driving to Vegas Saturday am, should arrive noonish. My son, future son in law and I hitting a 24 turnaround at Harrahs for his bachelor party. Craps for me, Blackjack for the boys. Heading home Sunday early. So gamble, eat and drink for them til all hours. Sounds perfect. I will take pics and track gambling as well. Maybe get to Cosmo to bump into a few of you if possible.
Heading back for a Thurs- Mon (7/28-8/1) trip next week with the wife for Brooks/Dunn/Reba and Rob Zombie/Korn concerts and some dedicated gambling and eating.
We will see if I can pull of a decent TR, you all are just fucked up enough to enjoy the things I enjoy.

 

Sounds fun! Looking forward to reading your report.

 

Have fun! Looking forward to reading it!

 

I'm an hour from leaving town. Didn't sleep worth a damn, if this was a solo trip I would be past stateline now. I love the anticipation of Vegas! I'm not very tech savvy, but I added tapatalk since you all said it makes posting pics easier. We will see. I have a $600 gambling budget for the day. The wife clipped me since this was such a short notice trip and we are going next weekend. Short hit and runs to build the rat hole for next weekend is the goal. And get the boys home safe since they have stated they are going to push the boundaries of getting fucked up.
I may have a bitching surprise for the wife for next weekend at one of the concerts but more on that later.

 

Looking forward to see how your two trips go. Sounds like you picked a good time to be in Vegas but than when is not

 

Hello, Hello, Hello, please tell us about your trip...we want an update.

Or, Maybe you are not stillsober.....

 

Nice SinD, I did come through the trip sober.
The boys were total shitfaced and we had a blast. I just got home after in the room at 3am, checked out and on the road at 9am. Home at 1:30 which is incredible trip time.
Here are the gory details....
Stopped at stateline played craps +$50, ours had a few beers, iced tea for me.
Checked in at Harrahs and headed downtown for lower stakes bankroll management.
Started at the D, craps in for $130 cash out $0. On to BJ in $100, out $60. Ouch, had only been there 45 minutes. 3 card poker buy in $60, color up $165. Net -$65.
The boys drinking like they might run out of beer.
We headed to Fremont and I bought in $100 to a $5 table and muddled around until my roll. Bought in an additional $100. I had a 19 count roll, pass line $10 full odds. Made 2 points. Stacked the place bets, starting at $27 across, pressed up the 8 to $66 and the 6 to $30. 4&10 at $25 each. 7 out. I felt like 3-4 more rolls w/o the 7 woulda made some money. Cash out $200. Net - even
Go to the Golden Gate, buy in $100, color up $110, the boys got worked for their whole buy in.
Tried a quick hit on Let it ride for $25. Buy in $115, color up $50. Net - $55
We wanted to go to Mermaids for Nathan's hot dogs but it was closed. It appears something new may be going in there and where the strip club was?
We headed over to Pizza Rock for late lunch. Very good as usual. Boys had more beer. They are pretty buzzed by now.

 

More this evening, I need a nap.

 

Awesome update, thanks for sharing your trip. Please do continue when you wake up.

 

So we headed Back to Harrahs. 5 pm or so. After gambling, eating and drinking I've spent $200 of a $500 BR.
Buy in BJ at Harrahs for $70 color $115. Up down can't win enough hands in a row when I'm pressing to get up any more than $100 or so. Bummer. it was feeling like a Blackjack heavy trip since the future son in law preferred that. I would play craps mostly.
I head to the craps table and buy in for $200 and lose it all in short order. I got the dice and $10 PL with full odds on a 4, $54 across and PSO. Half my buy in gone!
I kinda lost track of the details after that, we ended up at the Linq with the last $150 or so of my BR. Hung in pretty good with another 2 hours of $5 BJ and some roulette. Felted, hit the ATM for $200 more. No success.
The vibe in the Linq was fun and we had a good time with a dealer named Domino. Hot dancing girls and bumping music was fun.
We stopped by the piano bar in Harrahs for the boys to have another beer. Done for the night and back to the room at 3 am.
Up at 7:30 to shower and check out. I needed a BAC device like some of you have. The boys were moving slow and clearly still drunk.
I will fill in some random thoughts a little later.
The good news is the wife and I are heading back Thursday morning for a long weekend in Vegas staying at Paris. I will have a $5k bankroll for 4 days so I won't feel like I'm pressing so much.
