Gaggles and Big Sack and no Questions...Semi Live??

Yeah I'll be there that weekend too but staying at Cosmo.

 

I am sure we will have a couple of meet up's if you are interested in meeting some very cool people. Just shoot me a pm and I will give you my cell you can text me on..

 

well than you shouldn't mind showing up at my house and pretending to be me this week so I can go to Vegas???

my wife might notice the larger......evillaugh:evillaugh

You are a High Roller, we only go to the ghetto Sox. its easier with the little kids actually and way cheaper. I've got two white sox games this coming week....tomorrow at Yankee Stadium, and next weekend back in Chicago. Ticket in NY---$70, ticket in Chicago---$11.

I'll see you in December then more likely than not. That seems to be a yearly trip as its the only time some of my buddies can get away. We may do a cruise or mexico this year though. fuck it should do both. need a nice relaxing cruise after a solid vegas trip anyway, to recover.

well enjoy chicago, if you hear a bunch of whining kids and a cursing Irish woman, that's my family!

Ok since this is Gaggles trip report and we have hijacked it, let me start his trip report with a little Gaggles impersonation:

"Bing Bing Bing.....well folks I've just dropped off Macker's mom and boy did I need some extra vaseline to get my thumb out of that bowling ball. Luckily they had some at 7 11 when i was stocking up on milk thistle cause we are gonna get homeless drunk upon landing at the fish-under-the-sea bar at caesars palace.

I am 100% sure I'll get upgraded to an original 1967 room, possibly the one where I was conceived by Andre's grandfather on Caesars opening night".

Bing Bing Bing....live from the Paris diamond lounge ladies and gentlemen. I have hit 98 quads on day 1 3 hours since landing and am only down $1500 plus the cost of a bandaid and an ambulance ride. guess I was riding those buttons a little too hard trying to play 40,000 hands the 1st hour to get a royal like beejay and macker do on opening night. I was pounding those keys faster than I pounded that Betty White blow up doll at stampede last summer.

Binb Bing Bing....soo drunk,,...bellagio porgressives.. 1st hand pay of trip...$34.89 on the 50 cent progressive...hungry should have eaten last night....woke up to piss this mornign unzipped my pants and pulled out an earl of sandwich bbq hawaainn where my penis should have been, damn CET properties....i hope i used comp points.

Bing Bing Bing.....Big Tea Sack and I have been banned from all las vegas cabs for being so loud on the ride from golden gate to rio and insisting on dropping the tip to the cabbie from the voodoo lounge. Big Tea Bagger went to bed early after hitting his first quad in 15 years and spending the whole $34 on an orange juice at voodoo. I think his GF was mad after he made her split a 4-piece chicken mcnugget happy meal on their anniversary. I don't see what the big deal was, he let her have the TOY!!!

Ok gaggles out....will be back to report LIVE later tomorrow, or in 5 months as the case may be....."

 

Ohhhh how close was I to his actual facebook post:

Despite Allegiant frikking Air making us 90 minutes late to Vegas things have been redeemed by Caesars staff. Always nice to get upgraded for the weekend to a room with a doorbell! However I don't really need to see myself in the huge mirror beside the jet tub.

 

As predicted, and at Bellagio Baccarat bar on triple play by Gaggles @ 1:04am:

 

LOLL Beeejay, you guys know each other way to well. That was an on the money prediction.

 

Cannot WAIT for more of this! One day I will meet up with some of you in Vegas! Until then, love your reports.

 

As promised, we are live from the Caesars Diamond Lounge! It's been a pretty good time you guys.

F+cking Allegiant air...late as usual. But we made it to Vegas at 10:05 and somehow we were first off the plane and checking into Caesars at 10:35. That has to be a record. I have never walked out to the cab line and seen that there were no people in line! Big Sack scored an Augustus for one night, I scammed an Octavius. I would have gone with the Augustus as the difference between the rooms is no big deal and the walk is about a mile from the casino but she said she had no rooms left with any knid of view. Fair enough.

I met Big Sack at the Seahorse bar and the play commenced. The place was packed and I had to wait to get on a bar top. Fatso was grinding at .25 draw poker or some dumb 6/5 game giving him 2:1 on two pair. No wonder the guy always loses. A 6/5 pay table us brutal! I went with the standard 8/5 strip bar top short pay and while I held my own for awhile...I was quickly down $200. But the drinks were fast and furious and I got my 4th Driver to go. Yes...I had soem $50 screwdrivers. Making bottle service everywhere seem like a good deal no?

Some wierdness. One bartender said he can't comp Goose but all others pouring it. We are both Diamond. Eff U, Diamond gets Goose asshole. Of course this happened to Mr Luck himself aka Big Sack but he didn't care. I might have made an issue. CET WTF? Stop chasing your players away to MGM properties. Which is what we did as we went over to the Bellagio. Somehow Big Sack broke even at the bar making his stupid short pay game look much better than mine and his drinks far less than $50 each. I hate him.

