My Vegas Trip Report.....Day 1 August 4th....No Poker
We arrived on Friday but didn't play poker until Saturday.Â
Friday we go to check in, our room is suppose to have a King size bed and they tell us it is on the 3rd floor. We ask if they have any rooms with a view. They tell us they have one on the 16th floor with 2 queens and it has a view of the strip. We decide to take it. We get up to the room and it has a view of the airport. If you look at a 90 degree angle you could see the strip but the change was not worth it. We call down and say we want the room with the King Size bed. They say no problem and tell us it has a view of the pool but it is on the 3rd floor. We say no problem go down to the front and get the key. We get up to the new room on the third floor and is has a view but of an air conditioning unit. Still we don’t mind because we figure we would only spend a minimal amount of time in the room. The wife decides to go and have a shower because we have been travelling for the last few hours and she wants a shower. After her shower she is freaking out, she shows me a dirty towel. She calls down to the front and very calmly explains the situation, they say no problem, and say they will give us some new towels right away and will upgrade us to a suite the next day.
We decided to go to the Pink Taco at the Hard Rock as they have happy, two for one drinks and half price appetizers. As we are heading out we see that Eddy Griffin is playing at the Mandalay Bay, so we decided on the way back we would check out the show.
When we got to the Hard Rock and went to the pink taco after playing a few table games where I got beat. In the pink taco they only had seats at the bar so we sat there. While waiting for the drinks I decide to play a little bit of video poker. I put $5 in the machine and I’m playing only $0.25 a hand. I end up hitting a straight flush which gives me about $15 in the machine. The wife drops $20 in and is hitting too. The bar tender comes by and sees we have over $20 in the machine each and says he will comp us our drinks. We order our appetizers and keep playing the video poker. After a little while we are up and decide to leave, having our free drinks and winning more money then we spent for the appetizers.
We get a cab to Mandalay Bay and get tickets for the show. It was really funny but it started at 9 Vegas time and finished by 12. By that time we were really tired and headed straight back to the room and crashed.

Eleanor and I having our drinks
The view of the air conditioning unit
I get that all the time
I think I should be his stunt double.
