    Can you post the minimum on the Crap Bubble machine by the sports bet at El Cortez. I'm heading out Thanksgiving and want to know if it is worth going downtown.

    Couple pics from our suite at El Cortez. Went to the diner for dinner. The southern fried chicken was really dry. My wife got the mac and cheese and it was good. She got cheesecake to go.

    No chip porn. Lost 75 at 3 card. Only lost 10 at craps, shot for a while and hit 3 points, but it was a choppy table. It was 10 all day at the El Cortez.

    Bubble craps is $1 min. I didnt play just walked by

    I forgot to upload some chip porn earlier because I didn't take a picture.

    Played high card flush with the wife
    Hit a 6 card flush with a 5 card straight. Got 5 black chips and about 8 in red. Finally starting to pull my own weight.

    My wife is killing it on slots.

    I'm not a slot guy, but you guys keep talking about these Silver Strikes...

    Dinner at Pizza Rock, finally. Got the Pepperoni Sicilian pizza. It was fantastic. Way more than 2 people can eat.

    To 4Q and Binions for some craps and slots with the wife.

    The night wound down at Binions. Craps was 10 after dinner. At 7 the girls took over the table in their outfits. Was fun for a while and I lost my 200.

    Went to play High Card Flush with my wife. We made 500 at the table. We ayes some slots together and made over 1k. We are both up over 500 for the trip. Binions and Golden Gate have been good to us.

    We got desserts to go from Binions Cafe. She got carrot cake and I got chocolate cake. Both were ok.

    Not sure where we will go tomorrow. We need some play at El Cortez to get offers for our next trip as we haven't played here much.

    Amazing donuts from the Donut Bar! Saved one for tonight.

    We went to a laundromat to take care of clothes. Now to an escape room, buffet and games at South Point.

    Its been a rough day. Did an escape room at Eacapology. The room had some issues. We did escape, but felt like we had to be led by the nose.

    South Point was a huge bust. Lost 300 at craps and another 100 at Mississipi Stud. Wife lost about 900 at slots.

    The buffet was ok. Nothing to write home about. Dinner at Evel Pie and games at El Cortez tonight.

    Lost 100 at 3 card quickly. No one is playing 10 dollar craps so Im at bubble craps. Was hoping to try the Silver Strike machine while we were here but it broke was we were coking downstairs. Maybe it will be working tomorrow.

    It was all your luck that finally got a win and can show off some chip porn

    The craps table at El Cortez was dead around dinner, so I played some dollar bubble craps. The guy beside me was so old he fell asleep while he was shooting. Saw 2 guys walk up to the real table so I booked it over there.

    Bought in for 200 on the 10 dollar table. They have partitions up so they can play 4 to a side. They were missing a stickman so either the box or the dealers ran stick. They were all over it and the game was fast.

    One of the other two guys at the table had a decent roll and was putting dealers on the numbers. His friend had them up on hardaays. They crew was into it and rooting for us like it was a full table. Lots of fun and lots of action.

    I was down to 40 dollars until I went on a roll. A bunch of 7s on the come out. I hit points as hardways. Lots of money out. More people jumped on the table. One guy had black on the hard 6 and 8. We hit one of them and I thought he was coming threw the glass to hug me. The table was super alive. One of the guys dropped 5 on the hard 6 and 8 for me since i was making him hand over fist green chips. It was the best roll I've had on the trip.

    I finally cashed out at 500. The dealers made over 100 in tokes before i left the table. I always enjoy the El Cortez and this time it was fun even at 10 dollars.

    Dinner was at Evel Pie tonight. The garlic knots were ok, nothing special. Their pizza is pretty tasty.

    Tomorrow we are playing downtown until we can check into our room at the Bellagio.

    This morning we went to Binions. Craps opened at 10 for 5 dollars. Lost 50 but had a lot of fun. Played some Let it Ride with my wife. Played for about an hour and lost our 100 but in. Went to 4Q. They opened their craps table sometime before 11 for 10 dollars. Wife played some VP with her free play and did OK. Used her FP at the D and GG. Nothing special.

    Checked out of El Cortez and headed to Bellagio. Their goody bag had some nice masks, sanitizer and the button pushing tools. We have a Tower Fountain View King facing room. Nice tub where my wife can see the fountains.

    Walked to Ballys and played High Cars Flush and Bonus Texas Holdem. Wife broke even and i lost 100 at each table. Both of Ballys tables are 10 and were full.

    Walked to Ellis island. Craps was 5 and was full.

    Got Giordanos for dinner. Tastes just like it does in Chicago.

    Drink service at Bellagio was dog slow. We played for close to 1.5 hours at slots in different areas and got one drink. Pretty frustrating. Worse service than downtown.

    At the Bellagio pool this morning. Got here around 9 and there was no wait. They expect the pool to be very busy starting Friday and through the holiday weekend. Been here and hour and a waitress has been by three times. It's nice and quiet
