    If still no luck on the bowling lanes... would you dare to give Silver Nugget a try?

    You've got a few bullets left I'm sure, I say just take a few good shots and perhaps variance will finally be on your side!

    If I took a pic right now out my window you would be terrified by the cold and snow here.

    I am just starting to read this so no idea if you are up or down but I will keep reading and wish you luck.

    Btooooke
    Just a bunch of 2/4, 9/10 hands that basically got blinded off
    Dude next to me at last base had a pair of queens or at least one queen 13 hands in a row; and when someone sat out the hand that would have been his, went to the dealer...had a Queen
    What are the odds of that? Has to be pretty high right?
    Man, as soon as we IPO I’m going to try like hell to get in at shufflemaster to see what’s what...Id love to know..and they can’t threaten to fire me because I’d tell them to fuck off anyway HAHAH

    Idk man, Silver Nugget is actually great fun, and I never felt even slightly intimidated there... I felt perfectly safe. Loved it both times I went, and I'm eagerly going back in a month.

    Hope the post 9 pm bowling is a great time!

    So we’re coming back to TI; as Kris wants to use that huge tub to have a soak.
    I think I’m going to fire one more $400 bullet into craps to triple up

    They got them for ~free.

    Last time I was at the bar at Tunica Roadhouse (RIP), bartender used a pint glass from Tin Roof Brewing and I got excited because I like their IPA. Bartender said, "Oh no, we don't have any of that."

    Fuck.

    Good luck on the comeback!!!

    M and I brought our bowling shoes one time to Vegas because we considered some $1/game graveyard bowling at Gold Coast on the trip. Did we? No.

    You made a good decision; you can bowl at home. Vegas is for Vegasing.

    So we played $100 through $5 Top Dollar..got a $200 bonus; but played that through it and the other two top dollars in HL.
    Kris took a $100 to some lightning link; and hit absolutely nothing
    The last $200 we played some $10 craps...lasted a while; considering we’re betting $40’ish a clip ($10 flat, $10 odds and 6/8).
    Ultimately though, bag another win for Republic of Nevada.
    Although, at ~$1000 out of our pocket; this has DEFINITELY been the LEAST losing trip we’ve since I can remember. (We has ONE in 2018 where we broke even)
    This will definitely be my last gsmbling trip..until the annual January trip, in 2020. (Wasn’t supposed to come THIS one but $450 freeplay was tough to pass up...
    Thanks for the read everyone; but I probably won’t update this again tommorow, as were just going to get up at like 7am and head out on the homeward trudge.
