TR: Build a Pool, Win a Trip to Vegas? 7/23-7/28 (VP, Poker, Craps and BJ)

Atta boy! Book the win and on to the next moment.

 

Love the poker recaps. Keep it up and grab that monster!

 

Back to Blueberry Hill (opens at 6am due to covid19) for breakfast. I didn’t really want to eat the Coronado Cafe at SP again so here I am. Tennessee steak (9oz?), slightly breaded with lots of delicious onions, eggs and pancakes. Steak is really good. Not gamey at all.

 

Few hits at South Point, back on my UX DDB machine:



This is a great hit but I’m just imagining what it could have been..... so close omg....

 

This was pretty cool. Dealt full house followed by dealt straight (so 12x multiplier):

 

Nurse save me, I’m bleeding!

 

Thank you, nurse!

 

Nice hits so far! You should just get a room at South Point!

 

You’re so right lol. If I wasn’t at Aria I would.

Going to spend an hour or two in the Aria spa once I decide to stop here. Next trip out here I’ll definitely consider a stay here, especially if I don’t have a car.

 

Is Aria running sit n go's winner take all or strictly cash games. Great TR thx for updating often.

 

I didn’t notice any tourneys going. I don’t think Aria is running any at all.

 

Grinded my way to a $1000 win. Going to Aria to spend a bit of time in the spa and then Momofuku for lunch if it’s open.

 

So much for the spa idea. The facilities are limited and a day pass doesn’t work because that limitation includes the pools and loungers and stuff. They’re basically only open for like facials and mani/pedis. That’s a disappointment.

 

BACK to South Point you go!

 

The hallways outside my room smell like weed.

 

I will eventually lol. I’m going to hang out at Aria or Cosmo for a bit and eat lunch at Cosmo. Maybe a short nap at some point and then a combination of SP VP/gamble and Aria/Bellagio poker/gamble for the rest of the day. Might do it big for dinner. Thinking surf and turf maybe.

 

Obligatory visit to the conservatory at Bellagio:



My wife if I ask her for another Vegas trip later this year:

 

+$15 in $50 blackjack at Bellagio ($10 in tips). I was up $115 going into the last hand and bet $100 and pulled a ten and then a 6. Womp womp.

Off to Momofuku to eat lunch and then I’m going to possibly upgrade my room at Aria to a corner strip view suite so I can get a nice window tub since the spa let me down. Depends what it costs though.

 

@MiamiDave actually ask if they can give you complementary upgrade tell em you and wife not into “smelling weeds” lol seriously if it bothers you... or perhaps they can give you “deep discounted” price! Good luck!

 

Momofuku has a nice lunch special going. Normally $18 for the pork ramen and $14 for two pork buns. They’re giving you the pork ramen, a pork bun and a beer/drink for $25. I’ve always meant to try the pork buns before because I’ve heard they’re good but I never had the appetite. At this price though I figured why not?

Yes boys and girls, the pork buns are amazing. Wow.



Soup portion is a bit smaller than normal for the special
