Bachelor Bender - March 3/7-11 Trip Report

You want to see a very bad man? Make an ordinary man successful beyond his imagination. Let’s see how good he is when he can do whatever he wants.

I’ve been building toward this trip report for the last two years - my last was March 2022. Since then, I’ve blown my gambling bankroll in the pits, rebuilt it at 5/10 NL and some small WSOP cashes just to blow it again on sports, hit a $10k dealt royal in video poker during F1 weekend, and gained 15 pounds from my quest to try every steakhouse in Las Vegas. (I’m currently at 70 out of ~93, but that’s a story for another thread). In other words, life has been good.

Now, one of my best friends is getting married and called upon me to be his best man. That means he gets a bachelor party in Vegas with plans to indulge in all the sins this city offers.

The boys begin to arrive today, Thursday the 7th, and will continue to stream in through Saturday morning. I recommended the Cosmo wraparound suites, but got overruled 9-1 in favor of the Flamingo. I guess we won’t spend much time in the rooms anyway, and room savings will help boost all of our bankrolls.

We have an exciting itinerary planned, with plenty of time for blackjack, craps, and general debauchery. Expect the average BAC of the trip to be .1.

Thursday night: dinner at Giada’s.

Friday night: dinner on the Ocean Prime patio followed by a table on Skyfall Lounge’s patio. Sapphire’s or Spearmint TBD.

Saturday: Wake up early for F1 Jeddah, brunch at La Fontaine, bet college hoops at the Fontainebleau sportsbook. NoMad Bar to pregame the Red Wings / VGK game, then tickets to the VGK game. Midnight fire pit at Circa’s Legacy Club, followed by early morning wandering down Fremont.

Sunday: dinner at Bazaar Meat then bar-hopping our way south down the strip.

I’ll post some pics and updates as I can. Here we go…
