    Wow great seats!

    I bet a lot of NHL games tonight thanks to a promotion and got killed. Of all the bets I made, I bet the least on Vegas, I had a feeling they were going to have a tough time. :(

    Alright... a quick recap of our second last day...

    It was a slower start to the morning. I feel like I said that before. Got cleaned up and went out to the Bellagio Buffet. We had a 2 for 1 My Vegas reward for it. Cost was $55, which basically brings the price down to normal if you use the 2 for 1 haha

    As mentioned we thought the food was great. And this was one of those times that having MGM Gold level was very useful.

    We started out with some slots in the B, actually doing quite well and winning a few hundred each. But, the plan for today was to take advantage of the 5x tier multiplier for Ceasars, so we headed over there. Slots weren't as giving at the B, moved on to Flamingo, quick hit and run in Cromwell, then over to Paris and finally Planet Hollywood. We were treading water gambling-wise.

    From there we went back to the room for a quick change then on to the Fortress for the VGK game. The seats were amazing! Unfortunately they lost, but the experience was so awesome!

    Following the game we made our way back over to Planet Holleywood to continue on the 5x multiplier. Played a bit there before heading over to Paris to look for a $15 BJ table.

    Couldn't find one there or at Horseshoe so we crossed over to Cromwell and finally found one. Played for awhile before making out way to Flamingo where we spent the rest of the night.

    Ran into Matt Bridger near the end of the night and had a great chat. Finally at 4am we jumped in a cab back to Park MGM.

    We hadn't had much since the buffet, just some popcorn at the game, so we grabbed some Side Betty Grill before heading up to crash at close to 5am.

    Was a fun filled day, I ended up hitting the 1000 tier credits at Caesars for the 1000 bonus, and hopefully the 5x multiplier will show up soon as well. Will be close to half way to Diamond if all comes through.

    Final day recap to come.
