Maybe I'll have a fellow VMB sighting?

Good luck on your trip.

I had no idea that Pharrell wrote that song for the longest time... he is the greatest songwriter of our generation, with the possible exception of Prince.

 

I didn't know Pharrell was a co-writer on ^Hot in Herre" either. That song totally reminds me of my ex over our first summer of dating. Don't tell M...lol

Newfound respect for @wasilla, could only grind out 200 pts, even going to a desperate burnout from .25 to .50 and a few $1, p of course stuck two 4oaks including lows w kicker.
Craps table was interesting there real dead, dice would just sit and not bounce much. Was top 2 roller at table but didn’t accomplish much.

D w as harsh w a good match at $10 min bj. Brutal dealer pulls to 21. So many. Had the get out of 22 cars, never got to use it. Craps was meh. Hit a random easy hop bet. Also would say I was top two roller but a full table w anyone and everyone buying in mid roll made for hard trekking

Decent pull-up at cal on bj w a guy betting $25+ on the pair bet and catching them. Nearly hit his goal of getting whole to $1k (might have) but a few bad hands and a double halved him when I left doubled up.

Mss craps always solid but the chase press always didn’t make it. Did see 3+ “puppy paw - hard 10”s I was ok. None of 3 hard parlays hit.

High point to end the night was bj and hitting two suited pairs in a row for $2+3 bets paying 150. Cut and run.

5 am and vid poker tournament time is 11. The advanced ddb strategy card is a pita- don’t much like it.

 

P was up and holding tough until she dropped 200 on mss vp progressive w no 4oaks

 

Nelly took a trip from the Lou to the Neptunes was a big hint!

They had a pretty distinctive sound at the time, notably the hard hitting main beat in stuff like Pass the Courvosier or Grindin by the Clipse.

 

Is the vue bar open, and are the pay tables intact?

 

Vue bar was open, had a very strong “new” smell and not positive but think ddb .25 was 8:5, getting better at $1. I was thinking that’s worse than BHB which is worse than 4q so noped out. Can’t be positive. Was going to try to get all paytables everywhere onto a index card but didn’t.

 

(I guess it’s the same as the mss machines with royal progressive)

 

Btw first day tournament went poorly. Banged buttons on ddb for 20 min w 1500 to start, ended w no 4oaks and 1000. Guy next to me has more than 3k. Couldn’t see anyone that did worse but talked to one guy that said he did.

Didn’t help that I was still awake at 6am and had to play at 11. Around 70% in and a little behind on pace went stupid royal chasing holding single high cards over low pairs. Fail.

Broke my 4oak drought (not playing that much though more craps & bj) on nickel dream card. Lol. 3 play got 2/3 aces w kickers + aces no kicker for a hundred. I’m always losing interest and pulling out to hit a table.

 

Oh also during late last night bj session asked and got a $20 pit comp at 777 good for 24 hr- used it for lunch today. Doubt we put in enough slot points in to ask a slot attendant.

 

According to vpfree2 the pay tables are intact.

 

Your first day score wasn't much worse than mine and I still won $50. The winner of my tournament had a first day score around 1,000. Keep the faith. If the Vue bar does still have 8/5 BP progressive, then that is the game there. Anyone who wants to play DDB will find much better pickings next door at the 4 Q's.

 

Yeah DDB is only 8/5 at both bars at the D. 4Q is better play for DDB.

 

Does the 4Q bonus auto load without visiting the players club? Seemed like it might have
