August 3-9 - Mirage x2, Laughlin, Grand Canyon, Caesars x2 - Hopefully Live

Scratch that, bellagio buffet for breakfast. Thanks myvegas. Then hopefully pool. Wife has stripper 101 at 4:30 at p-ho. It was a $24 groupon so if we don't make it there for her, it's only a $24 loss. -$25 gambling yesterday, -$30-40 on food, -$10 on a styrofoam cooler, 6 pack of Dr Pepper and case of water. The cooler and drinks will be nice once we leave the mirage. We will use the sink as a cooler until then.

 

We ended up getting rained on a bit walking to bellagio. A bit between bellagio and Caesars. Wife is in a store called tods, I should have put a lock on her wallet. I didn't go in with her thinking she won't buy anything if I'm not there to ask. We'll see.

 

I have the hangover sweats. No headache but I feel ridden hard and put up wet. The wife is hopping in and out of stores. No damage done yet but nearly had a dent to the bankroll at longchamp, feel like she's going to end up buying this purse before the trip is over but looks like she won't today.

 

That made me laugh hard! Not that I can relate to it of course.

 

Just got in about 45 mins of pool time. It was pretty cool down there. Shower, nap, then heading out for the afternoon and evening.

 

Wife's doing her stripper 101 class. I threw a few bucks on the Astros for tonight and decided to sit in the sports books to relax for a bit. Planning to get stupid after dinner.

 

Drink more, that'll cure the hangover sweats

 

That's the plan! Want to get some dinner in my big belly first.

 

Italian meat pizza at cucina. Pretty darn good.

 

Wife ran a $20 down to $4 then hit for $48.00. This brings us to about even for the trip. Not much gambling today but we're planning to go get that started shortly.

 

Just saw the volcano erupt from the room. The glare on the window made taking a photo difficult.

 

Good stuff so far! And wife doing stripper 101? Lucky you!

 

Lost $100 at SLS playing pai gow. Won $30+ on slots and hit a small sports bet. Down $60 on the day.

 

Just slow played a flopped boat. Made some good coin there.

 

Just crushed some poker at mirage. Bought in for $100, cashed out $374.

 

Wife lost $40 in the slots while I played poker. Had 3 big pots. Pocket 8s on a 7 high board. They thought I had a straight.

A 10, then flopped boat. Checked flop and called a bet, checked turn and called again, went all in on the river and got the call. The guy turned a straight.

Last big hand was pocket 8s again. 10 high flop, check check raise, I called and 2 folds. Low card came, check, I bet and he called. River was another 10 and I bet $50 and he folded.

 

At the pantry now getting a snack.

 

Good day today. Was very tired but caught a second wind after dinner at Cucina. We did a lot. Stripper 101 for the wife, a few slots, few hours of pai gow and about 30-45 minutes of poker. We're still on day one money and up around $150 ok gambling and probably close to even counting food and taxis. Gonna keep using day one money!!!

 

We visited SLS tonight. SLS has kind of a dead vibe but wasn't terrible. A little blah. The stats on the wife's fitness watch are crazy with steps, miles covered and her daily exercise (over 200% today).
