MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 In other news, looks like I'm going again June 27-30. Boys trip. Also doing a poker trip with just me and my brother, but probably only 2 nights. dates TBD. I guess I'm getting Vegas out of my system pre-baby, haha. Nice, but Im telling you, and you know this, you ain't getting it out of your system no matter how many times you go before that baby comes out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I fly in the 25th and stay til July 3. And Arp, these days you should walk across Harman from the Cosmo and play at Caesars. Their poker room has really started catering to the lower limits, with giveaways and whatnot, plus it's a horrifically bad tourist crowd at the tables. You should mow them down AND have some fun.

The only time I saw that poker room was back in like '98? or sometime really really long ago, when I was way too intimidated to play poker and I think Mirage was one of the few places on the Strip with poker, or at least newer places.

It used to be THE place to go. In fact, before Bellagio poker room, the Big Game was played there: Doyle, Chip, and a young DN used to play there all the time. Now it's not quite the same. Low limits, but friendly crowd and relatively comfy room. Link to post Share on other sites

What Chris said. In the morning they have great promotions. Like lose with aces and $60 ($100 maybe?) I love it. I buy $300 in $1s and build mountains playing against $60 stacks Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I've payed 10/20 there. Link to post Share on other sites
GWCGWC 83 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I think I played 12/24 there with a whole lot of blue dollar chips. Try to avoid the Venetian unless you want to help directly fund an insane billionaire buy political influence to the detriment of all poker players in the USA. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Wow what a week. Been back for 36hours, and I'm still dozing off everywhere. Went on a couple of roulette runs that would have made even Wayne proud. RE: POKER. Was too busy with work/work related social functions when I was at Cosmo to devote time for poker at Bellagio/Ceasars/Aria as you guys recommended, and then after we moved to MGM, I didnt get back to the mid strip for poker. Every time I considered playing at the MGM room, I looked over the crowd, and everyone looked depressed. I just cant make myself sit down at a poker table with a group of strangers who all take themselves so seriously. I'd rather give my money to a pro player like Daniel, if he would take my stakes, because at least he has a fun demeanour. That, and every game always being NL just kept me off. They really screwed up moving that poker room, and everyone who works there knows it too. I really miss the old room, and I really miss the 2-4/3-6/4-8 limit games we used to play all the time. Dave, if I knew you were coming so soon after I left, I would have left you a care package of our leftovers instead of just leaving them for the maid. I think there was a half bottle of CC Rye, some Grey Goose, about 40% of what I think was a 60KG bag of M&Ms, twizzlers, half eaten Fatburger and a few random beers. You know, breakfast stuff. Seriously though, very cool that you're going with your father+brother, thats a nice boys trip. Enjoy the time with them, and GL! Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Great report arp! I miss playing limit poker with you. That one time at the MGM with you and everyone playing limit was the best. I probably had a losing session that night but it was the most fun I ever had playing poker. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 hah! Arp, I'm sure I could have put at least 95% of that care package to good use Alas, we only finalized the details of the trip a couple days ago, so I couldn't give you fair warning. Just found out we are staying in a 1600 sq foot penthouse suite at Mirage, should be pretty sweet. I'll try to do a better trip report than my last one when I return next week.

Dubey 1,035 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 That reminds me of a "tip" that we left for our maid one year. If I remember correctly, it was a 6-pack of beer, a 1/2 bottle of Rye, 7 or 8 $1 bills, a handful of change, and a crappy little acoustic guitar that one of my buddies won at excalibur that we all signed with a sharpie(lol) Link to post Share on other sites
