Vegas Day 3

I've got a little more time today than yesterday, so this should be a better post.

The night before last (when I lost 300), we went to the old downtown and saw the Fremont Experience. Basically it's a A/V display on the ceiling of the street. It's probably a mile long, and about 40 to 60 feet across. The music was the best of the 80s, so I put in my headphones for the audio. The video was pretty standard "we've got a cool screen" fare. That is, flying birds, flying planes, flying jets, flying spaceships, etc... Not the most spectacular thing I've ever seen.

Then I watched as a couple of the other guys played roulette. Definitely not the game for me. I should have grabbed a copy of the payout sheet to see where the best bets were. The only way it could be worth it is if you abuse the free drinks.

Now, on to last night (Thursday).

The conference wound up finishing a little after 5, and there was going to be a party from 7 to 10. However, neither the free drinks nor the talking excited me, so I skipped out and went back to the Venetian for Poker.

The only hand I remember clearly was A8o on the button. I raised, and the flop came Axx. I bet every street, and got called down by one person. I could just about see the AT in her hand. However, she showed A6, and my 8 played.

Total for the night:

+159 (cash out)

Total for the trip:
