And away we go on a Saturday in Vegas - woke up about 12noon and hit the Strip for caffeine and a mini blackjack session: [wpvideo 7byQrkbw] [wpvideo gVwM0ndG] [wpvideo qBlB1Y1d] Stopped in at the Flamingo and sat down at a 100min table in the high limit room to play - got through one shoe without incident and grabbed another 400 - making the trip now -1500Headed back to the room to relax and the movie Dodgeball was on - had to watch it while relaxing - showered, ironed a button down and slapped on my shiny sneakers and headed out -- walked down to the LinQ promenade to Starbucks but, lo and behold, they were all out of cold brew -- so, the barista suggested an iced coffee with a shot of espresso -- oh yeah, it hit the spot -- as I made my way back through the Flamingo, I decided to stop and play a few hands in the high limit pit while figuring out what to have for dinner -- I played a quick ten hands and picked up 600 -- no fuss no mussTrip is now -900 I had the Total Rewards desk print out my Diamond Celebration $100 gift certificate and headed to the steakhouse in the Flamingo -- I ate there back in October and enjoyed every morsel -- the bread they give you pre-meal is a butter and salt croissant - delicious - I ordered the 7oz. filet and it was seasoned perfectly - the fries were also delicious - if you are ever looking for an excellent meal - definitely check out the Center Cut Steakhouse
Nightclub news:
I was talking to one of the security guards in the hotel about how crazy the nightclub line is - he told me ladies get in free before midnight so the line gets insane -- I asked him what they charge the men -- he said “Right now, it is $75” then added “depending on how many women are in the club, they raise the admission prices” - finally stating that he has seem them charge men as much as $300 each to get in -- WOW!
I made my way to the high limit room at Flamingo, bought in, played six hands, and achieved the dream:EVEN!!!
