    Good Luck UK. Hopefully you hit em hard and bring a bag full of cash home. Do you plan on placing any NFL or NCAA prop bets?

    Not just yet. I have a return trip already on the books for mid August. That is when I usually make my NFL prop bets for the season

    Well, the good news is my flight has landed.

    The bad news is that it is a full flight. Sigh. Well, here is hoping a tiny person sits next to me. Or a clean person. Or an attractive person. OK, I will settle for just no ogres

    Super frustrating sitting on the Tarmac when the airport is packed, but its better to get the run bad out of your system now. Sorry to be silver linings guy. A least you're in Vegas!!!

    OK, time for the first big update. Despite bad weather warnings, the flight was decent. Caught up on my shark related interests

    My spidey sense tells me this is more than getting longhauled by a failed mortician cab driver with a penchant for garlic and slavic winter sports and a chip on his shoulder the size of a Kardashian arse.

    So the plane lands, I hop off and head down to the baggage area. I didn't check a bag, so I do two quick laps searching for my driver from the Wynn. But I don't see him

    So I call my host. He says he will take care of it and I tell him I will just meet the driver on zero level. I head outside and proceed to wait. And wait. Then wait some more.

    Finally, after half an hour, a driver shows up. And its not even a Wynn driver or car. Its some for hire company and the limo smelled like puke.

    So I hold my breath, ride to the wynn and get checked in. Nobody even asked me about the car or what happend. Come on wynn. You're better than that.

    So I am a little peeved and tired from standing in the heat. I head straight to the suite and kick back for a few minutes. I think everyone has seen pics of this suite, but here are some more

    Very unexpected from the Wynn UK! Now you have me kinda nervous, especially on a Tuesday since my host promised me the Rolls on Saturday. Im in a parlor suite but very nice salone! He gave me a choice and told me it would be better for me to take the parlor if I didnt need the space.

    Hope the rest of the trip goes without any mishaps!

    After getting settled, I headed down to the casino. Noticed they are doing some work. Half the craps pit is closed

    And some of the blackjack tables as well

    I headed off to the high limit for some blackjack and things went ....... Poorly
