    This is my 16th trip to vegas, but first time doing a trip report. It will be the wife and myself at the luxor for 3 nights. I'm a low roller mostly vp, with some table games mixed in. I get a pyramid king suite comped, along with 200fp, and 150rc.

    Thursday 2-23

    We have a 2:30pm flight on Allegiant air. I hate flying this airline, but the times and price worked for this trip. Much to my surprise the plane arrives early. We have an uneventful fight that also gets to vegas 30 mins early. We get our luggage, and try uber for the first time. $9 and a short ride to the luxor.

    I check us in, ditch the bags and head to the sports book. I put some money on the Badgers, and park my ass at the video poker bar, and watch an awful game.

    Oh I hit this 10 mins

    Then I tried blackjack with no luck. It's getting hard to find a 3-2 $25 table. I'm sure nothing is going to change there, the tables were full of fools playing 6-5. Back to video poker. Nothing big, but a couple nice hits

    It's 2:30 and decided to call it a night. About an hour into sleep the fire alarm for the whole casino go's off. They announce its being looked into, but the alarm stays on for a half hour. Finally they say false alarm.

    VP +1500

    Friday 2-24

    Woke up at 7:30. The wife was still tired, so I headed down to the casino until she was up and ready. We ubered to the Golden gate. $11, less than half of what a taxi costs. The plan was to eat at DuPars and get our $50 match play for flying Allegiant, only to find DuPars is closed. So we got our match play and headed to the black jack table. The wife decided to play slots instead, so I took the 4 $25 match play chips. I bet $25 per hand, and wouldn't you know it is won on all 4. I normally loose all of the match play in get. I played for about a half hour, cashing out up $400.

    Next we headed to the d for breakfast upstairs. I had the pancakes, and the wife had eggs Benny. It was good but not great. Used the $50 freeplay I get from them with no luck. Played about an hour leaving about $200 down, with nothing noteworthy.

    Next stop was the DTG. Went to the small high limit room to play frenzy poker. Had a couple of good hits

    While waiting to get paid I played the Cleopatra game and had a couple of bonus hits.

    Played for another hour with nothing else noteworthy.

    We headed back to the luxor, and got ready for dinner at Tenders. The wife had a seafood ravioli dish, and I had a ribeye. She said hers was so-so, mine was good, but no better than grilling a homegrown angus. After dinner I surprised the wife with tickets to the Reba/Brooks and Dunn concert. She always wanted to see Reba, and was very excited. I'm not a big fan of country music, but thought they put on a good show.

    After the show we worked our way back to the luxor, stopping and playing a little on the way back not really winning anything. I decided to try UTH and got on a good run. I didn't hit any big handscreen, but got a lot of pocket A's and K's, putting 4x on them and winning 80% of them. Played for 4 hours cashing out $1100 up. Realized it was 4am and decided that was enough for the night.

    Day 2 totals
    VP +2500
    BJ +400
    UTH +1100
    Slots +500
    Trip +5500

    Saturday 2-25

    Got up about 8:30 and once again headed down to the casino while the wife slept in. I played a lot of vp with no luck. The wife got down about 11, and we had brunch at the pyramid cafe.

    Then it was time to head downtown for some VP at main street station. Got 5 scratch cards (all $2) with only one quality hit.

    For some reason this machine spit out the ticket for the 4oak, leaving my previous balance on the machine. I was about even, so we decided to hit up the Plaza. I played the 10x odd craps betting $5 pass line $50 odds and $30 on the 6&8. Ithe was up and down until l cashed out $500 up. I played vp with not much luck, except for this 3 way poker machine.

    Not that big, but an interesting game.

    Headed back to the luxor for the last night's meal. We ate at the public house to use up the rest of the comps. We just ate bar food and had a few beers. It was about what you would expect. Since I was up from the last 2 days I pounded the dollar vp with no luck. Also played UTH, and a new game chase the flush. Also with no luck. It was about midnight, so decided to call it a night. Headed up to the room to pack for tomorrow's flight home.

    Day 3 totals

    VP -1000
    Craps +500
    Slots -500
    UTH -300
    CTF -300
    Trip +3900

    Sunday 2-26

    Got up at 6, packed up for the flight home. Went down and gambled a little. Headed to check out up $200. Headed to the airport for a 9am flight home. Flight was on time. We got back 30mins early.

    A recap of the trip. I did very good at vp, up $3000. Made some money on UTH, was about even on BJ, and slots. The Reba/Brooks and Dunn was good. Uber is a lot better than taking cabs. For how bad Allegiant air is, it wasn't that bad for us this time. Can't wait to come back in September.

    Nice TR. You got my attention with the first VP win. I was hoping it was at the $1 level (as I am sure you were too) but nothing wrong with that hand. Great job on the wins.