 

The Baccarat Bar at Bellagio was our next stop. I dug into my usual spot and slipped in $100 and played soem triple play DDBP. I lost. I put another $100 in and thought this is a bad start and the dollar cost average on these screwdrivers is high. And by the way CET...even on quarters with Big Sack only being Pearl...they didn't bitch about comping Grey Goose. Get your sh+t together.

Well the suspense is over I suppose (and a long long wait) as you guys saw the picture. I held three spades to the Royal and tapped it. Nice. 4000 credits and $1000 nothing to complain about but I really need one of these on dollars. So with a new lease on life and now up for the trip I began drinking anew! I also tapped quad threes for $100. Love the action on triple play but quarters just doesn't get the heart monitore moving anymore. But a win is a win and a Royal is nothing to complain about. Big Sack lost again and again playing some boring old game that wasn't even Bonus Poker OR DDBP. I think he was down $200. Things would get worse for both of us from here.

Off to Aria.

 

Arrived at Aria and the place was packed. Big Sack wants to jump a tier at MGM so he had a hankering to play. I think trying to jump tiers with Mlife on .25 video poker will make for a long haul but I wished him luck. He actually headed to a video bj game and I went to play some horrible short play 7/5 DDBP where a dealt Royal pays something like $38000 or something. As you can see from the TR there was no picure of that. In fact despite my best efforts at teh Sports Bar and the $1 Progressive machine... I didn't hit a damn thing and burned through $4-500. But that means I am still even right??

And holy Hooker Madness Batman! I was literally accosted at every VP bar at Bellagio and Aria. Not complaining, just making an observation. Sometimes I enjoy chatting with the girls but tonight I just wasn't into it. They always left quickly after the standard "You want some company, baby?" "No thank you dear...."

Part of the experience though eh?

So things get hazy but I went back to the Bellagio leaving Fatso at the video bj where I would later finds out he lost $200 on a $5 bj game. But he wanted those tier points! Umm I don't think he jumped a level yet. Gold is it?

Back to Bellagio Baccarat bar I dug in on the same lucky Royal machine which gave me a nice little quad 3s again but no kicker. So I did the only smart thing a guy could do. I raised my bet. Well if you don't get a quad $7.50 a spin runs through $150 pretty darn quick. And so it did...

There was also a $100 chase but only one Benny on a 10 credit Progressive. Nothing. Holy smokes I can barely see. Bed time. Across to Caesars I went to get some food. Yes this is called foreshadowing....

 

I was too drunk to sit in a restaurant. I was starving. I hadn't eaten since the airport in Great Falls and that was about 10 hours ago. Doritos! I paid about $3 for a stupid little bag of these and went on the long hike back to my room. I finshed the chips before I go to the room. I tell you it is a long walk to Octavius. Anyone guess where this is going?

Now let me say...it has long been rumored by my friends that I have eaten food off the floor or room service trays. This was a false accusation. I say WAS.

So I'm staggering down the hall and sitting on a room service tray was a half eaten chocolate chip cookie and some mini muffins. Yes, yes I did it. I ate the mini muffin. But does it make it any better that the room service tray was NOT on the floor it was on one of those carts? So really..it was not on the floor!

Is that so bad? I didn't think so either! But wait. There's more.

I awoke about 5 hours later relieved that there was not 24 hour porn streaming on the TV. As I got up to go the the bathroom I saw on the floor...a peice of a chocolate chip cookie. Now I'm not saying I ate it. But...I think on the balance of probabilities you can make your own assessment.

Not my proudest Vegas moment. Okay I got 15 minutes till chicken wings are wisked away. Out for now.

 

I have considered stealing the still sealed condiment bottles (jelly, etc), but I'm not sure I could do an open exposed muffin.............. Might I suggest sticking a box of Little Debbie snacks into the suitcase next trip? (Do they sell those in the great white north?).

 

Note to self....Do not approach Gaggles and ask him if he wants company tonight.

On second thought, Drunk Skadoo might enjoy the "Do I look like a hooker" game.

 

Degenerate Gaggles texted me this at some point last night. I am not sure who is more hungover between myself and our fearless hero.

I ran into Alexanbo in Times Square after watching my White Sox put an NFL-like drubbing on the Yankees 14-7. We ALMOST got drunk enough to take that flight to Vegas.....almost.....

 

Shit, you could fly to Vegas every weekend and stay at NYNY. Who'd know?

 

Great idea Chuck! Sadly the good ole Red Lobster in Times Square is sooooo busy I have to work Saturdays AND Sundays as well. Like my boss says, "Those tables aren't gonna bus themselves!"

