    The cab back to aria was about $10 ish - the entrance to the museum was cheap too.

    Optional donations to a 911 memorial and the museum added a bit extra (but optional)

    Day 13: what happened to pictures??

    Anyone notice the longer this report has gone the less pictures there has been? Sorry about that - anyway to continue.....

    Was a slow run into the day but we bounced around playing video poker at aria and then Monte Carlo - up and down but a nice comeback saw us even by late lunch time

    Close to my first royal - but alas, still elusive!

    [​IMG]

    Had a voucher for a $100 credit at Monte Carlo and used it at double barrel - food was acceptable, I had some BBQ and GF had jambalaya. Would go back on an offer but maybe not full price - had a decent Moscow mule or 3

    Watched the Jets vs Colts - last time I will get to watch American Football at a sensible time and then onto the evening session.....

    Hit two 4oaks in a row at $1 triple line which was a good start - at row 802 at Aria :)

    $15 a spin is a bit volatile so I took the money to 0.5 bonus poker - had a long run but still no royal!

    GF won $400 at double double and returned this sun though the course of the evening

    Just got into blossom before they shut at 10:30 for a snack - as mentioned earlier in the report, recommend

    Some more play - nothing of note closed the day

    We are close to hitting platinum so figure it's best to stick to mlife joints today - not going to chase it with extra budget though

    Last full day to find a royal (or 7 card straight flush at pai gow lol)

    Day 14: Vegas kills us......

    So we ease into our last full day of Vegas - and it all goes badly.......

    I could not hit a cows arse with a banjo from 8 inches. GF neither - nothing nada

    So she wants to go to javiers for Mexican - cool by me

    After we play pai gow - again, smashed to bits......

    GF is so fed up of losing she goes shopping I wander back to the video poker bar, was going to grind out a poker session but the top bar man rogert recommended a game I have not played - keno.....

    I could not lose he said.....

    [​IMG]

    And then I could not lose - had a good run at craps, pai gow, anything, was all good

    So I decided a decent red and steak were in order

    Stopped by the host and all charges wiped and now we have platinum at mlife - apparently we get a limo back to the airport!

    Vegas we love you!

    Vegas message board members we love you too!

    Till next year - Le fin

    Nice way to finish!

    And how many numbers did you have to hit to get a 7000 credit payoff? 8 of 8? Worse?

    Where we ate last night one of guys cleaning the tables was actually named "Keno". I felt bad for him having a parent that that is possibly so addicted to the game to think it would be a good idea to name their child after it. My gf would kill me if wanted to a name a child "Quad" or "Royal" (I've seen the latter name before too...lol)

    Great report! Thanks for keeping up with it!

    Great to meet you! Have a safe trip home, if I'm in London we'll have to play craps at the Hippodrome and roulette at the Ritz where I am a member.

    Well done!
    That last pic is one hell of a chop. What cut, and where did you eat that?
