    I know the feeling.

    I hit two Royals at South Point last year on the same trip and one the year before.

    Congrats! If you do a trip report, would love to hear what this did to your host given comps, although I wouldn't be surprised if you were the exception to their typical treatment of winners. I could just picture Jamie screaming at me!

    I don't have the energy for or interest in doing trip reports anymore, at least not on trips like this where it's mostly just hanging out at Southpoint with my buddy, drinking and chatting. We only went off campus once, that was down to Fremont St. to go to Nacho Daddy and walk around a bit.

    I had one of the 2 bedroom suites comped up front via Cathie C in the host office for four nights. The casino was actually remarkably dead the first two nights....one of the bartenders commented that they were only 20% full for those two days, but she didn't mind because it was going to get crazier on the weekend, and it did.

    I played a TON, I mean we were pretty much there just gambling all day. With my big wins on the royal I was a little looser than I was. I swear there was one day where I put on 40,000 points.

    Got my $500 in Walmart gift cards (Merry Christmas, son) via their November promotion where you trade $25 in slot points for a $50 card (up to ten cards). That was easy enough.

    We went to the Mexican joint twice, the oyster bar twice, The del mar deli once, the cafe once, and the Silverado steak house once. If I had to guess, that all amounted to around $550 in food charges, which Rebecca R comped with no issues when I checked out. Happy to answer any other questions you might have :) I think per my mailing offer I had $150 in resort credits which I made no attempt to use, so I guess if you count that there was really only about $400 she had to comp

    Never got around to posting my play from a couple weeks ago. Sitting here at passport office getting a renewal. Ten years went by fast! Anyways, makes a physicians office look fast!

    Played almost exclusively UX ddb five play dimes. Venues: Resorts Crystal , Bellagio sports book, Caesar’s galleria (25c) plus a little MGM,Aria and Horseshoe and Wynn.

    Got off to a blazing start with two hand pays in first three days plus another good day without hand pay. I needed those because the tide did turn. Ended up for the trip but, not a lot. DDB - gotta ride the wave with a decent bankroll! I usually keep good track but, my data entry went off the rails half way through.

    Apologies for the photo dump! There more but..,

    Nice hits @bobby jones! Especially the AWAK on the 8X! Half of that game is hoping the big hands fall on the right line. Haha

    Waiting for the crew to join me and Tram over to the VGK game
    Perhaps my virgin session at a bar top in Vegas
    Note: 25 cents betting
    Played all the different games until I’d hit
    1st Royal ever! albeit with a deuce
    It never dawned on me how you could sit there and get hammered in such a short time
    Had a great time…

    Welcome to the world of bartop VP!

    Hopefully your first natural royal will follow along sooner than later!

    Uncanny how I'm lucking up catching these 1 outers on this terrible pay table, and hitting them fairly fast.

    Well, the one thing I like about the original Hot Roll installs, that's the worst TDB that they'll offer, even at nickels.

    Super Hot Roll and Hot Roll on a multi game unit can offer lower.
