    My Trip Report

    Postcards-1.jpeg
    Folks,

    ‘Postcards From Vegas’ was an idea I came up with after I decided I didn’t want to post Trip Report’s anymore. It is nothing other than lots of photographs with zero context. Visuals without any descriptions, but all Las Vegas related.
    The perfect spot for it is the Misc Vegas Chat section. Volume I from mid June made it all the way through. Volume II in August made it three days and then, for whatever reason, was moved to the Trip Report section.

    I did not agree with that decision, but this world does not revolve around me and what I want (and I’m sure it’s safe to say that we can all agree that’s always unfortunate).

    I haven’t willingly done a Trip Report since October ’23 and had no intention to do anything other than create a ‘Postcards III’ thread in the Misc Vegas Chat section for my annual Super Bowl trip, but then I remembered something…and it is as wrong to this day as it was in February ’24.

    I did not come out for the Super Bowl last year because it was actually taking place at Allegiant Stadium, and I didn’t want to deal with that headache at all (my brother and my adult entertainment friends told me it was a smart choice). When I have had TR’s in the past, I never bother browsing through anybody else’s who are in town at the same time. It just hasn’t been anything I’ve done, so I was very surprised when I was looking through all of the TR’s from home last year. I was so surprised at what I didn’t see, that I created a thread about it.

    I didn’t intend for it to sound so harsh, honestly. I was shocked that I didn’t see one betting slip posted about the game. It’s the most watched program in these United States and there’s so many things you can bet on. I don’t even understand what the point of going is if you’re not wagering on it all…and I still don’t.

    Granted, there are only about six board members who actually bet on sports, so I shouldn’t have been all that surprised. This above thread was shut down pretty quickly, though. It turned into people posting about what they hate about people’s TR’s and the opportunity to bash me for even bringing it up. There were a few people I remembered who told me to do it myself if I didn’t like what was happening.

    Of course, that’s what I do every trip (especially the Super Bowl trips) and about two / three days earlier I posted my $2,000+ worth of bets in the Sports Book section for the game.
    SB-2.jpg
    So pho’k it. If nobody else is going to bet on the Super Bowl and do TR’s, I sure as hell will! I’m about to go all William Munny up in these parts!

    Lots going on over the week. I had a trip booked in NOV and bailed on it….which is just so wrong. It was a mistake because I remember thinking that I didn’t really want to be in Vegas and drunk for six/seven straight days…but it turned out I ended up being drunk for the six/seven days at home instead.

    A six month draught is an eternity and I have a lot of missed activities and opportunities I’ll need to make up for…and I intend to. Oh, do I intend to

    See you in Nevada.

    Enjoy yourself, make some big time bets for a big time game, AND I hope you make it to the Mecca of Gaming. The place apparently received a makeover that could make you blush.

    If there is one person on this board who embodies what Vegas is all about, I'd probably give you the award @FormallyTD

    Looking forward to the ride and best of luck this trip!
