    So my Giants pick is looking good and i have Donnell (3 TDs) starting on my Fantasy team. I was planning on taking the money line +175, but wimped out at the last second. If I wasn't such a wuss I would have won even more.

    Great report! If that white Porsche cayenne next to the Lamborghini is still there, would you mind taking a few pics of it? I've been shopping around for one myself.

    Night 3 Update:

    So I after watching the football game up in the room I went down to the casino floor. Mandalay Bay is completely energized with the car show people.

    [​IMG]

    The thing I like is that while it is accommodating all these people, it doesn't get to crowded because the gaming floor is so massive. Apparently the auction brings 50k attendees, so interested how the weekend turns out.

    I started with $2 3 pay Bonus Poker. Really wanted an 8k royal but not in the cards today. Only one quad, but it was a good one.

    [​IMG]

    Rest was unkind tough so I'm down 600. Collected my sports bet and hit the craps table. Even for first shooters, then when dice came to my side the table started getting hot. Three shooters to my right hit 2 points, two shooters right 3 points, then immediately right hits an immediate point and is in rhythm. I've pressed. Just then a group of 4 complete drunks barges into the table to the two open spots to my left. All middle aged, barely coherent, 3 women and a guy. Women are all wearing these stupid fuzzy hats. They throw random money on the table while the point is on, wads of random bills, which the dealers have to unwad and count. The closest fuzzy hat is basically leaning on me trying to squeeze in and asks me to move over a rack, which I do. it takes like 10 minutes for them to get settled as they don't understand the bets. Now what I should have done is picked up my odds and bailed. I didn't listen to my gut for he second time that night. Sure enough. 7 out, then my dice and PSO. Turned a winning session into even.

    I went over to BJ and decided to try switch at 50 a hand. Fun game. it's been a while since I had to think while playing BJ. Ended even after 1.5 hours.

    Since i was still sober. I then decided to go grab K cups, toothpaste, and restock the Pedialyte. So I drive to Walgreens and get the stuff. On the way back from the selfpark, I decide, why not pai gow?

    So I sit down at the table in the Lotus Room still carrying my Walgreens bag. Great CW comes by and brings a big cold glass of JD single barrel. Pai Gow is hot and I'm having a blast. Turns out the pit boss was a kicker at Missouri back in the 70s, so we talk about college football. After my first whisky I'm worried about dehydration because I'm going to the desert atv ing the next day. I look to the pharmacy bag to my side and see the Pedialyte. CW comes back and I ask for another whiskey and an empty glass. She brings a wine glass, and I Crack open the Pedialyte. So here I am at 3 am playing black chip Pai gow, drinking straight Jack in my left hand, and Pedialyte out of a wine glass in my right. I'm winning too. Another drunk guy comes up. He wants some Pedialyte too, so CW brings him a wine glass and I fill him up. Three hands after he starts he hits a straight flush bonus. I play until the dealer and pit leave at 4. Great times. Don't judge me.

    Woke up this morning with absolutely no hangover despite six glasses of Jack. Figured out my coffee maker, like everything else in Vegas requires a tip to work.

    [​IMG]

    Went down to RI Ra for lunch and had the corned beef. Okay but not amazing.

    I'm off ATV ing now, then pool and car show. More pics to come.

    That was kinda funny comment but what if it was you or your girlfriend/wife? I dont think you would be appreciative about that bro.

    You should respect everyone as you want them to respect you. Just my opinion.

    Dv, please if you can, take some pics of that cayenne. Front, side, back and if you can get the inside. Ive been looking for a white turbo and adding black wheels to it but never seen one with the vents in the hood, running boards and side mirrors like that. Was that just a custom job?
