Go POG! Travel safely, welcome to USA#n when you arrive.


I'm here! Arrived at the hotel around 10.30pm, didn't get any sleep on the plane but I fell asleep as soon as my head hit my pillow.

Nice view to wake up to!



My plan for today is just take it easy, will get an all day monorail pass and get off at every stop have a wee walk around find somewhere to eat etc then we're going to see Vegas! The Show in the evening, my dad will love that it's right up his street 😃

I might play some cash or table games afterwards depends how bad my jet lag is

Anyway first full day in Vegas let's ****ing gooooo!

Nothing like waking up early AF that first morning in Vegas, with all the anticipation and excitement ahead of you 😀 Good luck!


Currently at the Sportsbook at Westgate my god it is massive and with comfy chairs as well!

Spent an hour at MGM to have a look around and played some blackjack and left $50 so a good start to the gambling part lol



Went to Bobby's Burgers at Harrahs for lunch, I got the Bacon Crunchburger with chips (lol at french fries)

Was the best burger i've ever had, $75 got 2 of us don't think i'll ever get used to how expensive everything is ��



Enjoy the trip! I know you have been looking forward to it.


Can’t wait to read about it!


Thanks all!

I'm in bed now, Vegas show was brilliant even though I only knew 2 songs lol

Went to Bellagio after to see the fountain show and went inside to play some blackjack for an hour ish ended +$170 up there wahey

Played some baccarat back at the horseshoe, lost track of time with how much fun I had and the fact I was winning ��

I've still not played a hand of poker yet! I might play some cash tomorrow night, we'll see

Got some $20 spicy chicken wings at the food court, they were delicious yum


Night all!


Morning folks!

Going into Downtown Vegas today, got tickets for the Mob Museum

Might go to that Heart Attack Grill place for lunch although not sure if my dad will fancy it considering he's had 4 heart attacks ��


GL


Winning in the pits is an awesome way to start Vegas. We fly in tomorrow, can't wait.

When's the first tourney? I saw the Tag Team was on your original list, mine too, but looks like we both missed it


First tourny is tomorrow Day 1B of the Gladiators


The Mob Museum was awesome, I done the Crime Lab and Distillery experiences I love all that prohibition and Al Capone era **** lol

Went to Guy Fieri's Flavortown for dinner, got the brisket nachos and omg they were best thing i've ever had, $60 with a beer was well worth it


Currently waiting for a seat for 1/3 game so I can finally play some POKER!

I predict you're the tightest guy at your table.


God no I was the only person utg and button straddling :p

I bought in for the $300 max, cashed out for $550 so was a good few hours, 2 hands of note:

67ss

Nice woman raises I defend BB flop A95 two spades I c/c on flop turn is 8 get it all in she has AA (ouch) run it twice she bricks both times

T8cc

2 limpers I isolate on BTN to $20, 5 callers

T82 flop checks to me i go 50, 1 caller

Turn 9 guy c/c for his remaining 170 he has 97 and bricks both times

I started bleeding chips a bit near the end after the drink was flowing, but it was a fun game I was sitting next to an old man with funny stories lol

Played some Pai Gow Poker for a while afterwards, it's a bit of a slow burner game with loads of pushing but the table was fun, lost $50 there.

That's 3/3 days in profit, I hope i'm not using my luck up before I even start playing tournaments 😃 i'm playing Gladiators Flight B today let's goooo!


Where was that, that lets you run it twice at 1/3?


Horseshoe, not sure it was allowed but whole table agreed and dealer didn't care lol

Anyway here we gooooo, hopefully I play well and run good!



Jesus Christ it's frickin freezing in here


On my 2nd bullet already, KK on a KJ3 two spades flop, a
guy went all in for 25k with QTss and he obviously wasn't missing was he lol

Got my last 6k in with AK v 99 and didn't improve so not a great start but I have 30k again blinds are only 200/400 so plenty of time!

Forgot to take out my lucky coin with my birth year on it so that must be why I ran so bad 😃



I also got told off by a posh French staff member for walking through a restricted area so that was fun 😃


Good luck in the Gladiators!

I’ll be firing Flight C tomorrow


Cheers!

Got 33.9k at first break, only just made it back in time going back to room to get my jacket corridors and elevators are packed lol
