TR vegasnuts goes nuts for 44 days in sin city

Day 5
Decided to make it a mellow good friday
As it was real nice outside i decided to go to the paris spa shortly(steamroom/sauna) and than to the Paris pool


It was real nice outside sunny and warm(27 degrees celsius)

After a small hour i was ok to leave again and went to the paranormal show



I must say the 5 stars on yelp and travelzoo were deserved it was an amazing show which lasted somewhat over an houre

After the show i went to harrahs to sign up for the invitational pokertournament.

After this i stroke two flies with one stroke(dutch saying[emoji6] ) and went to the harrahs diamondlounge to get some food and drinks but i saw this sign


Anyway i went in anyway as i saw three people get out and i was by myself, i got lucky and got seated in one minute



The pasta was below average so i only ate half of it and got me some salad


To finish it of i didnt feel like dessert so i took a frozen magarita(sorry i already drank some of it when i made the pic[emoji6])




A frugal day and i think i wont gamble today( a little break is always good to stop the downfall)

Tomorrow is another day in Paradise and i will keep you guys posted

 

Day 5 continues
Went to the linque to play some mickey mouse tournament
Who dealt me ? Whaduppppp!!! Its the Trooper

I played reasonable well but just didnt reach a cashin( finished 4th, first three chopped)i could have knocked out earlyer 2 players had a/9 suited but folded( flop q 10 A which gave one of the two a straight so i thought good fold!!!) guess what turn and river was?
So sick(A/A) which had given me quads
Ohh well thats poker for ya

 

Whaddup , ITS THE TROOPER !

Awesome that u spotted him !

 

Hope you kick some butt in the big tourney today! And glad you are doing a report, fun to follow along on your crazy 44 days. Still working on getting there sometime in April to say Hi!

 

It was just by coincidence i was on my way back to ballys and as i didnt really wanted to gamble i thought well lets be frugal on gambling and do the 45$ tournament( with one re entry possibly) i saw the trooper dealing and later he dealt my table and during the tournament break i asked if i could take his picture.....i am following him on youtube now over a year .....we talked on the break( together with another las vegas local) and he is like in his videos a real nice and down to earth guy...he recognised me too as we are on fb

 

I hope so too man, we had fun last trip..always good hanging out with you

This is the guy who i introduced to play some poker
First tournament he played with me at ballys( so 40 people bought in) he won and chopped first price with some others....impressive
Quit your dayjob and become a pokerpro bro:evillaugh

 

Ha! I just came across this thread... and having previously met Mr. VN, I'm so happy for him! He knows how to do Vegas right... he weaves himself right into the "fabric of Las Vegas"!!! Have a BLAST my friend!!!

 

I'm staying at Linq in May, I'll probably stop by and say "WHATS UUUUP" to The Trooper. Just started following him on YouTube last week, his Vids are a awesome.

 

Thnx man i appreciate
Not so doing so well on the gambling part but hey i hope ( and know) it will get better again

 

Yeah im following him on youtube now already a year(makes you feel to be in vegas a little bit)
He is a nice and down to earth guy as well

 

I hope that's not related to the dutch rudder from an older thread!

 

No way get your mind outof the gutter[emoji6]
im a non sinner in sincity[emoji41]

 

You'd be dead in 44 days if a sinner!!

 

Haha I think that was me that said that in the other thread. I was quoting a movie of course :evillaugh

 

Nahhhhh i dont believe you
You were referring to that other xxx rated TR
Im sorry not gonna happen here [emoji56][emoji6]
Nice try though[emoji6]

My movie is more like 40 days and 40 nights[emoji6]

 

Day 5

Today i went to the free invitational eastern pokertournament at harrahs







The music was pretty good[emoji6]
Seriously it wasnt gonna happen, normally i like shortstacked turbo pokertournaments but i didnt get the cards and had the feeling to make some good bluffs either, i played pretty tight and just run out of chips

After this i thought well just play some tx hold m( my favorite tablegame) at harrahs
Big mistake and although i had some fun a couple of hours later my money was gone

Went back to my hotel and will have a quiet evening will have some snacks and drinks in my room



I will just take a little break from gambling and also this TR ( otherwise this will be a boring TR as well[emoji6])

 

Great report so far! I don't think a daily report is necessary but certainly do it if you want to! Just relax and enjoy your extended stay in our favorite city.

I'll be following along!

 

Enjoying your report. Ross clued me in to it. He mentioned earlier that you weren't lucky n the tournament. I was rooting for you!! Heading to Ballys in about 3 weeks but not sure I would want to stay for 44 days!

 

Good stuff so far and looking forward to more! 44 days is a lot but I understand how it can be done. I've personally done 3 trips and each was for 14 nights and haven't felt like it was too long. If I lived within 3-5 hours from Vegas, then I'd do shorter trips but flying 15 hours one way for a long weekend sounds awful. All of you who go for 2-4 nights and go absolutely mental with very limited sleep, it's different. One day we can take it easy and hang around at the pool or take longer walks and stuff like that, no hurry whatsoever to do something or be somewhere etc. On another day we go berserk on the casino and sleep late if we feel like it.

Out of curiosity I have to ask, how much are you paying for 44 nights? Did you negotiate a deal or just book them like you would for a shorter trip?

 

I got an average deal on the hotelstay
Asked nicely to my host if he could get me a better deal as last time(4 weeks) he got me a great deal...and he came through ( didnt know that) when i checked in last week i was pleasantley surprised the total hotelbill( multiple reservations) was reduced significally[emoji3]
