Hi
Just got back from Vegas and though I tell you guys about my trip. This was my first time in Vegas and will not be my last. I loved the place; there was so much to do and so little time to do it in. Every day was like a rush of adrenalin, and now I sit back in my room wishing I could go back again.
I give you guys a day by day run though
Day 1 Saturday
Saturday was probably one of the least busy days as we had to fly out from Gatwick airport in London. We had a mid day sort of flight and landed about 3pm Vegas time. Our flight was on a premium economy seats by virgin active, now I say if you ever do a 9+ hour flight at min go premium economy. The service was awesome and the room between chairs was more than enough. Each seat had little food rest and the whole chair reclined back so you can sleep comfortably. I watch 3 films on the flight.
Ok so we arrive in Vegas and check in to ceasers place now as far as I was concerned the 5 star hotels I have stayed in were looking like run down slums compared to the Vegas strip hotels. The rooms were great in the tower where we stayed in the resort. By the time we got unpacked and had some food in what became our local buffet, I and Clark decided to go play some poker in the card room. Now for some odd reason they had $1-$3 going and $2-$5 going in both holdem and PLO I decided to buy in for $200 from that point on and made that my buy in max for the trip each time I sat down. Now the poker was soft there was so much limp/calling going on and next to no three betting. I think I could have beaten the game with my eyes closed. I found that all the players would min raise top pair or second pair to find out where they are in the hand. And no one ever raised flush draws or strait draws. It was like everyone (event the regulars) had no concept of fold equity. I can't remember any hands exactly but I made myself $250 playing a nits game. And that was the general style at which I played. I supposed I could have played looser but I think when everyone was being loose passive stations a simple take them to value town strategy was best.
Day 2 Sunday
Ok so with a nice win on day one and for some reason getting up for breakfast with the family we decided to go on down to the Bellagio and I have to say that hotel is nice. Me and Clark decided to go to see bobby room, I was somewhat disappointed to see how small it was I guess I imagined it to be some huge room like they have on poker after dark. We decided to play some poker seeing as we were there and this was like 11am so it was kind of degen like. I think I was like $15 down but I didn't really get to sit down long because the wait list was quite long, and me and Clark said we would go do some shopping with my ma and pa at 12
Little later than planned we went to what's called premier outlet was like a shopping mall to me but apparently it was a kind of ware house mall with cheaper prices. We went in lots of shops and I probably ended up spending all my winning+ more at the shops. I paid for some on card so I still had dollars for food, cabs and drink. We decided we were going to go watch the jersey boy's show later that night so we went over to the Venetian and booked that up for $145 per person. We had dinner and got dressed about 5pm so we could get to the show with plenty of time. Now the jersey boys show was awesome. I'm a huge fan of theatre and the way the director put the performance together was very good, the story was constantly moving forward and everything flowed well. I would hugely recommend seeing it.
After the show Clark and I went to CP club called PURE now the club was ok it was a shame it was not its busiest night and that only the outside bar was open to us. We got in free which was a bonus, and the music was good quite a mix mostly hip hop and RNB which for me was very strange to dance to. Many drinks later this drunken girl comes up to us and starts chatting to us, now I not had much experience with Americans most have been friendly and kind but I not met one as blunt as this girl was. Someone PM me on this are Americans blunt do they say what they think??. Well anyway I let my beer goggles get the better of me this time and ended back at her hotel. I must say I didn't realise she was crazy until I started to soba up and she asked if we could get married. I got out of there so fast. (OBV did it subtly and pretended Clark got thrown out of PURE)
Well I get back to my hotel only to find I can't get in my room because Clark has put the indoor latch on. So after screaming and banging the door down I decide to accept the fact I'm not goner go sleep at any point tonight so I might as well play poker. Lucky for me there was 1 game still running I sat down with $180 and decided to see if I can grind drunk even till 6.30 am then I could go to breakfast. I actually manage to win another $250 which was a awesome result for me. And when 6am rolled round I went for breakfast and then got into my room and fell asleep for a bit.
Day 3 Monday
After a little sleep Clark and I went to the gun range, we both tried out a bog standard 9mm hand gun. I thought it was good value for money go like 20 shots with it for 25 dollars. I was surprised how much recoil those things have on them, I was thinking of having a go at a magnum after but decided against it when I could just about handle a 9mm. We went round some of the hotels and casinos for most of the day was allot of walking and cabs. We got back to CP had a little sleep and went to New York New York for dinner. I had what I considered a big stake but was actually tiny in comparison to what some people ordered. I don't understand how some people can eat so much!. After dinner clark and I put in some hands at the poker table and I made about $100. And hit the sac
Day 4 Tuesday
On Tuesday we went round to three casinos the Wynn the stratosphere and the Luxor. Now the Wynn was real smart every detail was taken care of and the service at the bars and casino was to the highest degree. You can tell that your dollars are well spent in that hotel.
The stratosphere was cool we went up to the upstairs restraint and had a drink and looked at the view. We were going to do the rides but it was too windy we were not allowed on them. 
The Luxor was ok I think it was my least favourite hotel. I was not a fan of the Egyptian look, I been told there modernising it and turning it into what called THE POINT.
After all that I went to the shopping mall and spent some money on the edd hardy clothing line. Then me and Clark ordered room service and got ready to go out to PURE again for the final time. We didn't cue up for long and again we got in free. The night was awesome me and Clark got way to drunk for our own good and Clark manage to get thrown out. I up load some pics because they show a better story.
 
^me smashed. (right) me and clark
hot bar maids there
summery vegas was awesome. The women are hot the weather is great the games are soft and the amount you can do out there is awesome. Next time I go for a week and hope to get more in than I did this time.
