    I have fallen in love with your TR and in you I have found my DDB (if not TDB) UX soulmate + my favorite liquor is tequila. Love your photos and all of the activities. All warm my heart and agree, your spirit is infectious. Sorry about your hubby but your even "holding your own" playing UX (I play the game sometimes 6-10 hours a day in Vegas so I know!) is a major win and if you come out ahead, that's great.

    And yes, the game is addictive. Knowing that the next hand could have 5 or 10 hands times a 8, 10 or 12 multiplier (I often play 10 play quarters, 5 play quarters or half dollars and some times 3 play/5 play if I am up dollars) is great. I sometimes close my eyes after I draw and if I hear a ding I know I got something. Hearing silence -- meaning not even getting a jacks or better -- SUCKS! But the winning hands can be amazing. :woohoo:

    I don't want your trip report to end so please stay in Vegas longer. ;)

    And where is that tequila bar where you had the flights and the other place?

    Edited to add: One other game I discovered, which I should only play in nickels or dimes, is UX Bonus Streak. It is insanely volatile. Wynncore only has it in quarters. It is UX on steroids. Almost too volatile so as to not be "fun" as the money can go poof so quickly. Had a brutal run on it in November at Wynn but had a blast and won a little bit on it playing 10-play nickels and dimes at Flamingo. Curious if you have tried that game and Tring, if there are special play considerations for that one.

    I love Bonus Streak!! I played at hard rock and won on dueces a few years ago! They have it at Bellagio outside the sports book too! For sure soulmates!!!

    The ghost donkey bar is new at cosmo. Hidden behind the booths at block 16 on 2nd floor!

    Congrats on winning the parlay!! I’m so bummed, the girls from work and I are staying at Cosmo next month and we’ll miss the skating rink by a few days. For some reason I thought in years past it went through January. :(
     
    Happy birthday to me!
    Let’s check Garth off my nieces bucket list!

    We went to Peppermill to have a sit down breakfast but the 45 minute wait was too long.
    Ended up at Nacho Daddy again. Because I am addicted to the lobster and crab enchiladas! [​IMG]
    And the Mexican corn. [​IMG]


    And last but not least. My parlay bets!!

    Ha! I don’t bet on sports either. The cowboys wasn’t the smartest bet. Unless they pull a miracle out of their hat I lose that one. [emoji27]

    The Cowboys are having a pretty rough time of it! Our Colts are dominating! Go Colts! :woohoo:
    Sorry for your loss though. On a side note, I really have no idea what any of those beats mean! :rolleyes2:

    It happens. I jump around among all of the games you are playing. It sucks getting Prem Quads on BP but sometimes on Ult X when you are running cold you gotta play a little BP to slow it down.

    Yeah that game is swingy as all heck.

    Strategy is a bit different than normal UX strategy with the most significant change to be a naked gut shot to be worth higher than a high card since it can get a streak when you convert.
     
    Holy Hotel! These new ones. Plus ParkMGM before, MGM/Cosmo after!
    Won a Package in the PENN Play Millionaire Social Drawing!

    Well would you look at this beauty!?!?!

    I went up to $300 in keno off of a $100 buy in. So I figure I will play some ultimate crack and BAM!
