Weekend Trip Report 02/20-02/22

Goal of the Trip:

Meeting two friends in Vegas with the goal of bring the casinos to their knees….

The Characters involved:

Me, The Furlough Kid (he works for the state), and El Cheapo (for obvious reasons).

The Location:

Rio (me) The Luxor (them)

Left home at 5:30 arrived at the Rio at 9:00 (stopped at Primm for breakfast). There was no traffic or rain. Played $10 craps for a little over an hour and walked away up $5. This breaking Vegas deal was going to take a while. I decided to play cards 3 card and black ended up losing $300. Seeing as it been only 2 hours since I last ate, I walked over to the Gold Coast and ate their $3.49 Eggctacular special (two eggs any style, and your choice of meat. toast or English muffin. It was great, but it didn’t kill me either.

After eating, I played a little $5 craps. The thing about craps is you have to play conservatively till a shooter gets hot (or make wrong bets, but I’m lousy at that). No one was even lukewarm here. So I went to the cage to cash in my chips. There was a line (there’s always a line when I want to do something) and a CW was taking drink orders! Nearly everyone was cashing their paychecks, thus the long line.

From the Gold Coast I walked to the Palms. At the $10 craps table someone finally got hot and I was able to double my money! There was the old biker guy would made a snarky remark after anyone craped out no matter how long they rolled. When his turn came to roll he craped out after his second roll I said, “Way to go!” one of his favorite lines. He looked like he wanted to rip my throat out, but atlas, he was out of money and left. I went to check out the Playboy club but it was closed (those lazy bunnies). It was three O’clock and time to check in at the Rio.

After reading all the post here I figured everyone was staying (comped of course) at the Wynn, MB, Encore, or the Bellagio (Funny when I stayed at those places there weren’t long lines), so I should be able to walk right up and get upgraded for free. Image my surprise when I came to the Rio and the check in line was to the door!

Somehow I managed to survive the indignity of having to wait in an other line and went to my room on the 9th floor. The room came equipped with a mini-fridge, safe, sofa, arm chair, table, one of those mirrors that magnifies your face like 1000 times, a cylindrical pillow, and that bench in front of the bed that hoity-toity people have. My only complaint was when you walked in the room the entry way smelled like bacon. Next time I’ll have to ask for a kosher room.

Next: The coconspirators arrive…..

Part II

Realizing that soon my partners in crime will be arriving shortly I made decided it would be a good time to head for the Wynn. I like gambling there, and my skinflint friend don’t so this would most likely be the only time I’ll be able to go over there. I got there by taking the free shuttle to Harrah’s then taking a cab to Wynn (to save time). My luck with the cards wasn’t any better there, but I did meet a family (two sisters and their husbands) who apparently visit locales that have legalized gambling (Italy, Dominican Rep extra). Anyways my friends texted and said they were at the Luxor so off I went.

Apparently, “at the Luxor” means nowhere near the Luxor. So I went to play craps and this kid form Hawaii, or at least I think he was cause every time he hit a number (like the point, 6 or 8) he would scream Honolulu! I was able to win over $200 from this guy alone. Finally the arrived (for reals this time) and checked-in. They were given a second floor (1st floor for my British friends) room. I went to look at it since I’ve only stayed in the tower rooms. It was nice. I don’t see why people bash that place.

We decided to go to the Hard Rock and have the all you can eat prime rib special (not on the menu) at Mr. Lucky’s. I had the 777 special (not on the menu either) which is steak, four shrimp, and mashed potatoes for wait for it…$7.77. After eating we hit the tables, craps for El cheapo and myself No Bust 21 for The Kid. I got on a hot streak and won the fire bet for some drunk guy and he gave me $100! The table grew cold so we move to another where some rich guy was throwing $5 chips at his friend for bad mouthing some deal, so we left for the Trop…

Played some 3 card won $100 moved to Let it Ride with 3 card bonus lost $50 then moved to $5 craps where some guy started a fight with the dealers and boxman over the way he was throwing the dice. He yelled at them saying things like what are you going to do throw me out I can go other places. He did leave. In better times, I believe he would have been shown the door…

Soon El Cheapo wanted to show us how to play Pai Gow (he suddenly became an expert) so we went to Casino Royal (where he said he won a lot of money playing it). I knew they had craps with 100x odds there I agreed to go. For some reason we didn’t find any Pai Gow tables (they must have moved them), so we left for Harrah’s…

At Harrah’s They sat down and played. They funny thing was Mr. Know it all kept making mistakes and the dealer got pissed to we left to the craps tables where we spent the rest of the night.
