Default Viva Las Vegas

Nothing like going to vegas for work and finding time to hit the tables. The start of the week was not all that great, Was down around $1800. Thursday I turned it around and got back to even and friday I left being up over 5 large.

I asked my host for my rating and just over 10hrs at the PH tables and averaged $180 a hand. (adding my play at Stratosphere and I probably played 14-15 hrs total which is low for me, but working over at Encore required a couple 14+ hr days). $5000 / 15hrs = $333 an hour. Almost all the time was rolling the dice, friday I spent about 2 hrs in Planet Hollywoods pleasure pit playing blackjack, which accounted for about $700 of my winnings.

I'll be back in December for the opening of Wynn's new property Encore, anyone going to be in vegas for it as well?

$5700 and change after tips

When in vegas and you are leaving a winner I always make sure to hook up everyone on the way out. During my play I always have bets down for the dealer so when I win they win and this way they make sure I have my bets down before the roll. Nothing is worse then having someone roll your number, hit the hardway, horn etc and you not get paid because you forgot to put the bet back up when collecting you moneys.

I'll be there..... As long as I can hide in one of your suitcases.

Super jealous bro, I went to Atlantic City with a friend of mine years ago. I won like 600 bucks and hauled ass, I still wonder how much money I would have won or lost if I stayed that night.

But 5,700 thats BALLER status!!!
