    Haha but there were some big players this time , especially at BJ ...I'm going to make 10m before I get back to Vegas to make myself feel better. The constant losing sucks...I remember there were a couple years where I did really good , made won a few tournaments, now this constant losing sucks...

    If you are making millions while spending thousands you are all good.
    If you are hiring I am a local Las Vegas guy with a car and knowledge of the city.
    I am looking to get some extra money for a better life. Thanks and kick the casino's asses.

    Well Nate, I'm sorry you lost. As someone who once lost on 34 consecutive blackjack sessions over 12 Vegas trips (two straight years of losing), I feel your pain and frustration. On the bright side....$87+$15 is $102k back on a $500k loss. Sucks that you lost...but that's a very strong discount program. You're getting back 4x your theo in cash. Over a number of trips that will really make a big positive difference on your results there.

    Hi Nate, so sorry about lady luck abandoning you this trip. We've all taking the bad run beatings, but your numbers are eye watering. I swore a few weeks ago i'd never play on a double zero roulette table again after such bad luck in Vegas. I prefer single zero for the house edge and the familiarity with the number placings, but the wheels are rare in Vegas, the limits are higher and overall the lack of these tables does not suit my play strategy. My bad run reminded how tough/cruel roulette can be. I did better at blackjack thank goodness.

    I was really so hoping you'd make a comeback, so that will have to wait until the next trip. Your trip reports as always are brutally honest so we share the high and the lows with you. Thanks for taking the time to keep us posted. best wishes.

    I spent all night in HL slots sulking, it was actually fun, basically played every single game there. Blew through 20k but it was actually a lot slower than table games...got 90k identity points whatever that is...

    Forgot to mention about six handpays all small ...

    Sorry to hear about the loss. I agree with waiting until you replenish your bank roll before gambling again.
    The math on these games can't be beat in the long run unfortunately, so I hope you can at least have fun along the way.

    Nice! I'm pretty sure this is the most baller statement I've ever read on this board.

    Btw, what is the 3% Quick Pay? How do you get that and is that paid in cash or chips?

    90k is equivalent to $900 in comps or free play on slots.

    First Nate, I hate that you lost! I can relate. Secondly, I agree with thefish. You are getting 25% back based on a 400k loss. That is great. Puts a dent in the losses and should make you feel a tiny bit better. Also count the 5k a night in comps or whatever. Did that help? Doubtful.
    For me and probably you its about affordability not the money. Well, a little bit about the money. I just want to win. I go expecting to lose as it is adult expensive entertainment. I praise you for giving it a scouts try. You have a great attitude every time win or lose. Now, go make the 10M and I will see you on the golf course in June or so. Thanks Nathan!

    Nate, I have actually been playing more slots than usual myself. I have been having some of the worst luck on table games ever since Lunar New Year...only two small winning sessions, out of many. The slots are actually fun and have been giving me more play time than tables, as of late. You make your 10 mil and I'll make my 10k and we'll get our revenge on the tables...lol. For now, I am just bouncing around on everything, looking for any resemblance of a hot streak to take advantage of.

    No. 100 points is $1 to use on comps or $1 free play.
