Good first day

Spent the last couple of hours jumping around the casino. Some BJ, some 3 card poker, little video poker and some crazy slots. Dropped a few hundred in the $5 slots quick so went down to the dollar ones but then wound up on a dollar one with like 40 lines by the cashier - got some jackpot on it for like $1400 that required to wait forever for the lady to pay it. Lost more than that though on the tabled before so probably donated like 700 tonight to caesar. i should go back to that first $5 video poker machine and see if i can get the lightning to strike twice. Off to bed

 

you see....this is how my trip was SUPPOSE to go!

 

Wow! Sounds like fun Tom. Ups and downs, but fun.

 

Can't think of a better way to start a trip! Congrats! I can't help hoping our trip in April kicks off in much the same way.

 

Take em down....take it ALL!

 

The old lady went for some spa day so I headed over to Wynn to check out the action and sample their buffet for breakfast.

Food wasn't bad. Think I killed 5 orange trees with the amount of OJ I drank - I am expecting a citrus smelling urine to be excreted soon after overloading the nephrons.

Left most of the cash in the safe so didn't have loads with me going to Wynn so I was low rolling. 3 card was easy to play without thinking too much. Got a few flushes and straights but never at the same time! Walked away with $225. The roulette wheels there suck since they can not hit on 8 or 11 on demand. So there went half my 3 card winnings.

Thinking abou tplaying some regular poker this afternoon but I doubt I can go for long - I get too bored so unless I am raking in monster pots every 3 hands, I will die from lack of epinephrine circulation.

Kind of hard to chase the first big hit - even a $200 hit on roulette would be like 6-7 grand! I had 20! Now I need 30+! lol - Hello 411 - what is the number to 1-800-GAMBLER?

 

I think we all suffer from the same thing . . . chasing that big jackpot in the sky; just knowing and hoping that it's out there somewhere!

 

Well I tried poker but as I thought I got bored. Each time I wanted to play my hand I was betting $20-25 and no one would play really. I had one hand where I had king and queen of clubs and raised to $25 and as it turns out a guy with a pair of kings called. 2 clubs came but there was no ace so the other guy thought he was good. I don't know the odds or anything but he only bet $50 - what do I care so I called and then got the 5th club. He then bet $100 and I just called. The last king came on the last card and he pushed all his chips in (I think $115 or so) - I wish i could have raised more - oh well. He was pissed lol. But I got bored after about 90 minutes and figured i would relax for an hour before the dinner rush lol.

 

The little lady is taking a nap - debating if I can sneak out the door without her hearing me so I can go make bank

 

Well she woke up - she is getting herself pretty so we can go for dinner. I think we are going to try the burger joint next door at the mirage and then see if we can hit pay dirt over there.

 

Good luck!! enjoying the report so far

 

good stuff!

 

Well I think I am full of every fried appetizer known to man. Wings, fries, cheese, rings, I can feel my LDL rise above 800. I had to force the burger down - then cried like a baby as leaving and walking past the 8 foot tall cakes in the case at the deli across the hall.

I was having a ball in their casino but the Mrs. had to watch Jack Bauer - she can have him - just let me keep hitting good cards at 3 card poker. I think I must have had a stretch of 20 hands where like every other one was a flush or straight - also felt like I at least got a pair on the others - though the dealer did beat me one when I had a flush - dealer also had trips but I had garbage - glad I did not waste a hand on that. I walked away from there with $1500 or so but gave most of it back to their damn roulette table - maybe I was mistaken and our anniversary was October 31st or something like that?

Figured I would let the gut relax a bit and head back down to the floor after Jack Bauer saves us from the TWAs of the day.

 

so are you still winning???

 

great report and great way to start a trip. Leave some out there for those of us leaving in April.

 

awesome! what machine type was it and what were you playing per hand?

 

Looks like a $5 JOB machine, playing 5 "coin" ($25) in per game. At least this one, which was a good thing.

 

Exciting trip report!

 

Today was wild day. I got my 8 to hit on the roulette wheel again for a little over $3000 - but it took me like $1000 to get there. I played some Pai gow for a few bucks on the plus side for like a half hour. Craps was a money pit - it was like point-7 for like 15 minutes straight - gave up and thought I would go check out Venetian. Their roulette wheels sucked - so thought I would try some slots. Played some red white blue machine but got bored - I think i need the games with the bonus rounds to keep interested. So I found some non reel-video based games. That was a little more entertaining - I just kept hitting the start/stop button until the bonus came not letting the reels stop. That kept me entertained for a while. Walked over to Palazzo. Played BJ for a couple of hours which meant I was doing fairly well. Came back "home" - ended the day up less than $1000 but it was fun bouncing around. I hear we are having Italian tonight - hope it is not as fried as last night's food.

 

Well came to put the wife to bed - I will see if I will go down later after she falls asleep. Went and played some BJ and 3 card again after dinner. Luck was not with me this time Although the little lady did hit some nice jackpot on the machines for $700. Didn't eat much at dinner - still having nightmares from the mass quantities last night. Saw some dude playing mad money at the table next to mine. I am fairly sure he was using $1000 chips and had a nice little stack each time - maybe $5k? I can only imagine a good streak with that with some nice doubles - an easy $100k lol.
