Ok so as some of you know I am returning to Vegas this weekend for a quick trip with the wife. This is her first so I want to be gentle. Will not have the time to play long tourneys as I want to spend a lot of time showing her around. However I will play some of the shorter smaller dailies while she's making her fortune at the one armed bandits... Likely some cash as well but it will be limited. I hope to have her play at least one of the dailies with me (Excalibur 9am perhaps?). If she likes it maybe a 2nd?
I will have my small laptop with me so will try and do some reporting, especially since we have internet with the mandatory resort fee... Ughhh!

GL Dad and Mrs. Comp!
Landed about 10 min ahead of schedule at noon Vegs time, grabbed a cab, told him Excalibur via Swenson and Tropicana, he grunted and said, worried about getting long hauled huh? lol, guess word is out there. cab ride $17. gave him a $100. and said just give me $80. He fumbled for a while but eventually came up with it.. lol, not sure if he was tying get me to say keep the change or not.. Checked in line was fairly long, about 15min and when we got up to the counter was told room not ready yet, told him wife wasn't feeling too well is there any other option. Got upgraded to nice corner tub room on 16th floor looking east towards MGM, Tropicana and the airport. Beautiful view this morning with the sun rising over the mountains...
Had the 2pm breakfast buffet at the Ex as that is our favorite and it was ok... Nothing special..
Took the wife on a little tour of the Ex, NYNY and MGM to get a "feel" as she called it.. Then ended up walking north to Walgreens to buy some water, snacks, etc. Man that's a walk for old people...
Back to home turf Ex and me off to the poker room and myself to play 1/2 and her slots. Only 1 table at 5pm but it was pretty loose. I had only a 10 min wait so that wasn't bad. Up and down a bit, finally decided to play the 8pm donkament, $45. 5000 chips starting at 25/50, 15 min blinds, 35 entries after a couple of re-entries and late comers. By the 4th level 200/400, definitely push fold poker which a lot don't seem to realize.. Saw one guy down to 700 at 4-800 and he actually outlasted me, so what do I know?
Any ways we are still at 3 shorthanded tables when I bit the dust. Blinds at 600/1200, I have about 12K, somewhat above average. Pretty card dead other than KK early, mostly just shoving at the appropriate spots to keep reasonably healthy although I did double up a shortstack who was folding everything. I was in the small blind folded to me with J, junk. I shove into his BB, he thinks a while before calling me with AJ suited, why he took that long I have no idea. My final hand I limp AQ hearts UTG expecting a shorty to shove, folded to the big blind who covers, he shoves A,2 and proceeds to smash a flop of 8,2,2.. lol. Oh well guess I shouldn't have limped..;)
Wife had a scary incident with a scamming couple which I will elaborate on later, gotta go grab early morning breaky and play the 9am donkament... Hoping I can get her to play.
Enjoying the TR so far.

Have fun. Don't win more than you can comfortably carry.

Yesterday we walked the whole strip, most every casino from the Excal all the way up to the Venetian and back, approx. 8 hours her playing penny slots in everyone just to say she did it. Borrrrring... lol. I was along as her bodyguard. No poker until we got back dinner time.. My impressions are that there is a lot more homelessness and scammers on the strip then years ago. Millions of time share sellers trying to give you "free" dinners and shows for your time. Can't believe people waste a whole day listening to this stuff.
Played the 8 pm donkament, 28 runners this time and never got anything going or won a hand at all, Finally shoved KJ suited into big blinds KQ and out. Think I had like 6BB's at that point. You really need some good cards in the middle stages to go anywhere in these turbos. There is a group of 8 British guys here playing everyone of these and they make it real fun and interesting though.
Today stay closer to home and play more poker..
Good luck on the trip.
