is a Filipino rest. my wife is filipine and she likes the pande sel, so picked her up a couple bags and we headed back to the hilton.

sis wanted to shower and watch dr. oz, so i hit the spa for a massage and soak in the hot tub.

got back to the hotel decided to hit the stip then changed out minds(wish we didnt) and headed back to downtown.

We ended up at the Golden Nugget where the BJ rules kinda suck, no DAS, but we played anwyas where I got my ass waxed tot he tune of about 5K.

sis has never really exerienced downtown, so i took her over to the Cortez, god this place is horrid, just the smell alone. we played some craps, SD BJ and headed back to home base(hilton)

we met up with an old high school buddy of mine that moved to Vegas shortly after graduation. he is working on getting out of Vegas saying the school system sucks for his son.

we sat around the Hilton book chatted it up for 2-3 hours, then headed up the strip to Casion Royale, strip was PACKED on a tuesday night. we pittled a bit there and Ceasars and headed back to call it a night.

2 day, ended up down about 5.5K. monster swing, stay tuned for day 3, where a 25 min crap run was unreal... LOL

Day 3.

got up fairly early to start on the grind of making some of my loot back.

started out at VP, lost another $200. thought Id try some 3 card poker, i only play pair plus, about 15 mins in i hit trip 4's. pays 30-1, only had $15 out. lol

went and pittled more on blackjack and craps grinding out small profits.

pretty much stayed at the Hilton till we had to head down to Luxor for Carrot top. We had dinner at PF Changs, hands down great place to eat. Had the sesame tofu and veggies.

after eating we collect tons of the free porn shit my sis is into mixed media art and is going to make me a kill collage with everything Vegas in it to hang behind my bar.

We make it to luxor and i go over and check out the Bentley watches to see what i have coming to me thanks to BAS!

We had great seats, on the isle. The opening guy was pretty good, but Carrot top was off the damn hook. He was GREAT. if yo have any doubts, throw them out and get there and see him, he is a riot.

after the show we catch a cab and head back to the hilton. I was beat, we had to be up at 5am for the flight out(hate AM flights outta vegas).

but my sis talked me into one more roll at the craps table. i bought in with $200 and never looked back. there was 2 shooters before me they did decent, i made a couple points, but then came my sisters monster roll. i didnt time it, but i am guessing it ws at least 25 mins.

There was a crowd of probably 2-3 deep around the table with people leaving the other craps tables to try and jump in on the action. it was a blast had the dealers been a little better. now that i think about it, they were probably getting annoyed a bit. it was loud as hell and got louder with each point.

hell, i still don't have my voice completely back. she rolled pretty much all th points back to back other than a few she was rolling 5 like a mutherf'er.

needless to say, that short roll got me even and we turned in at 2am, had to be up at 5am...blahhh

got up in the AM, checked out and made it to the airport with 20 mins to spare. i didn't gamble any more, we got our nephews some bug suckers, and needless to say, they were REAL friggin BUGS! HA

flights were actually early getting back to dayton, got back 21 mins early, but had to wait 45 mins for our luggage.

overall, great trip.

SEE CARROT TOP!

your trip to vegas sounded much more profitable than mine bb....except that one -$5k BJ session (I mean blackjack)



not sure if I mentioned this but holy shit you are such a high roller.....when I hold a $500 chip i'm taking pictures cause they only come into my hand a few times a trip....you sound like you buy in for $1k chips!

Bigbet...when u say "pickem" are you referring to pickem poker??? If so, I have killed that game over the years. Ive had one losing session out of like 12 playing that game. I first got started on that game at Ameristar in Kansas City. I was looking for a video poker game to play and asked a floor man. He guided me to pickem poker and I was skeptical...well, $400 later I was hooked...have trouble finding it now. Found it a few years ago downtown Vegas, 4 queens maybe?? Anyways, loved your writeups, sounds like u had a blast!

I happened to be there at the same time except longer. I didn't get back home until yesterday and left April 30th. Didn't hit my usual royal flushes so the trip got kind of expensive.
