Well, had me a great day n half in Vegas full of good poker, good food, good nookie and good hospitality.
The wifey was working and had us shacked up in one of the parlor suites at the Wynn. If you ever have an extra $600 or $700 a night for a hotel or have a big company budget to spend.....I highly recommend the Wynn rooms. Room was almost as big as my house complete with plasmas in the bedroom and sitting rooms, spa tub, the good to hump-in shower etc.
Only hung out with the wife for about 4 hours the whole trip and the rest of the time was poker and food. The Wynn poker room is NICE and COMFY. Only played the 1/3 NL and took $150 off the table in about 2 hours the night I got thier.
Woke up early and caught a tourney at the RIO which basically sucked. 110 players...lasted to about 34 and then the blinds were at 500/1000 with 100 ante thus the stack went quick with no luck. Tourney ate up a big chunk of the day and then went over to MGM and wasn't able to get on a table but that room is NICE as well.
Went over to the Alladin and sat in the 1/2 and took $450 off the table in 2 hours. Most of that came in one hand where I flopped top set with 2 clubs on board and had 2 people rasing me and then calling my all-in with both on the flush draw. The table was very weak except for one other guy who had about $800 sitting in front of him. Was up to about $750 at one point but settled for the $650 take down when I heard the wife whip being cracked for our only dinner together that evening.
Couple more hours at the Wynn and broke even. Flew home early this Sunday morn to pick up the kids and relish in my $590 profit for about 6 hours of play.
Had a great time for the short stay and highly recommend anybody playing at the Wynn, Aladdin, or MGM but stay away from RIO not because of competition but it just seemed like it was a waste of a trip off the strip for such a crappy poker room.
By the way, biggest stakes I saw for NL was 2/5 with a 5/10 opening for a couple hours at MGM.
Look forward to going back on a guy trip for longer sessions at the tables.
