DV's Live TR (9/23-9/28): Suddenly Solo - Cars, Chips, and Cards

First night in the books. The D casino did not disappoint. I started with the Double Deck blackjack in their little high limit area. Right now they have a promotion where you can win this corvette. You get a ticket for every BJ on a $100 bet.



Played heads up against a friendly dancing dealer and a not friendly dancing dealer. Play was really choppy, with really good shoes immediately followed by bloodbath shoes. I spent about an hour and a half up there and ended up escaping with my buy in and a couple corvette tickets. I then went to the Pai Gow table and bet blacks ended up there $250 ish after tips. The cashier actually had to call up to the pit to change the $1000 banana chip, apparently they track them here.



So at this point I've been up 22 hours, traveled across the country by plane, train, and automobile, and am up $250 bucks. To complete the night I headed over to Little Darlings to take in some artistic performances and make some college donations. It was amateur night and well worth the investment.

Rolled back into my room, hit the rack, and am writing this over some eggs and fruit. Planning to hit the pool and some VP. Open to downtown suggestions if anyone is still reading this.

 

Great pictures, and glad you are winning!

 

The D pool. Not much, but perfect for a nap in the sun.

 

Looker in the black one-piece with red cup in her left hand who is staring right at you...tourist, or working girl?

 

Oooh, mama!

Santé,
TL

 

I didn't know The D had a pool. Thinking of staying there in January, so appreciate any details. Enjoying the TR so far. Good luck!

 

I am far too sober to go over and find out.

 

If she puts butter and syrup on you, get the hell out.

 

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

 

Haha, "Recombobulation Area"...that's funny. That kind of levity is nice at an airport, but I wonder how many people walk by that sign and think "wtf??". You cheeseheads have a good sense of humor.

 

Smart man DV I applaud you for that lol

 

Getting hungry. How is pizza rock?

 

Amazing. Had the Michigan Avenue on my trip and it was just like South Side Chicago. They have different ovens for different styles, and the sandwiches and burgers look awesome too, going to have to get one of those on a subsequent trip.

 

Wow. Freaking fantastic pizza and a IPA for 12 bucks.



They cook it in this wood fired stove thing.

I ate the whole Damn thing. On the way here I used my free play on VP. So I'm 100 up before I even start tonight.



I also played this machine, which is listed as better than 100% payout double double bonus. Anyone know exactly what it is?

 

I'm on the road right now and looking on my phone. So some of payouts look blurry to me. Are any of them different than standard 9/6 DDB? It looks like 9/6.

To be above 100% it has to be 10/6 (100.07%) or some other paybacks changed.

 

Great pics. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Guess I should have known, but I had no idea there was "recombobulate". So cool that they have that sign

 

Loving your report. Keep it coming.

 

So, as someone else mentioned the D has "smart " elevators now. All the controls are outside the elevator. You punch in the floor and it tells you what elevator to get in.





It takes some getting used to but it seems like it speeds things up downstairs.

In other news, Binion ' s has a craps crew consisting of their dancing cowgirl dealers.

 

You should stop by El Cortez and play their double deck BJ game. You'll love the reaction from the pit bosses when you start playing black chips....

 

ok then, I need to get to Binion's this weekend
