Made it home safe and sound. It was a fun trip but a bit of a whirlwind. My usual LV trip is 5-7 days while this one was really only 4 days due to my latenight arrival. Tourneys ate up 2 of those days and I really didn't have the time to really settle in at cash games. I prefer tourney play anyway but only played 4 cash sessions from 3-5 hours each.

The tourney portion was fine. Anytime you cash in any kind of tourney I consider that victory! One of these days I will make it to day 2 of a 2 day tourney 😀 Both Venetian and Wynn run really good tornaments. The Wynn daily 200 is the best daily to play if there aren't some other tournaments happening at the time. Venetian almost always has some sort of deepstack series running. Since I prefer tounaments I typically structure any trip around tourneys. If I was more of a cash guy I would stay at the other end since I think Bellagio and Aria are much better places to play cash games.

Treasure Island is a fine place to stay if you want that end of the strip. Pool is nice. Casino and restuarants are nothing special but you are just across the crosswalk to The Venetian and all its great places to eat. Rooms are fine and I scored a jumbo suite (although dated) for half the price of the Venetian or Wynn. Plus TI has an attached CVS which is handy and it even has a Popeyes 😀

But it was a great trip. I got real lucky at craps, cashed in a tournament and sucked at cash. I didn't really play enough at cash to ever get in a groove and I kind of tried to force it in between the tourneys.

But with any luck at all I be out there in the fall to try it all again. Thanks again for following along. I enjoy doing the trip reports even though they are all pretty much identical.
