    Lost my traditional $20 on crappy airport VP. Thus concludes another excellent trip. Currently don’t have another tripped booked but thinking mid-Aug. Airport critters are so friendly

    Home in one piece. The late night departure/early morning arrival is nice. Slept a little on the plane. We’ll see how i feel later. Landed at 5:15 and home at 7:15. Wife is still asleep but the boys seem happy I’m home. They must think i brought them something.

    Time to head to the bank. The deposit slip says $5,660. Seems about right. Since it was a winning trip i always put a chunk into the boy’s college funds. If the winning trips continue their higher education will be well supplemented by VP.

    Back to reality. Lawn needs mowing, general house cleaning and cooking. I already miss having others take care of me.

    What was the profit, if you don't mind sharing?

    To quote the OP "Back in the room to pack. Grabbed a salad from Andiamo and Lyft is scheduled for 6:50. Quick math says I’m up $2,720. Pretty close the value of both royals. I’ll take it. Still a chance for more at the airport."

    I read that. But quick math while in Vegas is often WAY different than reality, I have left thinking I am down or up a certain amount only to realize I was quite a bit off.

    I figured he won't be back here for a while. You know, unpacking. catching up with family and household chores, getting ready for reality etc. I absolutely loved his report and writing style. BTW I never worry about the math. I come home flat broke. LOL

    Agreed, as do I. He and I do Vegas very similarly, although he is MUCH better at reports than I am. I gave up long ago trying it.

    Thanks for the positive feedback. Doing the reports helps break up the monotony of playing for hours. As for the question above, net profit was $2,720 +/-. I put together some numbers

    4Qs $50,000 coin in
    Binion’s $5,000 coin in
    The D.$39,000 coin in

    I was able to convert $2,020 in free play into $1961.25 in cash for my gambling associates. That explains the excess of cash above the profit value and my starting bankroll. For reference I only brought $1,000 for gambling, to start. Access to more if needed. If it wasn’t for the $1,150 BJ loss this would have been a much more profitable trip. Maybe it will trigger better future offers but I’m not holding my breath.

    Didn't really eat as well as normal. Access to the restaurants is getting harder even with them being at full capacity, at least when I tried to go. I think I’ll be skipping Barry’s on future trips. Food was very good but I prefer Andiamo for the price. Hoping Binion’s Steakhouse is open for my next trip. I asked at the booth but they didn’t know anything.

    The break out of town for half a day was also needed. If a day rental rate is reasonable I’ll keep doing it. I want to do the full underground Hoover Dam tour but it was still closed. Hopefully next time.

    That’s a wrap I think. No future trip yet but that will probably change this week. Probably won’t be a double dip on monthly offers type of trip but who knows. Thanks for reading and I’ll answer any questions.

    Great report. Agree on restaurants. Reservations are key. I’m making reservations now for my trip in late July.
    Barry’s looks good - never been. Always looking for a new steakhouse to try.

    Great trip report, even though the overloading the thread with random quads was an epic fail, since I think there were a little over 100 pictures of quads.:clap: Congrats on the 2 Royals, and sorry about the Bruins. The Islanders are tough to deal with.
