ilovejulie 0 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Was in Vegas Thursday-Sunday this week. We had a dinner arranged for 11 buddies with Pete Rose, that my boss had purchased at a charity function. Pete told stories and signed all kinds of things we had brought, including Cincinnati Reds betting slips from that afternoon. LOL. He is obsessed with not being in the Hall. Maybe they will let him in after he dies. He is a degenerate gambler to this day, but could probably still be a good hitter. He's pretty fit. He said Koufax was the best pitcher he ever faced, and that his buddy Tony Perez once ****ed a chicken. I'm not making that up...let's just say they don't make them like Pete anymore. Played 1-2NL at Bellagio Thursday night and lost $200. Lady tourist stacked me when she rivered a K to her pair of KKs, when I had trip Q's from the flop.Played 36 holes at Bali Hai on Friday, shot 82, then 79 after about 14 gin and tonics through the day in 100 degree heat. I am an 8, but am usually better drunk. Won $410 off my boss.Cashed one ticket at the Preakness and netted -$2 at the sports book.Then got killed at Blackjack. The Bellagio had a dozen $10 tables on Friday and Saturday night, You know times are tough when they go that low on a weekend. They even have one $5 table going all weekend. Lost $500 in about 3 hours of play.Sunday, lost another $200 playing 4-8 Limit. One asian woman was playing at the table while waiting for the 15-30 game to start and had the biggest stack of $100 bills in her pocket that I have ever seen. They all knew her and called her Emmi or something like that.Never saw a game going at all in Bobby's Room. Link to post Share on other sites

sandwedge 30 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Good report.As a kid, I loved watching how Charlie Hustle played the game. I wish there were more like him, minus the degeneracy. I think he deserves to be in the HOF, as long as he never bet against his team. I saw him in vegas a few years ago -- it was sad to see him sitting by himself at a table waiting to sign autographs.I was at the game in Atlanta when his 44 game hitting streak came to an end.

Still, he makes $200K for sitting there all alone. He seems like a very lonely guy, perhaps that's why the Asian "girlfriend" with HUGE knockers....but she must be a steady, she was here in Atlanta in October when we met him, and is still with him now. Charlie Hustle, you bet! Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Come out to the FCP Golf tourney later this month. Balloon Guy is challenging everyone to a long drive contest...Pinnacles for everyone !Hardly seem to get any 300 yards+ anymore. I may not be the winner this year.Of course this will be the first year they have prizes for longest drive I'm sure...Sounds like a good time in Vegas.Was Bali Hai worth the money?

They treat you well, have a decent clubhouse and proshop, and it's in very good shape. Greens were not as fast as they should be, but the layout is fun, pretty to look at, cute cart girls also nice to look at, and they have caddies if you can walk, which is awesome. The bad news is that the driving range is a ridiculous 30-yard-long netted cage. How does one spend $30-40M for land and building a course like this and put people into a god-damned aviary to warm-up! At $325 without caddy it's a bit steep, but that's better than the $500 Wynn charges for his abomination and sacrilege that used to be my beloved DI course.... Link to post Share on other sites
