VP Porn

I finally got the photos from my wife's phone and here's one I forgot.

Ok its not really VP porn but it is the aftermath when things go well......not that often of course.

Congratulations on a winning trip. Love the photos. Thanks for sharing with those of who only get to dream about being in Vegas.

 

Great report SandsFan and congrats on the big win. I think yours is the first reports I read with a dinner at Marrakech. I love those types of Moroccan restaurants and have that placed bookmarked. If it's as good as other similar ones I've been to and was on the strip I think it would be one of the most popular restaurants. You definitely need an appetite so good idea to try it again when you're more hungry. Otherwise how was the atmosphere? Did you sit on couches and was it laid back and relaxed or was it busy and rushed?

 

This place was so relaxed. We arrived at 5:30 when they opened because wife and her mom were going to an 8 PM show. We were first there but it filled up fairly quickly. Never rushed at all. I want to go back without the MIL because it would be a bit romantic. I've had similar but maybe not exactly Marakech area. I will say we totally enjoyed what we had and needed another stomach to carry it all away.

This place is so close to the strip so you can taxi or drive so easily. We drove from Rio thinking it might take a while and were there in minutes. So now what do we do until opening........right?

Ok, I have tried the photos four times so appologize I can't down load. imagine a tent, couches, good food with hands, back ground music and a very attractive belly dancer.

I will post if I can figure out the error but worth a visit and we will be back.

I never get tired of reading this trip report, great job!!

I love all of the pics too.. from the food to the rooms, from the VP wins to the fat stacks of cash, quality stuff.

Lookin' forward to your next one!

 

God I love TRs with Pics!!!

Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks for the trip report. Very enjoyable. And thanks for reminding us about the Top of the World restaurant. Was just deciding onn reservations for our n next trip and forgot how much I loved it there. N now on my list.

 

Nice report, great VP porn!

Any Carlito's Burritos pics??

One of my life's goals is to win a banded stack of hundreds. Another life's goal is to one day eat a Carlito's Burritos (with my choice of red or green chiles).

 

This was my second banded stack of hundreds this year at the rio. First was in a previous trip report with gives support for degenerate multiple grey goose ( not drunk) gambling.

In the first trip, I handed the banded stack of my payoff to my son to hold for me since I had too much. We played until 7AM and then I went to bed. He played until we came down at 11 and informed me he lost the banded stack.....trying to tease me of course.

Sorry but no Carlito's Burritos pics. Imagine a strip shopping center joint that you would never go to unless you had a review to think....well maybe I'll try it.

Apologies but no trip report from my last trip when we made a stop on the way to the airport. Two rather hungover (I've been told, "we weren't hungover we were still drunk") members of our group went for the breakfast burrito which was intimidating. One burrito was enough for two normal people but each attacked theirs with serious dedication attempting to finish the monster. My wife went for the green chili stew which is by far my favorite. I tried tacos and tamales (meh), stew next time.

Cheap good food. a great stomach liner for the night after. It may be our new on the way to the airport ritual.

 

Thanks for the fotos and congrats on a VERY successful trip !

 

Missed this the first go around. Holy Crap. That ultimate X was basically an ATM for you that trip. And it looks like each big quad with multiplier hit just came from holding a pair! Wow.

At the rate you were going, I'm a bit surprised you didn't spell ACE$ on that deceivingly bad 10/6 ACE$ Bonus machine that Tim pointed out way back when. 2 for 1 on trips is not a good thing.

Also I'm curious, when you were playing that Wheel Poker game at Mirage, did you realize you were playing "Quick Quads" at the same time? You didn't mention it. Mirage has both regular Wheel Poker for 6 credits a hand, and Wheel Poker w/Quick Quads for 7 credits a hand.

Example "Quick Quad" from my recent Vegas TR:



Great run! Look forward to reading more in the future!

 

This was the first time I played Wheel Poker and I don't remember the quick quads. Guess I didn't hit one the short time I was there. I enjoyed the game and would probably play again.

I've played the ACE$ game at Caesars properties for years mainly because I can usually sit and play it for hours without running out of money. Of course I would like to hit the ACE$ in order. I didn't realize the payout was bad just liked hitting the full houses for 10 credits.

Next Vegas trip is April on an Elton John offer. Hopefully the luck will be back.