 

Oh gaggles, that is homeless drunk. I love it!

Beth

 

Back again LIVE from Caesars. This will be two days in a row you guys. Not bad for me!

So the next day I awoke after 5.5 hours of sleep which isn't that bad for Vegas and hit the pool. Big Sack made it as well and we exchanged gambling tales. He dumped over half his money bu in all fairness...he never brings enough so it sounds worse than it is. But....$700+ in losses is still lousy for us low rollers.

Fatty wanted fast food after. I personally think Cheapy Bear just didn't want to pay $20 for a buffet. So we wandered our seperate ways after about an hour of pool time. Mirage buffet was good and I ate a little more sushi and gelatto than I should have. That should have been the end of it but slow witted Gaggles just couldn't get past a bank of DDBP Triple plays. No story here folks. $100 in and done very quickly. Frustrated I chased on my favourite bank of vp by the HL room. $100 in and nada returned. Hmmmm. I think I'm starting to remember why I seldom gamble during the day. That and I am not a day drunk go so I can't even get back ata the losses by drinking their booze. So my comped buffet was now $200!

One last kick. I wanted to play and I literally hadn't played on that $200 for more than 10 minutes. $1 Progressive Draw Poker. A slow game to be sure where quads of any kind only get you $125 but that two pair paying 2:1 is nice. A few minutes later several straights and a couple Full Houses saw me up to $200. I cashed out and now the buffet was reduced to $100. Deal! I went back to the hotel for a much needed nap.

 

Big Sack has arrived at the lounge and tells me all he has eaten all day is a banana. He was looking forward to wings. Alas, I literally walked in here at 6:00:01 and they were clearing the winds away. Shocking.

So that would lead me to last night.....

I left the lounge after updating you fine people and after walking around Caesars I just didn't find any vp that was calling my name. For some silly reason a $1 progressive bank by Bugsy's bar in the Flamingo was. So I went there. And guess what happened....

A played Beejay's new game of choice Double Bonus Poker. It was a nice little 6/9 pay table and $250 for each quad and $400 for premiums. A good game as long as Aces w kicker doesn't pop cuz then you are out a lot of money.

$100 in...down to last $10 when I hold three 2s and get 2A. Arggg. Yes it's $400 but...on DDBP it's $800. Bummer. But winning. A short time later I hold two 8s and get two more. Thanks. Then on a hold of 2 Aces I get AA as some of you can see from the pics Beejay posted. We are up to $1340! Gambling is fun again. Then quad 9s. Up to $1575.Then dealt quad 3s. Now I shouldn't have tortured myself on the redraw because I couldn't get paid anymore but I drew. Got the kciker. WOuld have been $800 on DDBP. So my twisted thinking is I am actually down $800! But I am sitting pretty at $1830. Then quad Js. Up to $2065. Not too bad on a $100 guys! Finally cashed at $1700 and played for about 2-2.5 hours. Very nice.

I even had to press the "Great Service" Button for only the second time in my life to get the slot attendant to watch my mchine for me. What???!! I was on a heater and didn't wanna give up my machine. I gave her $5 for her troubles. Tippin gto go to the bathroom. Only in Vegas right??

Off to Ballys to see Big Sack.

 

On way to Bally's I just couldn't get past the HL room and a nice bank of $1 uprights where I have had a lot of luck in the past. $100 in and nothing. But I could hear Macker yelling "Cash Out you swamp donkey!" So I did. For real. Left Flammy up $1500. Back up $1000 for trip.

There was a cool little Vegas moment I forgot about yesterday. Nothign big but it was in the category of "Things only observed in Vegas" The shoe shine guy in the Mirage bathroom belting out "Luck Be a Lady Tonight" and doing it justice! Well done my cheery friend. Just a fun moment.

So Bally's. I swear if it wasn't for Donny and Rick as Sully's I would be boycotting this place. Staff is top notch but this place as I have moaned about in the past is a grave for my money. It was the same. I played bad poker and lost my first $200 buy in to a guiy's aces when I flopped top pair. He played the hand well but dangerously limped for $2 pre-flop so I had no idea what I was getting into. He was a speeder and a reckless player. But I did pay him off at the river when he pushed a stack. I though he was bluffing a flush draw that flopped. He was not bluffing.

I lost my seconde $200 buy in on a limped pot. I was the Big Blind or I never would have been there with my 5/8. I flopped top two, check raised three guys and push my stack and the guy with J/8 calls. WTF dude? Is it a bad call on his part. You bet. I do want this donkey calling but not when he rivers a J to take it down! Arg!

Now Big Sack is still nowhere to be seen. I get a tex that he will see me at 11:00. So I do the only smart thing a guy on full tilt does. I go to the Mississippi Stud table.
